Somehow I still can’t believe that tomorrow is my last day in the company. Mixed feelings. For those readers who may not know what my work is, I am a project executive in an office furniture company. It is field work and I travel a lot everyday from this site to another site. Basically my job is to plan and monitor project installations. Since it’s a typical china man company, all things are one leg kicking. Sometimes you just can’t believe the volume of the workload. The pressure is enormous. There’s no system.

Screw-ups happens everyday, so are Tai-Chis and Scolding. The freaking workloads accompany by all these shits indeed made me into a far better man. My director once said: This is an army boot camp; you survive here 3 years, nothing can take you down next time. Even my manager commented: This is no work, this is a war! No wonder sales manager in the company like to call me good soldier. Everyday from 9 to 9, rest for Saturdays and Sunday is an option. Long working hours had challenged me both physically and mentally. I survived that too.

I learned a lot during the process. I get to deal with all types of peoples, tried things i never done before, get access to places I never dreamt of. It was a fantastic journey. I loved and I hated my job. I truly believe that screw-ups made a man a better man. Leaders are not born naturally; they are made of steel and blood. They endured pain and suffer, took risks and pressure, sometimes with a little bit of luck.

My company’s sister company at Singapore has a vacancy for project executive, should I take it? Leave my comfort zone and take up this challenge? I am still considering it…but I think I will try; I would like to see how far I can go. Btw, thanks for everything, my colleagues, you guys had been a good mentor all the way.
