"People who behave don't know how to be great, because they don't know how to take risk.."- Christine R. Omar
I started this piece quoting my marketing management professor who recently died of cervical cancer for many reasons. I wanted people to hear what little I know of her, and what I would do not to be just great, but to be remembered just as she would be...
Today marks the beginning of an end. An end to what is known and conventional, and a beginning of a series of uncertainties and adventures. Today, signifies the last of my banking days. Today commence my "unconventional" decision to leave the bank.
Today, I am sad, scared, but happy. Sad because I wont be spending that much time with my friends in the bank anymore. Sad because PBCOM has grown to be a part of who I am. Scared because I don't know what will happen next. Despite the plans and strategies, life most of the time, plays on us. To mold us into better versions of what we already are. And this is why above all the sadness and the feeling of being scared, I am happy. Happy because I deciphered what was there in my heart and in my mind all along. Happy because I was able to act on it. Happy because I jumped!
I don't ask people to approve of my decision. All I ask is for people to try to understand and trust that I know what I am doing. Though at times it seem as if I don't.
Someday, one day, when our roads cross again, I assure everyone that there wont be any "sayang", "sana", and "oh well.."
Someday, one day, when our roads cross again, you will meet an entirely different person.. I will make you proud of me.
