wow it has been just over 2.5 years since i completed my bachelors degree.
since i left australia. since i arrived in the uk. since i decided i would give
it everything i have got.
the first job, that was interesting, what an amazing, amazing experience, i have
loved every second. but did the degree really prepare me for what was next...
in all honesty, no...no it did not! there are very few times were i was able
to put back-in practically what i had learnt without it taking too much time.
learning so much on the job made me resilient and tough against the idea that i
might or might not succeed.
i guess it will be the next job that will define what is next, how i have
progressed, what i have learnt.
the degree certainly taught me how to learn, how to think and how to ask
questions. what the job taught me is, how to work, how to behave and more
importantly how to succeed.
my first 2 years in the real world...the real working environment has been a
huge learning curve, there has been ups...and downs and a journey worth
celebrating due to the people i have met and the projects i have
completed.
i am stronger for studying, but is work all it is cracked to be...perhaps...i
know work is not meant to define you, but i want to love what i do, i want to
be passionate about who i am and what i believe in and i want to make the world
a better place because of it.
my next role will be that, i will have more courage, more conviction and
will bring a greater understanding of what “my” success looks like with an
implementation strategy that will change the course of history!
(well maybe not quite just yet, but maybe it could do at some point...)
so the degree is over…so then comes the first job…so the first job is over…so
then comes…
passion, excitement and reward!
