my career path
Posted 23 May 2007 // 11:46 pm
Have you people ever sit and think.."What is the purpose of my life?" For me, my answer is to be successful. How to be successful? Start from 'below'. Learn from mistakes. Learn how to think like a winner. Think like one, act like one. Yes, the career i am in right now is a tough route. why i choose to go this route? simply because i want to be different. i dont want to do what normal people do. I used to have this thinking back then.. ..that my life has to be..ok..go to school, study hard, get good grades, perfect certs. The higher the qualification, the better. Thereafter, i will get a good job and good pay. So, good life. That's it. This is what normal people do in life. I am not saying it is wrong but what i am trying to say is there are another alternatives to a more meaningful life. You want a steady paycheck and working for people throughout your life till the day you retire? OR You want your income to keep on increasing but people are working for you and you can retire early but still, your assets keep growing? I opt for the 2nd. This is what my current career is about. Many dont understand me. Many thought i am crazy. Not many is supportive of me. Even my own close friends, arent there to give me the support that i need. Worst still, my own parents told me to quit. Do you know that to be in this career, you have to face many obstacles..rejections..scoldings..and many negative things..in order to succeed. "So many negative, still insist on working?"..Is that what you people might be thinking right now? hah! Yes..i still do. I am a challenging person, outgoing. I like to try new things and i dont like a desk-borned job. I prefer a job that let me meet people, learn the 'outside world' and be realistic. For me now, its no longer the time to play around or just dreaming away without immediate actions. I am not working just to get certain amount of $$$ at the end of the month but instead i am working towards getting a 5k income or more. At such a young age of 19. You may think, 5k is impossible for me to earn. But, i believe in myself and that is what i am working for. Opportunities dont come by easily. Ive met real people at my age who earn that sum. If they can do it, why not me. Being in this trade, you dont need high qualification, you dont need to be intelligent. You just have to have this 'will' to learn. I have good leaders who keep me motivated. My two boss are the best individuals that ive ever met. They dont have education, the big boss have only 1 O'level, the lady boss, did not finish ITE education. But, they make it! Earning a big sum of income now. Work for wealth, not for money. I can say, the people who support me, who motivate me, who believe in me are all I get so many rejections and excuses from people i put my hopes on. I feel disappointed, disheartened, sad..mixed feelings. But, never did once i told myself, "i give up". I had the worst experience among all the fresh people at work. My own boss even told me that maybe my luck is just so 'suay'. Hehe! God is testing me. But that does not stop me from moving on.. I love what i am doing. I see my future in this career. I promise i will make it, i can! |
