Have you ever felt that there is a “missing piece” in your life? The one piece of the puzzle that is a specific “something” that you hope to achieve.
It’s nothing vague like “I WANT MOAR MONEY!”. It’s nothing big like “WHERE IS MY MR. PERFECT?!”
It’s just a small little piece that is so hard to find, so hard to adjust and twist it around, but it’s so important that once achieved, it’ll complete “something” in your life?
I have 2 missing puzzles when it comes to my career.
1. The frigging degree. If only I had one now, I would be moving on to do something else. Not that I hate my job, but I would really like to try my hand at something else. Like marketing communications, or teaching.
I can’t possibly start right from the bottom, so the degree and my previous related experience can help me halfway up. Somehow. But it’s just so daunting to embark on a part-time course again.
2. The frigging award. All of my peers have one. And they get the respect they need. I don’t have one. Although most of the peers also give me the same level of respect, but I don’t feel it coming from the superiors. Somehow, I am always one-level lower.
Never mind if my work is consistently better than another. Never mind if I do have good works once in a while, just like the others. But because I simply do not have the luck, I do not have the award and I do not get the kind of respect I think I deserve.
With these 2 missing pieces in place, life could be much better for me.
One is achievable. The other? I guess not.
