The importance of having a good job pal


In most of the activities you will do throughout your life, you will find a middle group of people you'll have to work with. Many times, I have struggled with persons with that I don't sympathize at all.


In high school, I had the luck of making good friends that still consider very close friends, and I had the fortune to stay in touch with some of them. But sometimes, I have the terrible fate of being in situations I prefer to avoid.


In college, I was cautious; I tried to select the people I wanted to surround myself with, making me more isolated and methodic. But, sometimes, I was fortunate to be in the same place with good people; I made some good friends too.


When I finished college and began working, I realized that the work ambient is utterly different from high school and college. The people there are only focused on their activities, and there is no chance of having a good conversation or thinking about making new friends, there are exceptions, sure, but the most is thus.


But despite that, I've been blessed to have the opportunity to learn about the different jobs I had. On some occasions, I realized the toughness of the adult world and how competitive it is. Still, on other occasions, I had the opportunity to share moments with colleagues I consider my friends. 


These last helped me in moments I was passing in challenging situations and made me feel fortunate to have them and share a workspace and many hours in my life with them. A good ambient is essential because the people surrounding you and yourself are a team; you must improve each other rather than be rivals.


Sharing moments with these people has no price; I learned so much when talking with them and seeing life from another perspective; they taught me more than a couple of years spent inside a library.


For those people who brought me a hand when I needed it. Thanks 💝🌟

Working life has introduced me to a whole spectrum of folks, spanning different ages and backgrounds. It's fascinating how age can influence the dynamics within a group. Back in college, my peers were typically within the same age range as me, roughly 20 to 25. But stepping into the workforce erased that age barrier entirely.  In my interactions, I've noticed some distinct patterns. The younger crowd tends to wear their hearts on their sleeves, valuing ideas and relationships above all else. On the flip side, the older and mid-life crew often prioritize climbing the career ladder and accruing material success. Bosses come in all shapes and ages too. Seasoned veterans bring a calm, empathetic vibe to the table, having seen it all before. On the other hand, the millennial bosses I've encountered can be a bit more... fiery. They're quick to react and slow to forgive, making them a bit of a challenge to work with. Sure, millennials might be shaking things up and spearheadin...

Another trip twelve years later

It has been a while since I finished high school, those were some of the best moments I have ever lived, my high school had a vast surface extension, many buildings and sections, and many classrooms crowded with hundreds of students. There, I studied for almost six years, I met good friends, some love and splendid moments that bring me a smile each time I recall. I never thought I missed my time there, when I was a teenager I swore I'd never turn back my sight to that place, now twelve years later I come back to the place that built me as a person. Last weekend, I had to work as an assistant for the referendum election in my country, as the last time I worked in the same position, I already knew what that job meant. To my surprise, the place was my old high school. I felt a nostalgia mixed with foreignness, I was part of that place for many years, but I felt like a stranger when I came back, many places were stagnant in time. I could visit my first classrooms just to find they were...

Prioritizing my to-do list

Since I started to document and follow my routine, endless things undone have reminded me that I need to make them time because they are also important. This feeling generates a guilty sentiment and anxiety for not giving them enough attention. But how do I prioritize among many significant things? Doing exercise is important, eating healthy too, studying and applying for jobs are equally important, but what receives more attention? what is not essential? This situation of deciding what requires more attention has put me in a challenging situation. Do I need to sacrifice my exercise routine to study more? What if I focus only on one thing at a time? While I worked my English routine decreased, and my motivation to study too, because as I mentioned before I was putting more time into either working or exercising. I thought I would have more time to do many things when I was younger, but the reality was different. Being an adult means you need to put some dreams aside if you want to avoi...
