What a frustration , trying to survive in one of the biggest metropolitan. What does it take to stay alive -living in NYC? Argg. The economy is heading downwards and, yet, I am accepting whatever is in front of me. Mom advice was , to survive in this city, first , must sacrificed then rewarding will come in place. Oh, my darling mother, I didn't get an education to suffer my after college life, all i wanted to be a full time perm employee , earning big bucks and giving back to the society. Is that too much to ask for? It's already tough sending our resumes online when human resources aren't going to bother looking at them. Way back then when things were a bit structure and different, unlike today, rules were meant to be followed but in today's society, things are out of control. According to get a foot stepped into the door in any career path, first must know someone to be in the industry we want. So, we must know people to get somewhere in life. That's networking. Networking plays a big part of our lives; it impacts in every single way.
So, what's my survival kit in NYC. Quite frankly, I don't seem to have one. I am unsuccessful on finding the key to my career door. Oh, damn it! where is that stupid key? However, from years of living in NYC then moving away to Buffalo for a short period and returning back home, all I have to say is the luck and chances people see in you. If god loves you, then your life is a miracle, but if god loves you and still work hard and not a single chance of becoming wealthy, just live it up; we still have to do the same thing as any human being would do in their single daily life. We eat, sleep, and work. Our live was made simple by god creation but somehow our philosophy and psychology reform our minds. Some of us are evil and others are naive and stupid. Ha!, I am one of those who are stupid and naive.
how are you?

ReplyDeleteYes I am. Why?
ReplyDeleteWendy,
ReplyDeleteI feel your frustration, but please don't be discouraged. Be more patient and that "key" is on its way. Sometimes, when we have a leap of faith in life, it will reward us in many ways. Stay cheerful!
@ Glow: It's impeccable to not feel frustrated at this moment and century. Everything is so out of control. Time is the worst, we live by the time and frankly, there aren't much time to be patience , waiting for the right time to shine. Argg, I wish i was a bewitched so I get to control wherever is bugging me.
