from winter to spring

this sounds hopelessly narcissistic but

ever since i've arrived in melb.
i think
my moods,or rather my feelings
reflect the weather

i was and i still am gloomy

but today.
after last night's talk with jae
the whole idea of my buddy mumbling some thing
and not really the thing itself....kinda melted the whole gloomfest thing abit.
sounds lame but nothing she said really made me feel better or motivated...
it was more of.....she said something.which means...she listened,processed and made an effort to care,think and give advice.
and now i think.that process cheered me up

i am not forgotten. :)
thank you very much.cindy is like a 5 year old attention seeking child now.
yup
i'm not exactly overjoyed at this realization and neither am i particularly proud of it.
but im glad, that....i found out a cure.
hahahahahahaa frigging optus plans will cheer me up :))))

anyway, i do hope that this less tensed feeling will continue to increase.cause i was too high strung to do ANY FRIGGING WORK yesterdae.
today at elast i typed a paragraph.ONE paragraph.

from winter to spring'

winter came and
almost seemed as though it'll never end.
just as i thought i could not hold out
the brief glimmer of spring revived me
spring's just peeking around the corner

i hope my mood will continue to thaw soon too.

discipline, determination and pride are all you need is what dad used to say.

so with my hope of spring.i cling on to the three as well, now barely but they will grow.Yes.


oh.btw below is what i did for my assignment...i still ahve 4/5th to go.do help me proofread it.its abit jumbled and mumbled.and word of caution, i still need to paraphrase and edit it loads incase of copyright issues
"This paper will begin by discussing the different assumptions “Scientific Management” and Human Relations” makes about workers, it will then explain how each approach suggests managers should do to get the most out of workers and finally it will end off with the implications of each approach for workers and the rationale behind my partiality towards the “Human Relations” approach.

Firstly, “Scientific Management” is largely based on ‘time and motion’ principles with the view that workers are biological machines. Under this school of thought, the ideal worker is one who passively carries out his tasks in the exact order set out by the management.

“Scientific Management” assumes that all workers are classified under the “economic man” principle. Under this principle, financial reward is the principal incentive for workers, with the belief that all workers would react rationally and cooperate with management if they are given financial advantages. (Miller, D., & Form, W. H, 1964, Pg.646). Under this approach, in order to obtain optimum performance from workers, there is only “one single best way”, with the main focus based purely on efficiency. Managers design production processes and jobs as simple as possible and tell workers exactly what is to be done. The work usually entails little or no mental inputs from the workers as it is mostly repetitive tasks.

There are several implications of “Scientific Management”.

The first being; managers would use money as the incentive for workers to reach optimum performance. Secondly, the dehumanizing of work will come into play, as the tasks are repetitive and workers are not expected to give feedback and are not supposed to modify the tasks or the order of the work processes, leading back to the point whereby workers are treated as biological machines. The secondary influence of this implication would be of the “de-skilling” of workers as they are conditioned to the set of repetitive task in a manner assigned by management. They therefore have no opportunity to improve on the processes or absorb other knowledge which they might have should they have been allowed to modify the processes or tasks at hand."

It kinda sucks in a mumblyjumbly way :(
don't you think so?
