Redemption from a so-called Shank- Life: A Melancholy Essay

“It cuts like a knife but it feels so right.”
-Bryan Adams


After graduating from college I spent three months thinking where field should I enter. A highly competitive industry of TV commercial production house which I think I will enjoy a lot or other field that there’s money and at the same time you could easily get into; like Paper Writing Service Corporation. It really takes time to patiently wait for a call especially in a company that really requires a reputable and infamous university or a well-experienced applicant; for me one call is enough to get into their doors; but I failed. It’s unsuccessful because I expect a lot that they will choose me; in which I almost forgot that I’m not just competing to my self but for others, as well, I am one of the thousands fresh communication graduate that aspires to work in media; where they need only one or two persons to get hired. At that moment, I am an optimist, I always think positive. But as the time goes by, I realized that I almost waste almost hundred days of my life in vigorously waiting for a phone call from the path that I want to work with. A good assumption always comes to an end, really happened; and for this case I have to be pessimist; I don’t want to think positive. Being an optimist, you have to think on the bright result but the consequence is depressing. Negative thoughts also help in a way of thinking. It makes me to be prepared and to formulate hypothesis. like writing an academic research paper. There’s always a Plan B; an alternative to an affirmative decision. Now, I am always make query and react with the “what if” statement; I think that would be the greatest lesson I have learn after our college commencement exercise.

A good read, Megan. I still want to hear about the shank — how about some more?

I'm old school- if it's to be it's up to me....plus I come from sales where each "no" puts me one closer to the "yes."

I also subscribe to the Luck Principle- "Opportunity meeting preparedness."
