Have I been complacent or have I been living my life? Xx years in this company and I haven't been climbing the corporate ladder. Now I know that I have created an impression that I'm indifferent to getting bigger roles but in reality I was just not given equal chances. It's true that maybe you should know which side your bread is buttered on..When your boss likes you you will be given lots of opportunities and in my case I have never really made an effort to kiss anyone's ass so to speak...When I like you I am genuine in most of my actions. But maybe that's not how it all work.. To be fair, I've also covet promotions. I've been hurt when I've been passed on a promotion, when I didn't get the bonus I was hoping. I was even relocated to another area at some point. And I made the most of it. It was actually one of the most fun times in my life. I've meet some people who has to become permanent in my life- my best friend Sheree and with that I am thankful. Yet I felt unappreciated at work.
And because of that I've created an aura of not giving a fuck.. I go to work, I don't involve myself with office politics and I try to be nice to everyone. And I travel as much as I can. For me life is all about balance. My only regret would be I wasn't issued a US visa. I applied twice. It has something to do with my salary not being enough or the consul think so...And maybe he is right...My girlfriends has got kickass careers - one is a country director for a major mobile company and she will be handling Asia soon. the other one is a political chief of staff of a senator - she would travel the country via a chartered plane, she hobnobs with politicians and celebrities .Do I envy them, a little I know how good they are their strengths and their passions and maybe because I know also that I could write I can be a PR person and maybe given the right training I can do more. But I love them and we support each other in any way we can..they never made me feel like I am a failure...we still travel together and make plans together. Arrgh I'm in this little rut again. But at least a few days back I finally got the certification for the 10 day training we attended for the company - a mini MBA certified by Japan -AOTS. I don't really know if this will help me in any way but the training itself has been a journey of some sort..I've talked about it in one of my previous entry. Anyways my take away if any from all of this is that - Do not bite the hands that feed you and Never burn bridges...
