contributin to society..
so i guess my diary diligence has been lackin since i started back at work. ill tell ya, i was pretty tired the first two days--and i didnt even do much cuz it was all a general hospital orientation. but i think gettin up early had more to do w/ my tiredness..
today was my first real day of work. and, as i remember how things were on my previous first days, not much was different. overwhelmed w/ knowledge. open-eyed to all the going-ons. and somewut concerned over my abilities..
but wut i realized prior to headin into this 'first day' was that no matter how unsure of myself id be at times today--whether or not i could really do and exceed the good job i was hired to do--i had some confidence in my steps. because i remembered wut ive done in the past and how well i (think) performed. i recalled my seemingly small yet not-so-trivial-to-me successes. and that made all the difference..
cuz like mj said, confidence comes from havin succeeded in that situation before. course, he was referrin to game/championship-winnin shots on the court but i can extract. my comfort level w/ the new and unfamiliar was higher because ive been there before and (i hate that i keep usin this word) succeeded. and isnt that all confidence is? bein comfortable..

i wouldn't quote mj like that. i think he's got a speech/interview writer who tells him to say these deep things generals or presidents would say
