Actually it all started in December last year.Praise to Allah I finally manage to get a permanent job and of all the companies I have applied to,went for interview,I ended up in a technology based company,to be more precise,a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner.Imagine that,someone who have been out of a job for quite a long time,have very minimum knowledge about technology,at least from my job managing my own company I do know about IT,but we mainly do hardware.... to be able to work in a technology based company!
Never give up trying and praying..that is what I've been doing,and I thank Allah for this opportunity,for his blessing.Now I have to work hard to prove that I can deliver,have to learn a lot of things along the way.I remember reading somewhere,What you can think of,you can achieve..and I certainly agree.Why?Because if we can think or imagine about something,it is within our reach and capabilities,it is just up to us to try and achieve it.
I started of as a business development executive,that is what I apply for,and that is the position I was offered.But after the first month I realized that I can give much more,at least I thought and believe I can.So after a discussion with my boss,actually it was more a heart to heart talk,he agreed on what I propose.On 2nd January I was officially appointed as the Operation Manager.I have to go through a 3 month probation period,yet only after my first month I've been promoted!That is why I'm saying,if you can think of something,and try to achieve it,you can actually do it.
As human,we seldom fault our self if something goes bad,but we always want to be credited if something good happen.Try to change,sometimes it is good to reflect and learn from the mistake we make.If we can't even admit to our mistake,how are we going to learn from it?
This my 2nd week in my 2nd month working in a new place,but there is so many thing that I have learn,and so many things that I want to do.I pray that I will be given the strength to fulfil all the task and responsibility given to me and at the same time manage to give something extra when and where necessary.
I used to read a lot about Internet Marketing and I still do,in IM,you will always hear the terms,You have to give first before you can ever get anything,and believe me,it is true.So try to give,rather than wait for someone to give you something.
Always believe,always try..never give up.I really thank Allah for what I have now.Other people went into 2009 with uncertainty,some lost their jobs,some lost their businesses,but I got a job,a good job with a good pay after going through a lot of hardship.Life is like a wheel,sometimes you are at the top,sometimes,out of the blue,you come tumbling down.Like what Forrest Gump said..Life is like a box of chocolate,you'll never know what you're goin' to get inside..
Happy New Year..may 2009 ends up brighter than what most people predict..it is just prediction,no one can really tell except ALLAH.
