Dear Diary – 8 October 2012


Sitting here doing my work and thinking of how much I don’t like what I’m doing. It doesn’t give me the drive to want to wake up in the morning. I don’t regret doing my under grad and b-tech in Public Relations. It gives me many options in terms of the different fields I can tap into. I thought marketing would be fun, but that is not the case for me. I guess it’s meant for certain people who have the passion for it, because I sure don’t. The experience I am gaining is worth it though. It’s never a bad thing to know more.
In all my working experience the one thing I can say I have enjoyed doing is events. I’m quite good at even though it even though it was never my major. There is something about it that fulfils me more than pour PR, marketing and other things that I’ve done. I’m glad that I have been given the opportunities to branch out and look for what it is that I’m passionate about. I have learnt that what you like doing, might not be what you are good at and that you might just be good at something you have never thought of trying.
 
Lets see how things go....

Dear Diary - 2 October 2012


I must say I’ve come a long way. I am not the type of person who keeps quiet when something I don’t agree with is being done. But I was told by people who have been in the working environment for many years that, I will learn to keep quiet at times and just let things slide because of what I stand to lose if I am very vocal. It’s not an easy thing to do, but knowing what I want and what is at stake makes evaluate things and pick my fights accordingly. As long as I don’t do anything that is unethical or against my core values.

As much as I am not a fan of being told what to do, listening to this has helped me in achieving what I want. It’s amazing how some people under estimate the intelligence of others, by acting like they know everything and yet it’s quite the contrary. It’s funny actually. These people build me.
