Life can be so tricky!
If you don’t know how to play the games of life, you will always be longing for more and the impossible which equivalents to ending up unsatisfied and frustrated. You just want to get all of what you can get albeit having a handful already. Oftentimes, breaking the rules. Endlessly competing with yourself and/or others. Goal of being on top and having authority that you believe will give you the recognition you’ve been longing to obtain not only from your colleagues/friends but also from your family who’s been expecting way too much from you. And you believe this is the best way to prove yourself to these people because they’ve been thinking that you haven’t done anything good all your life.
Think again.

Night before my first day at work, I got an SMS from a former officemate and said Mr. RDV (ex-Country Manager of HP) has been looking for me to work with/for him. Another IT company.
Today, (my 2nd day of work) another call came. It was from IBM, a company I’ve dreamed of working right after graduation. Tempting it is!
I chose to give more importance to my values, my credibility, my word. I’m always careful with the choices I make. I both use my head and heart in any big decision in my life. I don't go for half-baked decisions. It has always to be 100% sure!
Honestly, it’s hard to ignore things coming my way now but Mr. DBA (our president) gave his full trust and confidence on me. I don’t want to break it. My values are intact. I don’t want to be blinded with money. They’re treating me very well. They don’t deserve someone who will just drop them like a hot potato. I’m happy to be working with them.
