Considering any possibility and starving to make it true, you shouldn't consider its failure.
Iron will and no chance to lose is a great moto but it doesn't work really well for the kind of person like me for some reason. Therefore here again: it's important not to believe you will never lose again and again (what makes you less and less self-confident with every failure BUT to consider other opportunities. When the first door is closing just before your face, you can try the second. Surprisingly, the first becomes jelous and opens very quickly. That's where you get a chance to choose.
Multitasking is the best thing ever that I could learn thanks to advertising. I had a potential but to develop it properly I needed to come here to learn it. And I'm still learning!
It's not that it had been planned (to learn multitasking in advertising): I've been always doing everything in accordance with my gut feeling and I'm really a fan of it!
So... I've been taught to consider other opportunities. That's another best learning from advertising agency: if something doesn't work, you should find another solution.
But even here you should choose those you love. It's more complicated than to choose any and just to follow whatever to claim you were smart enough to use another opportunity. But if you lose in what you love and choose what you don't love instead - it's not a solution.
That's the second part which normal people hardly get. Being not normal, I've always knew it and that's why I never chose anything I don't like (to have a boyfriend for a boyfriend - though it's not bad just to have a person who cares of you, to work in banking just to have the job - again, stability is not bad!!)
Now in my life I can not say that it's exactly as I'd love to. I'm not that into advertising and I'm even thinking more that it's useless. But having prioritized all my goals and aims, I've clearly understood why I need being here now. And surprisingly...somehow I've admitted that I admire the amazingly experienced people I have a chance to work this. And even more: it's become more interesting and I've caught myself on the thought that I really enjoyed last-minute brief that had to be done in 4 hours: having received a brief from the first, calling second, explaining the third, finding a solution with the 4th person and sending back a proposal to the first.
I hate the offices and the system, hate working 5 days and having 28 days of vacation. That's all true and what I'm doing... BUT I keep travelling thanks to all these efforts.
I hope that one day somehow I would be able to do what I love without doing what I don't. But I haven't reached that level of self-development and self-improvement.
I've realised that my best projects are spontaneous: idea - proposal - plan - implementation (right now and right here). Many people say you have to sleep with idea, to think more and to think of the best implementation, but... I'm more a person of action than of perfect planning. That's true. I can plan and do it quite well but I do NOT love it. I love to implement the ideas maximum in 24 hours.
And... I have to do something with my jumping from thought to thought... :)
So... dreaming of something you should consider and even use other possibilities and do it as quickly as you can. Choosing is more complicated but considering together with the first one is the key. It can be plan B but you should love it too.
