sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
What I am about to say is probably going to upset some readers, but truth must be voiced. Being an immigrant who went through the loop of becoming a lawful citizen.... I came to USA over 25 years ago... at the time I had discovered that native people were less motivated to work, instead they complained a ton about life being unfair. Coming from a country of lesser opportunities, I wasted not time complaining. I took the jobs, I did them better than well. I wasn't afraid to work more than an average employee, I didn't care about schedules or unpaid hours, I did my job best. I grew, I got promoted quickly. I have been since in shock about how much people are willing to b*tch and whine while missing out on the opportunities.
Bath to the present day. Having the money I have now, I will hire the motivated and eager to work people in lieu of these who give high pitch sale speeches with big promises for a lot more money.
