(no subject)
My pending employment in either Businessworld or HSBC got me thinking about one thing. It is this one thing that I think is making it hard for me to find a job that suits me.
If you take a look at my resume, you’d find it hard to pinpoint one thing that I’m really good at. What job can you give a Chinese painting-events planning-visual arts and communications student who used to be a member of an organization who helps cancer stricken children?
My point:
I know a lot of things at the superficial level and have no profound wisdom in anything.
This thought has been a nuisance for quite a long time now. It makes me look back on all the lessons I took as a child that I have taken for granted (i.e. Piano, drawing, painting and even swimming). It brings me back on the randomness I took in choosing my classes in college.
My fault:
I picked out classes that had good schedules, with good teachers and with easy A’s.
And look where that got me now. I’m a heap of bits and pieces of art, management and literature. Add to that a phony know-how in band management and event organizing. Its sad that I know so much but really know too little. I remember a job interview I had a couple of months back where my interviewer said “it seems like you’re accustomed to a lot of different things, you know some things about everything.” I would have said thank you to that compliment, but I didn’t get the job. So I guess that was more of a criticism.
I sought advice from a good friend (my personal life coach) and was told to visit this site. I’m still trying to find a way to be good at just one thing. Or maybe two if chance and time and funds permit me.
All this thinking about my superficiality and my phoniness makes me a very negative person and I’ve made a resolution to be optimistic so I’m turning the tables on my self. Maybe it’s not such a bad thing knowing so little about too many things and not knowing so much about one thing (but the naysayer in me thinks otherwise).
Perhaps a more practical idea would be one that will allow me to think that I am young, and youth is an excuse for all the follies and insecurities one has of life. I have a long way to go and when I get my life rolling the way it needs to roll, I might and will have the chance to do better and be a maestro in the craft that I choose.
All I pray for right now is:
Lord help me.

On a lighter note, I am at this time taking this Chinese herbal weight loss pill that promises to bring down my weight by at least 20lbs in one month. Mommy, who has been trying since time eternal to make me slimmer gave it to me a week ago. This isn’t my first time to try out a fad medicine to lower my weight and I’m still on the “what the heck, try it then” state of mind.
Just wanted to share the selling points of the medicine that I find absolutely hilarious:
Zhen de Shou, different Everyday:
1. On the first day, you will fell rapid heating in your belly
2. at the night of the first day, you will feel fat on eight side of belly is trembling slightly
3. in the morning of the second day you come to water closet and all the wastes converted from fat will be discharged. You will fell that you are relaxed.
4. on the third day, all the deposited fat in the gut and blood vessel will be discharged.
5. on the morning of the fifth day, you will find your face has become vital and beautiful, what a pleasant surprise!
6. on the sixth day you will feel that your whole body has been vitalized by a strong qi in your body. The process of fat decomposition is progressing rapidly. Measuring your waistline, you will find that your waistline has been reduced by 25 cm and your weight has been reduced by 13 kg. Wow, so great!
7. on the tenth day, your weight has been reduced by 2.55 kg Wearing fashionable dress and walking in the street, you will attract eyes of millions of men.
Made me want to think twice about taking the pill….:)
