The past few events that happened just solidified the fact that I may not be cut out for the Corporate World. I’m not being optimistic but evidently I am not so lucky when it comes to job related issues. I remember my first “job failure” when I got my first job rejection right after college. After a series of job rejections and rejected job offers, fast forward to the present time and here I am still reeling in resentment of being at point A when all I want to be is at point B. I don’t necessarily equate giving up as a sign of weakness. In fact, when all odds are against you and there is no way of succeeding without trampling on other people and there is no other option but to give up, is sometimes a courageous thing to do. (I remember listening to Tommy Osmeña once when he was invited to talk in one of my MBA class. He said, one should always strive to be number 1. In fact, he said, the adage “It’s not about winning, it’s how you play the game” is a total bull. Well I say, Tommy O is one big piece of bull and all he said are crap.) Anyway, I guess now is the best time to re-asses what I really want to do career-wise.
I have a friend who is currently “soul-searching”, albeit expensively, in Lucca Italy. She abhors the corporate world when it is apparent that she is cut out for it. I on the other hand am currently pushing myself to do well in the corporate well when it is now obvious that I maybe not cut out for it. Dilemma!
I wish when we were born we came from a special template or molding that molds us to be what we really are cut out to be.
