Just to reflect.....

Getting a job you truly love to do is definitely not impossible, but chances like that are very, very scarce. But the thing is, it is important to understand that the world is tough out there and we are in no position to be choosy about what job we land. Most importantly, each one of us have to be honest. If you don't like the job, you don't like it. But no one said you should just quit and walk away saying, "this job don't suit me". I'd rather sit tight and try it out. At the end of the day, if you cannot really love what you are doing, no harm trying to like it. Unlike many, I'd rather be honest with myself.

Introducing an interesting blog ~

A really close personal friend of mine is a real estate agent. One of the very few that does what he does because of passion and the liking, unlike many of us who are simply in for the money. He is also one of the very few that decided to take a huge risk and leap into a different field. I keep in touch with him often and it is definitely not easy being a real estate agent.
