Keeping my fingers crossed

Today we're having a presentation at one of the hospitals in Jakarta. The value is almost 1 billion rupiah, and it's worth to try. The problem is, we will have to deal with the arrogant doctors from one of the well-known universities in Indonesia.

Our contact there was very helpful. Thank God….I was just thinking how God loves me very much. How does this relate to my personal well-being? Well…I can say that this is how God tries to show me that He does exist. Lately I face conflicted interests at work. One party wanted me to be as minimal as I can, so that the other party would learn the hard way without our help. And the other party expect me to do maximum I can, and they were smart enough to give me decree. Dunno what to do…

Once upon a time, my superior invited me to talk four eyes only. Implicitly, he wanted me to reject offerings from them, and promised me I could continue my study anytime I want. I’m committed more to him than the other party, so I agreed with the offering. And only God knows how my future will be. Afterwards, we were busy with projects outside.

Then comes this tender offers from one of our students. Actually I have rejected her once, and asked her to call the Venture Manager at the faculty. I don’t know why, she didn’t do it! Waited for weeks, she then called again last week.

This time she asked me much about the program at human resource, and told me that she wanted to change her subject and study there. She is a student at master of child clinical pychology, but her job position now is in human resource department. So I welcomed her, but I suggested her to complete her degree in child clinical psychology first before moving to human resource psychology.

And then she offered me the project again. Wow…she’s very persistent! This time I took her seriously, and talk to my superior about the offer. He responded positively, we made proposal on that in one day, and now we’re gonna present them to the president of the hospital.

She helps us very much by telling us how to respond in presentation, and what the president really wants in this project. Thanks mbak…we will help you in return if you want to change your subject to human resource psychology. Hehehe… So here I am, keeping my fingers crossed, for this is my first billion worth project in my life. God must have plan behind this, since I really can’t remember her but she really knows me very much. How come?

Then I recall this Alchemist book of Paulo Coelho (boy I love this author very much!), when he wrote that when you really want something, you just pray for that and want that badly, and the nature will help you get what you want. See…
