This Way or That Way?

In my previous post, I mentioned that I've been doing a lot of thinking discernment. A slew of career opportunities have come along and given my age, I should choose wisely. Whilst I'm grateful for all of them, it doesn't help that the choices all present very promising paths.

The question may be summed as follows, do I know live the dream or take up the challenge? Must I begin to Build or once again trail-blaze?

Since college, I've dreamed of being part of this organization. My first application didn't even get me the call from HR. The second time I applied, the director mentioned my lack of experience. Third time's a charm and a paper is on its way this week.

But another organization is putting me up for a challenge. The local market has proven to be saturated for this local giant. Part of its strategy is to conquer the globe and build a global presence. And they need warm bodies to take up this challenge and create the global brand.

On my end, it's a question of building or trail-blazing. The former would enable me to build expertise on a certain area which is the battleground or forefront for most companies in that industry. Further, if ever I decide to migrate it would be easier to get a job given their global reach. The latter would enable me to stretch myself once again in a field that I have little expoosure in. Further, if I decide to stick with them I would be a pioneer and one who can possibly leave a legacy.

So do I follow the dream or take up the challenge? Build or trail-blaze?

Your Number Two

Disclaimer: I've been receiving offline messages through Y!M asking if I'm ok and why the emo posts. I'd like to clarify that this isn't really an emo post but rather a "eh kung ganun talaga post". LOLs

I dislike how cranial I can become when faced with a problem or situation. Ever since, I've been a problem solver who'd look from different angles to try to come up with a solution. I've held this belief that there is more than one way to arrive at the solution. However, this presupposes that there is a solution or that the problem needs to be solved.

Recently, i've been thinking too much. Blame it on opportunities that are coming along (which am thankful for) but moments of thought have also been invested in my so-called lovelife (or lack thereof). I've noticed a pattern on past potential partners - that most are either taken, already have prospects, or strings from the past. This made me think that I may be actually the one with the problem - that I attract those kind of men.

Instead of fixing the problem, I've succumbed to the idea that I might as well just be the kabit and that prudence would prescribe that I abide by these rules... and be your number 2.
