I've taken time lately to study TOEFL, planned to take the test in the next June but it seems hard to be confident before June. Anyway, trying my best to complete it. And because of focusing on TOEFL, I left this blog dusty for a rather long time. Will update it at least once a week for my future book target.
I like to talk to people to find new ideas for my life. The conversations recently have brought me the thought that in order to succeed, you gotta be expert in your field. And you can never be expert in a field if you don't love it. There is also a proverb: "Find the job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life." The problem is, do you know wht is the job that you really love? When asking people from other cultures the question: "Do you like your job?", I always see the bright light in their eyes: "Yes, of course, so much." But if they asked me the same question, I'd answer: "Well, I don't know, in fact, I have no idea about wht's so called the job I love." And it's not only me who's not sure abt what job I really like.
That brings me to the idea that whether there is a hole in Vnese education, students don't know what is their strength, wht is their passion. They just choose the universities that are trendy after high school, and just pick up the job that they think will get a lot of money, or worse, whtever job that come in hand, without knowing that the first job will determine their careers afterward, just like me.
Now I'm still wavering on my career, continue in supply chain or turn to another field and start from the 1st step. But there is one thing that I'm sure, I don't wanna be a purchaser for a life time. So, I'm still on the way to figure out what I really love. To give my full passion and energy for it, to become an expert, then be successful. Sometimes I imagine, if somebody ask me abt my job, I would be happy and proud to say that I'm a writer, or I'm an editor. Writing is an easy and aspiring job for me to do, I feel achieved and satisfied after writing an articles, after expressing the emotion passionately by the words as I expected. But it's only when I have the inspiration. However, I think now I can't live with my writing, I gotta do other job to earn my living. I'm dreaming that one day I can have somebody to lean on, and just spend the day to write things, and get a little money on it. I don't need much money anyway. But it will be nicer to be a professional as well as a writer like Ngo Thi Giang Uyen or Duong Thuy. They are the model of women that I'm moving toward. So now my targets: TOEFL/ NEW JOB THAT I LOVE/ ONE ENTRY EACH WEEK. Expected to be finished within August.
I've found a job on April as I planned. Now searching to have the job that I love within May or June. End this article with the statement from Julie Andrew that I heard yesterday on CNN: "The chances will come when you least expect it. So do your homework, be prepared for it. You'll succeed." Many chances passed by my life just because I was not ready to catch them. Won't I let it go like this for the rest of my life? Get ready, Rosie.
