Yesterday we conducted a run test prior to MAS training. The outcome would be a specific program according to the person's ability. (Test, Train, Test). At the end of the 2.4km run one of my colleagues goes, "well in Matty. You're getting quicker."
I replied, "not quick enough but getting there. Dropped my time by a minute and a half."
Colleague: Don't be too hard. On yourself. It's not often that we see a Fijian running that quick at your age."
I just grinned and told myself. Cut from a different cloth mate. My career in 🇬🇧 projected after doing a fitness instructor course.
The intention is to do the same here. Not just a clip board AAPTI, but to lead and show them that we can also rise to the occasion when presented the opportunity.
This goes to any profession. Dau maleka Ni da Beci tiko me da qai vakagalui ira Ga Ena vua Ni noda cakacaka.
Yes I dropped 2 ranks, gave up 3 years before qualifying for full pension in 🇬🇧. Some say it was a stupid decision moving earlier. I'm an opportunist that believe in 2 things.
God and my work ethic.
