Career. Thoughts.

Alot of self-discovery lately.

I'm beginning to see my strengths much clearly. It's a great confidence booster, and I enjoy it.

I often have this problem of belittling myself by upward comparison, and often find myself full of gaps to improve. I know this is a good way to constantly improving myself in all fronts, but it can be very tiring. There are many times I wish I can just take a step back and just be second best, but the desire of doing better than others often push me to continue with what I need to do.

It's always this that made me excel since school days. And this is the same trait that brings me to where I am today, and will continue to do so in my career. The desire to keep evolving and improving also helps to ensure I am not behind the rest.

But then again not that I always want to win. I only want to win in those matters where I strongly believe in. Once the belief and passion sizzles off, I do not care if I'm not the winner - so long as I am not the loser.

Sales experience have taught me many things about life and also provided a great opportunity to me for self-discovery. And I treasure them.

Just recently, I read a comment on Facebook "Some would choose to develop their career at the expense of life experiences". How very true. This will be one thing that I will constantly remember - and keep a good balance.

For now, it's just focus on what I need to achieve this year and keeping my vision clear all the time!
