Amargoso

Our country is plagued by poverty. As such, many of us are confronted with underemployment and unemployment problems. Malisod maghanap nan trabaho especially that many are now becoming choosy on what type of job they want.

In my hometown, mostly all the new graduates are no longer living there. They somewhat found work in another part of the country or abroad. Actually there was an observation that most of the unemployed kababayan ko are working in the Arab world.

Years ago, I had an observation among my circle of friends that once one felt stressed by their work or are no longer satisfied by their work, they easily change employer, like the way they are changing their outfit. There was one time that an employer had banned jobstreet.com in their office because his company suffered faster employee’s turnover. This is common to workforce in the urban areas while in rural areas, workers fight to teeth to get a regular work.

Many want an easy job with a higher pay. But the many high paying jobs are those who will test your ability exponentially. It may be taxing to a person but it proffers a person a chance to test his limit. There is more growth, professionally or career-wise, in works which requires your initiative and creativity more often.

There is no challenge in a familiar field. This is maybe the reason I accepted my present job. I am no marketing person. Mas nauuna pa yong hiya ko sa akin. But I have to rise above so I can deliver what is expected of me. Uno say mawa sa ako kon dili ako masipog o magpabaga ako nan bayho? I will lose nothing if I muster courage to talk to people. I would get an account instead and that’s an accomplishment personally and professionally. I may be the help they long wanted. There is actually no losing party in the equation.

Only hardworking people get successful in their chosen field because they rise above their limits. Success starts with hardwork. No wonder it’s called hardwork for it isn’t, after all, an easy job. Success breeds another success.

Parehas nan amargoso, you need to eat it more than once to appreciate and love its taste.
