Motivation August 15, 2008

Rejection has become more difficult to swallow with age and experience.
I really have to be very motivated in finding a job and making miracle happen.
The economy is just very bad and hiring freeze is everywhere.
I’ve been talking to a few more places recently and timing is not right.
Knowing that if I have no limitation on visa or experience in this country,
I would probably stand a much better chance getting a job in such a bad timing.
It’s sad to go into interviews knowing that the chance is remote and slim.
And you just have to tough it up and keep going.
Try to not think about how I would not have to subject myself to go through these rejections,
if I have made a different decision about where I want to be in life.
But hey, motivation is a life-long lesson.
And to master it would bring me success.
Have to stay positive and tell myself to be persistent and stay motivated.
Without motivation to improve, there is no reason to be.
 
So I picked up another hobby to pamper myself.
I’ve started to make jewelry and hoping that I can sell some to fund my hobby.
At least there is instant satisfaction. Like knitting.
Except I don’t think it would be as easy for me to sell my knitted pieces.
Maybe I’ll post some pics of my work soon.
If you like it, let me know.
 
Stay tuned.
 
 
 

Knitting August 2, 2008

So finally, I picked up knitting again.
 
There is something about arts and crafts that makes people happy.
In our lives where results doesn’t come immediately after a long time of cultivation,
little projects of making accessories, knitting or crochet gives us instant gratification.
And what better things to do during weekends with colorful beads, yarns and felt to cheer a girl up?
When I am knitting, my mind clears of all nasty memories of the week.
My mind is focused at creating with patterns and my eyes feast on beautiful colors and textures.
My ears are busy with food network on TV.
Life is simple and delightful.
