Dare to fail.

     To be employed in a government agency is okay. If you’re looking for a stable job, it’s okay. Benefits are good; employee association has more power than most in the private institutions. A nice working environment, competitive salaries, well established protocols, seasoned employees, and solid core values. Well, the first two are on selected top agencies but you get the point right? Difference between private and Government Company is stability. Basically, the later is more stable.

     So, in choosing your career path you should be thinking of this too, career growth or stability? It’s difficult to be stuck in your position for five years or so and be happy if you’re looking for career growth. Jobs have its characteristics. Sometimes, when your boss is good, you get to experience work rotations. This way you would know how the whole system works and not just the assigned task for you. It would be quite boring doing the same task until you retire.

     Today there is a career fair within our company, part of a month long celebration of the company’s 60 year anniversary. Honestly, I lost faith in this kind of event/process of getting a promotion or career shift. Happiness for me is not dependent on salary anymore; it’s learning new things and improving. Given the nagging boss, unfair dissemination of work, and unreasonable deadlines; I just focus on the improvement of my skills. I learn to finish my job at once so that I can explore on how to know the company and become better employee.

     I once received an inspiring SMS about a drop of water.” If it fell on a lake, there is no identity. But if it falls on a leaf of lotus, it shines like a pearl.” The message; choose the best place where you would shine. I think this is partly true, it would really feel very exhausting swimming against the current. Being at the wrong place is such a burden, but sometimes focusing on your goal negates the challenge. A seed falls on a rocky plane and grows. Why don’t we.
