I have lost myself

That's one of the worst feelings ever: to try to love your job. My personality doesn't make it any easier. For me it should be "do what you love doing and love what you're doing" instead of just "love what you're doing"...

Thank you for your advice. I do shall adjust my mind. Before I find a new job, I have to work here. So I will try not to hate it. But if I have chance, I will leave here. I can't learn anything everyday. I think I am wasting my life.

Hi Silin, I'm not agree with "Wasting my Life" because that's your fate to take that job and learn something there. Now, you know what.....you have learn something to be more wisely, more patient etc. What you have to do now is enjoy your life, leave your regret, and looking for a new job again.......:) Have Fun!!!

First, we should find another job which is fit for us. And then we resigned from the current job. It's the best way for us. Because we must support ourselves and our family. Fantasy is beautiful while reality is cruel. Good luck!

me too. fantasy makes me happy, although it's not the reality. :)

I love fantasy! :-)

I'm sorry to hear that from you. I hope you can find a job as soon as possible. I will adjust my attitue. one day in the future if i lose my job, i will be more suffered. Good luck.

Mjcookie, I am not sure what the rules or laws are in your country, but here in the United States, you can still earn money if you work for a not for profit organization. The work that I did there was all volunteer work, but if the organization had been able to get enough funding and business to pay for all the equipment and operating costs associated with running it, then eventually I would have been earning a salary. In a not for profit organization, the organization itself does not make any money, but the workers can still get paid, although some volunteering is necessary. With the one that I was working to build, any money that was left over after paying for the daily operations would have gone back into the organization to get new equipment, upgrade the facilities, cover the cost of the individuals that could not afford to pay for the services, and fund grants or scholarships for other endeavors related to the mission of the organization. Silindaxu, I can understand that sometimes we have to make sacrifices and take jobs that we do not like in order to pay the bills. I have had to do that myself, but as soon as I could get a job that I liked better, then I moved on. I was fortunate enough when I quit the job that I mentioned here to not only be financially stable but also have a sound resume with good job experience, so that if it did not work out I would still be in good shape. That sounds funny now given our current financial state (we are scrambling to be able to pay bills each month), but a lot of things have happened since then, and I still do not regret my decision, even though we could be doing extremely well financially if I had not quit.

Thank you for your share. I admire your courage. I quitted my job from the previous company 4 years age. I submitted my resume to a lot of companies. But Because I haven't the relevant experences, they didn't give me the chances to join their companies. I confused what kind of job I could do. And then I went to the language school and stuided the Japanese. I spent 3 months' happy time. At last I had to find a job, no matter I like it or not, because I used up my money. When I recall those days, I don't feel regret. But now, I have to consider my living and then make a decision.

Wow! That's admirable. I also wanna have a job at a non-profit organization because I wanna be a humanitarian or an environmentalist someday, but then our family is too poor so everybody's urging me to pursue nursing or medicine, both of which I don't like. :0(

I'm glad to hear that from you. Now most people have ignored nature instincts. From birth, we begin to plan our future. From the beginning, we must study and then work. At last we are in poor health. Those are our whole life. I am one of tnem some years ago. Suddenly one day, I found I didn't know the real meaning of my life. I think the basic should be happy. My cervical spondylosis is serious, because I have to sit in front of computer all day long. I especially want to find a job I like. I hope you are happy everyday, too.

Now I hope I have good luck to find a good job. I have delivered my resume to some company. But I haven't received the information of interviewing. I believe I have capability to fit for the roles. I only need the chance. I wish everybody good luck at the beginning of the year.

Maybe you really need to find a new job that you really love and that wouldn't cause to worsen your health. :-) Good luck to you. It is very rare to find people like you who want to find a deeper meaning in life.

Thank you very much. Yes, your are right. Chance favors only the prepared mind. I will try to learn more and grasp any chance. Best of luck to you!

Glad to be your frind. You are my first friend in mylot! I just signed up today.

Thank you for your response. I like mylot very much, too. There are a lot of warm-hearted friends who can give me good advices and encouragement. I can learn a lot of thing from them. I wish all of you are happy!

I'm glad to know there are so many people have the same feeling with me. It's proves that i am not too picky to like my job. If you plan to set up your company, it's important that you have stable customers and are familiar with the industry. I hope you have success with your company.

Because I submited my resume to some companies, But I haven't gotten any news from them. I really want to leave the present company and go to another one. But no company gives the chance to me. I have been always diligent. I hope I have a better life day by day. But until now, I haven't a challenging job that I like. I only can't see the hope of my life. If you work and study hard, but you can't get a good chance, how do you think?

It's a good idea. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your apprehension. Best of luck!

Thank you very much. I hope I can have a happy life too.

I have the same feeling. my major is mechanical engineer. As a girl, it's not fit me. i want to work as a buyer, so i can deal with other people and not just face the mechanical parts. Now i try to adjust my mind and find the more sutiable job for me. Good luck for all of us!

Thank you very much. I will do that like you said. If I can't change my current situation, it's no use to complian it all day long.
