today i did something noteworthy
and that should be recorded in some place of this huge web called the internet.
4 months into my first job, i tendered my resignation and i'm leaving to join another agency - my agency's fierce competitor actually. leaving the no. 1 for the no. 2 might make no sense to an onlooker, but a close friend of mine told me that if you feel like the environment isn't conducive to you growing your career, then there really is no point in staying.
in the past 4 months i've learnt a lot. i've really enjoyed my stay here, but it's time to move and snag a better opportunity when it comes up. i will always remember this agency for priming me up, but i will never forget that i've taken this huge leap of faith, and for wise words of advice.
i think one key thing i've learnt is that we're no longer in college or school. the workplace is very devoid of personal emotion; it has to be. investing too much time and emotion will only cause you to be tired, worn out and you lose sight of bigger things in life.
having said that, today i went for netball training and a friendly match with a team from SMU. i am a terrible player; hand eye co-ordination is terrible, i have no idea what i'm supposed to do, i'm overstepping rules, everything that could possibly go wrong goes wrong with me. and i could throw in the towel now and be like no, i don't want to do this. but seeing the enthusiasm and the amount of time people are investing in this and in me - that fires me up and makes me want to prove that i can do it. i suck; but everyone starts off somewhere and this is what i need to remind myself every single day. we're not perfect; so i can't expect perfection from myself or from anybody else. i'll try though, and i'll try my best. as my dear friend says 'go hard or go home' and i can't go home.
