Acronyms

9 years ago, CSM was Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing for me.

9 years later, today, CSM is Communication, Social Reinforcement, Modeling; the 3 elements of a Helping Relationship.

3 years ago was a struggle when I first started my course in Social Work. To begin, I do not think that my English is strong. When I read the textbooks, I had to have my Oxford dictionary beside me. (Sometimes, it's beside my bed!) Secondly, there were so many alien terms!!!!!!!! *sigh*... Nobody talk about Paradigm Shift in the Engineering world you know?

The different lingo for different profession. Each time we move from one company to another or one job scope to another, we learn new lingo. Honestly, it's always tough for me. As much as I welcome change once in a while in my life, I do struggle with changes too.
