Failure

A month before I wrote the blog via the mobile app last night, I applied for a food reviewer job at a web-based company. As far as I remembered, they have at least four sites and one of them is about food. I was very excited back then since I came to appreciation in eating for several months. My girl helped me a lot to prepare and get all required documents ready for the application.

When we arrived there, all I did were filling in the application form and writing a test review for a restaurant. After finishing the test, I sent some of my own writings for the company to see whether I can fit the company or not. When we came out for lunch, I felt I didn’t do the test well enough, but I still wanted to do the job because I want to learn more about being a food critic. I waited for around two weeks and there weren’t any phone calls. So my girl called for the result and … I was rejected…

It really hurt me for a couple of days until I could move on to this stage. Initially, I felt that my works had stayed in the wrong place and time and they didn’t see anything in me. So I nearly called it quits on writing. But after a while I came to realise that I need to move on to another step.

Right now, I STILL KEEP ON WRITING, but not frequently as before since I started drawing and doing some graphics, for example, the profile picture and the recent work father gave me and I still kept working on while coordinating with his office subordinate. Let’s see how far I can go for the graphic design thing.

The story tells me that I can fail, but I need to get up as quickly as possible before the time can harm me.
