How long...??

Not long...I have been at my job now for going on 12 years and it;s the longest I have ever had a job. Just when I think it's a deadend job..something happens and I see a chance or get a promotion..lol..I have been close to quitting several times but have hel strong..lol. It is one of the higher paying jobs in my area and it would be hard for me to find something that equals it at this time. Sometimes I hate it though. It's very hard work.

This has happened to me...I joined as a marketing manager for a company ion the UAE. It was a new field and new place. I caught hold of a client online..i was so near to get the order...i was following up every single day...i have travelled so mant times to meet him...and it was almost 300miles. I have had so many talks with him...i have revised the quotation 3 times and finally he says that his client does not accept any other party apart form the list they had provided in the contract. I thought that all my months follow ups was a waste....But i learnt something new...it was just a testing phase. Failure is the stepping stone to success.
