If you want my feelings about the response on the CI course applicants, i think i must say i am disappointed.
My good friend says it does not mean no applicant or only one applicant means they are not appreciative or ungrateful. They can bring what they learnt from the unit and make merit for other people when they go to their JCs and so on.
So i was thinking, if that could be true, then what happens to their juniors who will be leaderless?
Good friend brother says the graduands could be wanting recognition.
I was thinking, you mean we still have to invite you to be coming back as a CI when it should be you who should feel grateful to have learnt many things and then wanting to come back and do your part for your juniors?
Last time i was still doing this shameless thing but now, i think i do not want to put myself so low anymore.
There are bound to be successes and failures, some years we train very grateful cadets, sometimes we don't. For the years when we are successful, we are rewarded for cadets who are selfless and sacrifice for the unit. For others, we produce people who want to move on.
Maybe it is not a bad thing. You can say these people are not ungrateful, they just feel they want to move on. It does not mean that they don't feel anything for the unit.
As for myself, i guess it does not really matter. If we have the heart, things will always work themselves out.
If it was really the case of grateful cadets who just wanted to move on, then i must say we are really effective to have produced 24 of them, with only 1 who wants to come back.
And no, i am not being negative about them or harsh on myself as a nurturing officer, but rather just being very opinionated and overly passionate on this place i call my 2nd home.
