So call me sua ku.

Was at the World Bank Ops meeting this morning and I had a culture shock. The chairman of the meeting was so aggressive and business-minded.

Compared to the meetings I usually attend in church or at YWAM, this was a new thing for me.

Can really see the difference between a profit-driven organization and a God-centred organization's way of doing things. The focus is different (like duh!).
People were just discussing about how to lower cost and increase profts. Scrapping away things that are not profitable or don't make business sense. Being shrewd and aggressive so as not to be taken advantage of. And the tone the chairman used is so... serious. Things like, " I want to see it done by this date" or " you better take care of that". Scary. I mean, yah, this is how the corporate world works. But it's all new to me.

The attitudes are different. The dynamics are different.

Wow. Sorry ah, I'm still in shock.

My very first corporate meeting.
