Whew! Really. Time flies. I can’t help but reminisce the days where I have to prepare my best shot and my best answer to all those probing questions as to me being the perfect man for their job. I remember being depressed and sad on the times that methinks is not my best effort to convince them that I’m the one they’re looking for.
Two months. Dalawang buwan. So far so good. It may not be the best but as long as I’m comfortable working and my teeny-weeny expectations being met - I’m all for it. At least compared to the… Never mind.
Haaay… Though hindi ganoon kadali ang work, I am somewhat pleased and satisfied with what I do. Kumbaga, enjoy lang sa pagtrabaho. No need to stress things out. I got to know new friends and learn new things in the process. It feels good that each of you has a role to fulfill inside the office. And each of you are willing to help each other to the best of your knowledge and capability.
And like what I’ve said a while ago. Nami-meet naman ang mga expectations ko lalo na in terms of working environment. Though hindi siya big company, at least alam naman ng management how to please their employees even in little ways.
Sometimes, I can’t help but ponder - Is it really important that you’re working on a large, multinational, Fortune 500 Company? Do names, brands, connections matter ba talaga? At first, medyo important sakin yun. Siyempre, all of us want to be associated with a big company. "Ako? Nagwowork ako sa Accenture" "Ako, sa HP ako nagwowork" "Ako naman sa Fujitsu." It’s not that I’m sour-graping and all, lalo na sa second company na namention ko. Rather, makikita mo ba talaga ang comfort and satisfaction sa mga big-name companies na yan? Or are we putting ourselves in greater risk of having sleepless nights and stretched out minds trying to cope with the sometimes next-to-impossible deadlines? That I don’t know. Maybe kanya-kanya siguro tayo ng perspective when it comes to that.
But for me. Siguro eto na lang ang maxim ko: You don’t need to thrust yourself into a big-profile company just to get the nirvana of working. As long as the environment’s okay with me, my co-workers and all - Then that’s it. Okay na ako.
Pero hindi ko naman sinabing magsettle tayo sa ganyan lang. Continue thriving for the best. It’s like this - Pag dinala tayo ng hardwork and perseverance sa isang magandang lugar - eh di accept it. Else, eh di deal with it. Accept it wholeheartedly. So pag nakita mo na thru your perseverance and hardwork, eh napupunta ka na sa isang Fortune 500 company. Eh di why not di ba? Pero don’t be discouraged or saddened kung hindi ka umabot. Be contented. At least may job ka in tune with your degree.
Haay… Andami talagang nagagawa sa tao ng dalawang buwan. Ang wish ko lang eh I have the power and the perseverance to pursue even more greater heights and have the capability to share it with others. Sana itong bagong job ko of two months eh it would make that wish into a reality. Kung hindi eh at least mailapit man lang ako sa state na yun.
*French for two months.
