Heard from 5 friends that they were discontented with their jobs- are seriously contemplating to quit.
3 of them, for sure, will be joining me at the Club of the Unwaged, soon before the end of this year.
How sad. Most of us practically have the identical reasons behind that unavoidable decision.
Lack of drive to work for someone who fails to recognize the value in you.
The Lack of Appreciation.

My friend confided in me last night. About how he was affected by his girlfriend’s parents’ biased opinions of him- To them, he is not good enough for their daughter. He can’t possibly provide for her comfort in the future.

He was deeply disturbed by the cruel criticisms - to the extent of slipping into depression. Think he had lost nights of sleep over the fact that someone has pined him down because of his scholar qualifications. Despite the tedious efforts he had put in all these years… To become who he is now.

I can understand how he feels. Totally.

I told him that why should he be bothered with a man’s opinion, that is solely based on his own reserved. narrow PERCEPTIONS?

I have always believed in him, recognize the goodness in him- so... why is he harping on the criticisms that comes from a man… where there’s tons of people who trusted and admired him?

Then I paused.

Am I taking my own advice as well???

Apparently, I am so not. Darn… I resent the fact that I have been slogging for the company yet my hard work is not being recognized. Ridiculously lame excuses like - I looked too YOUNG to be trusted… drove me mad. The excuses are so hurtful that I thought I would never, ever recovered from this self-esteem breaker…

Well.. till I heard myself telling to my friend:
“Why should you be bothered with 1 negative perception where you have 100 positive ones of you?”

So.. Why the heck should i care about what she thinks about me?

Have drafted my resignation letter…all ready for action tomorrow.

Am looking forward December to come. Can’t wait for the KL trip with Jasmine and Ally. Can’t wait for the family Christmas celebration. Can’t wait to work on my…..

Ssshhhh……… Secret mission in process… : )
