Politics. I detest it.

Today I had a bad day. A real bad one which left me thinking the working world is really deceiving and dark. Everyone's faces seems so angel when they talk to you but behind their masks, its all plotting against you trying to make you feel helpless at times. I dont deny, it has affected me substantially and nothing could explain how i really feel. I hate this awww feeling. Did i trust people too easily? Or i was just plain naive? I felt stupid. I dread going to work now. Its a complex feeling tt I have never experienced b4. All along, I thought I could handle work politics, but this incident has kept me more vigilant. My colleague told me its all up to how you perceived it and what you are going after. 1)A simple job = do your tasks dutifully everyday and dont ever think of promotions! 2) A job with responsibilities and higher salary = be involved and play politics. that's the way to a higher promotion! Its true to a certain extent of what he said. Occasionally, pacing your life a bit slower might not be a bad idea after all. A kampong life could be one. Simple yet able to experience the nature of life which you cant obtain it in a city dweller life. However, not everyone is ready for it. Me? I not prepared too.
