TAKE CARE and GOOD LUCK..Originally posted by DeadPoet:I think some of you are aware that I am having some problems with my personal life. In fact it isnÂ’t just about one problem but a few problems and one of them is regarding my career.
The fact is IÂ’ve been unemployed for almost a year. I canÂ’t remember how many application letters and resumes I have sent out. Although it is getting more difficult for me to stay positive after going through one rejection after another, but I am determine to hang on. Luckily things are looking brighter now.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank all my friends here for your supports and concerns. It has been a tough ride but I am glad that you guys are here with me.
Thanks.

Can I do something about the situation? If can, great, if cannot since I canÂ’t do anything about it now, leave it aside. If the situation is really that bad, do I have any choices? Yes, either you stay positive and fight on or give up and be miserable. Is my conscience clear? If yes, then there is nothing to be afraid, if not admit you are wrong and change.
I have lost counts on the number of times I broke down and cried for no reasons or stared at the ceiling in the middle of the night unable to sleep. To be honest it is very difficult to stay positive, but somehow life must goes on. -

DP,
Hope things are improving for you. And as for rejections, I get them all the time (life as a writer sometimes sucks monkey balls), so my heart goes out to you. The upside of things, though, is that rejections usually let you know where you're lacking, and where to apply yourself in the future... afterall, self-improvement is a cornerstone of progress.
Here's a suggestion -- why not freelance for a bit? It gives you ample chances to test-drive the industries you're interested in, and you can always ask to be converted full-time later if the employers are appreciative of your work. -

No thanks. I am quite happy with MPC.Originally posted by Owl^: -

Things are indeed looking positive. I totally agree with what youÂ’ve said. After going through so many rejections I have a better understanding of my strengths and especially my weakness. I realize how vulnerable I am. It forces me to look at my situation from a different perspective.
At the same time I am more determine to achieve my goals in life.
By the way I really like your “sucks monkey balls” expression. -

Take care my friend.
At the 'extremes' of your life, try to write some extreme poems...? It'll be really something quite difficult... And maybe when you look back at them years down the line... You'll just learn to appreciate your life much better...? -
Lol, I patented the expression! it's all mine, mine, MINE!Originally posted by DeadPoet:By the way I really like your “sucks monkey balls” expression.
There's also huge-ass balls and granola balls. But monkey balls will always remain a staunch favourite of mine. -

I had a few very low periods in my life. Guess this is just one of them. By the way, when I am depress, I can't write poem.Originally posted by Devil1976:......

I would say it's survival skills in the corporate and business world. It's just a tool. It's how u use it.Originally posted by DeadPoet:What exactly is that book about? Management skills?
My mentor mentioned that amount others, there are 2 part about succeeding in the corporate world. 1. protecting yourself and 2. winning others.
One need to know the techniques employed by the "Evil", in order to protect yourself, and out-manuveur them.
The shield and a spear. The shield is the ability to cast any self-doubt aside. The spear is the ability to take action without regard to how its consequences affect others. It is Ruthless.
For me it's not easy to understand. Got some chim chim methphors
