Time is an ingredient.
No matter how good a batter you made, if you don't put it in the oven long enough, the cake will not turn out beautifully.
Such is life. Some things take time, many good things take time.
Like a cake, sometimes you just need to enjoy and accept the heat, let it build and raise you, with time you will turn out beautifully.
You just gotta believe you have the right ingredients in you, and you make the right kind of batter and that you're destined to be a good cake.
Many times, maturity comes with experience, and experience takes time to build up. As much as I would like to rush things, it's just not possible.
People can only learn so much each day, but sleep, time and enough exposure consolidates things together.
In an organisation, people with experience have a certain edge as they have seen more and been through more incidents specific to that organisation.
However, as much as time is a necessary ingredient, there are always ways to speed things up.
You can work hard, it helps if you are a fast learner. You can absorb as fast as you can, hopefully in a short time, with experience, you'll be at the same destination as people with experience, who may not have tried and pushed themselves as hard.

What should I write?
I often have thoughts and have so much inspiration for things to write, but I must admit the hardest part is pushing myself to start.
If I do not start, nothing will be achieved. The beginning is always the hardest, it's true.
It's November 2014. Things have changed so much since last year, so much has happened.
A year ago, I never thought I'd be here in New Zealand still. This would be the wildest of my wildest dreams. About to complete my degree. I was torn between staying in NZ and going back to Malaysia/Singapore.
I wanted to stay, but I didn't know how, and there were not enough reasons for me to stay.
I applied for many jobs to no avail. I thought I had a management trainee job in the bag but I did not, and I was very disappointed.
And then along came Byron. 25th of November 2013.
I never knew what love is until I met him.
As corny as it may sound, I never thought there'd be someone as perfect for me as him.
Carrying only a luggage, a backpack and love and support from my loved ones, I returned to New Zealand in January, Byron picked me up from the airport. I felt so much freedom as soon as I saw him waiting for me at the arrivals.
Despite the uncertainty, it was very exciting to have the opportunity to carve out a future for ourselves.
We didn't have much, but we had each other.
Soon after, Byron got a job, then I got a job. We moved into a room together, and then to our own apartment. We got Jax our cat. We met each other's families. We went through many ups and downs together and we have slowly but surely started establishing our lives together.
Looking back, things do happen for a reason. You never really know what one thing can lead to. An event might seem bad at that time and devastate you, but it might be just that event that turns your life around to something amazing.
If I had secured that management trainee job, I would not have went online, I would not have met Byron. I would be focused on going back to Malaysia and it would be just that.
I know, for a fact, that that is not I want. I will not have enjoyed living in Kuala Lumpur.
The main thing is, I would be without Byron.
There are still many things that I am working towards and would like to achieve. I like to believe that I am slowly getting there. The future is exciting.
