Life slaps hard!

May 31, 2011 Leave a Comment

Much has happened since I left my teaching position in Japan and returned to the UK to find employment. I often find myself wishing I had spent my time more efficiently in the past. After enough wallowing in self-pity I then realise that I may not have been able to reach the position I am in today with all the good things around me. However, although reminiscing over the past may allow me to learn from mistakes it doesn’t help me progress!

I think I am a bit late in realising this but as always, it is better late than never. Did you know that the average person spends more time planning their holidays than they do deciding their choice of employment? Quite an odd fact when you come to think of it. I need to research and communicate to plan my path ahead and then I need the discipline to walk that path. It’s scary when all you have is a dream and a half full head of know-how to achieve it.

Scary. But exciting!

About jingtian
'm a British born Chinese with a deep interest in East Asia. I enjoy relaxing. There is nothing better than being relaxed and being able to plan a whole day or two without any outside influences! However, I also enjoy challenges and am constantly striving to gain new skills and knowledge. I hope to become fluent in Korean, Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese. I consider myself proficient in Japanese! Randomly, I consider it a great honour when I hear that other people call me a "friend".　Awwww! ^_^ You see? Aren't I nice?
