Im sitting in a room attending a seminar on technical matters that concerns my profession. I was hoping I can learn something new, although my main reason of attending is compliance to the continuing education mandated by our government regulatory body.
When you know the things being discussed because you do it everyday , what would you feel? It could be a very boring day, but I discovered something that I can do and enjoy the day . I sit infront , look straight to the speaker pretending to be attentive but with my mind shut off to the topic being discussed . My mind wander to my favorite things like swimming in a turquoise water in El Nido , climbing the 700 steps in Mt Tapyas in Coron, eating to my hearts content in a buffet in Portugese restaurant , enjoying the tricks of magicians in Macau, price haggling in the night market in Hongkong , watching sunset at Boracay, island hopping in Caramoan. eating street food in Seoul. oh Ive been to many places in a matter of 8 hrs , and Then I heard the speaker say “thank you for attending the seminar I hope you learned something new. ” What !! Im doing it for more than a decade
This is the result when some government regulation like renewal of a professional license requires so many numbers of training hours , ill grab every seminars available to meet the 80 hrs even if the topic is my daily routine in the office. Anyway it is a nice feeling to daydream in the midst of many people..am happy to find a new escape…daydreaming
