The power comes from within.

I ran into a few old friends last week, it reminds me of some affairs that happened months and years back. When the affair is over and thing has changed, you could see things without bias or probably be more opened to critics. After all, prejudice embedded in your judgment, it takes time to release the hard feeling.
I’m glad that we all made it and the conversation went well with a wider breadth of mind. From the conversations we had, I found out that we strike a responsive chord in terms of mindset and career move. Both SHEs are struggling with career options; another SHE is more cheerful and pretty now, I bet she has found the right path, I can see the glow in her.
As for myself, I’m moving to different field but not moving too far from the industry I used to deal with.
I need to be more versatile as job required;
I need to be more adaptive as role switched;
I need to multitask as the project involved massive coordination;
I need to handle tedious paperwork and news clipping;
I need to apply what I’ve learnt into daily tasks, I’m referring to copywriting, TV and radio script writing and the most challenging media planning.
I need to keep my eyes closely on production schedule, monitor the TV and radio recording…
It’s tiring and exhausted. Therefore I need to set my mind free once I shut down my computer and go on bed before 12am each day. What a lifeless life.
The self-acclaimed short but smart Tash said, “Your pay is justified by your workload.” I strongly second this and therefore, I need to choose between moderate pay vs “sao gong” when clock ticks 6 or higher pay vs OT 4 days a week like what I’m doing now.
I’m still looking for a better option in career that I could devote 100% passion in it.It’s such a disgrace to yourself when you are doing something you don’t enjoy nor appreciate and make your life so miserable.
When things run counter to your wishes, you might feel disappointed but I do believe that success hinges on own effort. Hopefully, I could spare no effort to grasp the nettle and be more adaptive to new environment.
Strength. I need it.
