RE: What Could I Have Done?

in #life7 years ago

Life can have some very interesting ups and downs. I made some major league mistakes in my past, and some of them have flow on costs. Others, however, have had minimal effects.

Sometimes the greatest thing you can do for your life, is to put your own needs first. I lost a job for doing my job. I am currently unemployed and there are a million things that I could have done to make employing me easier, but on the other side of things I learned the true nature of people who work in job centres (and it's appalling).

Clearly, you wouldn't have had this job if you were still employed elsewhere. I read a book once that basically said the most successful people in life are the ones who have a zero threshold for bullshit.

I've seen it happen where a woman came into where I was working and with 2 hours she had decided to quit (because she was being spoken down to and disrespected). To some, it would appear immature, but to me I saw it as someone who knows what she wanted and decided very quickly that she'd rather be unemployed than work in a hostile environment.
