We are on our last two weeks in this place. There are still things to be done as part of our required outputs. Everyone is busy. I am happy that I am about to finish this training in a few days. With all the obstacles that I was able to get through, with all the problems that come along the way, I am still here and hoping that everything will end successfully. I can’t wait for the day that we will be going home. I miss my family so much and if I only have other option, I would not leave my family under any circumstance. But sad to say that this is the only available job that offer a higher salary in our country. I am already lucky that I was able to get the job despite having a lot of applicants who applied for the same position who are more qualified than me (if I would be the one to assess, he he). So by all means, I have to cope up with any given situation. I have to fight. I know for every problem, there is a solution. I know some days of my stay were really hard for me to sustain, but during all those days, I know you had given me that courage to cope. You made me realized that even how hard life is, there is still a bright light at the end of the tunnel. I owe some of this courage that I have right now, from all of you my dear myLot friends. I would like to say thank you!
Now the end is near… What more can I say?

It is quite an achievement you have earned, ARIES, you should be experiencing a sense of accomplishment. You set out to complete a very difficult training course and you have succeeded. Not to many days from now you will be joining your family again. We respect your diligence and willingness to continue studying through adversity. Mylotters have your back and we are proud to call you friend.

Wow, not much to be said here, you have to do what you have to do. We all don't want to make a hard decision in any circumstance, but we just got no choice. We have to consider what is the best at the moment, and for the future. Sometimes, a little sacrifice just inevitable. It is hard, but we all come out learning something valuable, aren't we. Otherwise, we simply waste our time. I hope that you will finish your program until the end, and be glad.

Wow, the end is near. I think that's a morbid thing for you to say(just joking). Anyway, your post really made me grin but i do admire your work attitude. You remind me of myself 10 years ago.
Back then i was such a workaholic. I work more than 8 hours a day just to beat the deadline. The only thing I can advise to you is to not overwork. After years of work, it will take its toll on you the way it did to me.

I am infected by your positive attitude , as well as your grateful heart. That sounds incentive that you make full use of your time everyday. Your words is a gust of fresh wind blowing into the boring life. I believe that your active life and energetic work will encourage many people from complain to a spirited start. Thanks for your share. Wish you have a good time with your family.

Yes, I agree with you. No pain, no gain. In life, we always have some sacrifices. I also leave my family in my hometown for my job. I only see them on weekends. I have to be brave enough so that I can give their needs. Getting a job nowadays is quite difficult so we have to be thankful with what we got. Congratulations! You've been doing great in your training. I hope you learn a lot from there. Happy mylotting.

I am always hunted by deadlines. During the first week of my assignment, I spent my time lazing away but the when the leadline is getting closer and closer, I usually get tense and worried. At the end of the assignment, I often say to myself that I am not going to laze away anymore but when I have a new assignment, I forget what I promise to do. I still laze away as usual.
