24

I've always wondered why people say that 24 hours are not enough in a day. I mean, God created a day to be 24 hours, so just accept it already.

But the last few weeks changed my perspective. I suddenly realized that 24 hours is REALLY not enough in a day. I've never been so bogged down with work until it is so overwhelming before. I wish I didn't have to sleep so much and I wish I had another pair of hands and another brain working simultaneously.

Strange as it may seem, I actually like doing what I'm doing (although my employers should never know this). I think I'm mad too, but oh well, we can't explain everything.... I'm learning tonnes and I'm loving that fact. Makes me feel clever hehehe...

One client called me up recently and asked me whether it's all worth it, whether it's worth getting shouted at by clients and people who are not even clients, getting bombarded with tonnes of stuff to do, staying late when there is an ongoing project, getting grilled by employers. He asked me if I had to start all over, whether I will still be practicing law. Without thinking twice, I said yes.

I read about the Singaporean girl who passed away from overworking. Although I will never know what really happened, how hard she really worked, I have decided that however tough work becomes, I will never let it affect my health. Plus, I'm known never to sacrifice much sleep, one of my favourite activities.

I am beginning to see why God placed me where I am. I thank Him for the wisdom He has given me and the people around me who help me along the way. Most of all, I thank Him that there are only 24 hours in a day, a reminder to us that we can only do so much in a day and what we cannot do (although we try our best to), there is always tomorrow. Not a excuse to procrastinate, but an avenue to use the wisdom God gave us.
