Trust and Respect

Google defines trust as firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.  Consciously or unconsciously, most of us move and work based on our trust. If we trust a guide or a direction, we move, and we work. Hence, a doubt can be the source of a stop, a pause, or even a static condition.  If we compare it to a machine, trust is the oil that affects the smoothness of the machine's movement and its working performance. The challenge is that trust cannot easily be bought in minimarkets or random automotive tenants it should be earned genuinely.  You cannot force people to trust you. One should show their ability, achievement, action, manner, and any other physical movement that can work as proof to earn people's trust. That is why it is so magical, at least for me, when someone trusts me so much over something important in the professional world.  Based on my observation, once trust is earned, one can get the bigger price, with almost the same va

the first quarter

Surrounded by the glittering city light, I welcomed and officially entered the next quarter phase in my life. As funny as unexpected it has always been, today I am still the same as I was last year, even the location I am in is nearly the same as the place I was in last year when I welcomed the pre-quarter.

As similar as it could be, sad tears, disappointment, loss of hope, anger, hatred, joy, and even happiness all came together and completed my roller coaster ride. All kinds of emotions and experiences sticked together, turning the old me becoming a (hopefully) better me. I hope all wounds will eventually heal over time. I hope all of them will not leave any marks that only leave out memories that should not be remembered. I hope the stain in the cloth will enhance and complete the composition of its pattern. I hope, unli

Pause! A 2-year reconciliation with one’s self

They are running, while I can only walk. I had to re-orient my future plan 2 years ago. The long-term dream of working in the same line as my hobby was all broken into pieces as soon as I decided to leave the job I had. Jealousy ate all my thoughts as I found out most people around me already landed on their first job, while I felt like I have to go a long way back to square one: re-orient my plan. The first few months of re-entering the world I would not believe I truly have entered again was hard. The fact that I have to move slower than others was devastating. While I know for sure all those updates on social media were only intended to share one’s story of the day, with no intention to show off, I got myself in a cage of hatred, anger, and jealousy. I hate myself for not making it look as cool as others, making money, being independent financially, being a career woman, running a business smoothly, and many more. I hate myself for once again having to be trapped with the same is
