My Trip last Saturday
I had intended to visit SH last Friday, but as mom was sick with cold seriously, I decided to take mom to local hospital for a physical exam first. And that day I had delayed my plan by a day later.
I was making a difficult decision that I had really been interested in the BarCamp Spring 2013 event, however, I decided to split it into two parts. I visited German center in the morning and moved to Jiatong Univ for a lean salon in the afternoon. Yep, I had many questions bearing in my mind about career and manufacturing.
I think firstly, I came to realize that the uncle was right. The government and non-profit organization experience seems really weak applying for a manufacturing field, like QC, or supply chain management. Uncle used to suggested to erase the gov.nt experience, and replaced by some quality intern in the factory. I passed it because all (most) friends around me believes in working right and doing right things. I thought I still have chance and choice to work right at that moment. In this case, I lost support from an experienced senior staff working in several international companies before. As much as Uncle was right, I still don't have to follow him before making my decision.
In the past 7 months, I had made maybe 5 major wrong decisions, all of which contribute to my current embarrassing situation.
After National Holiday, I went back from BBF and started to learn about myself. I was told that my strengths may lie in pr and communication field. I cannot decide it back to that time because my dream was to become an engineer. It was not specified what kind of an engineer would be, but maybe sort of design new things. Time flied fast, and I missed a chance writing to ni hr about technical translator/writer opportunity. A technical writer could lead to the career of product engineer or at least, technical writer can contribute to the update/innovation of a new product. That's cool. It was hesitation that I missed the opportunity and did not try my best to catch it.
And when it came to Oct.26, I had submitted my work to Ogilvy quickly just before deadline. I had challenged the competition rule by designing my work in terms of mindmap instead of ppt. so... ... Octorber had a lot of work in TM that I just cannot stop, and as well as gov.t work in natural gas inspecting. I didn't manage my work and life well, and I was not determinded to move onto next career, as I was still growing my skills and strengths in TM.
I joined in a book salon in Dec.7th by Ogilvy Era chairwoman Olive Ting. I was late for the salon due to transportation mistake. It was a serious mistake that caused my being an hour late for the salon. I know it was going to happen actually because my hand beads fell apart in the early morning. I guess I just could not avoid the bad luck. When I was still going wrong on the bus, I found I was not on the list of Ogilvy competition to enter the next level. I was really feeling bad then and I was still travelling in SH and I hesitated if I should join in salon anyway when it was almost 30min late. It was Friday and I had my regular mentor review today. I was reminded by mentor that do not avoid challenge. So I was there for the last Q&A part of salon. I brought a wuxi gift for Oliver and I was glad to have her buz card. We took a picture togther. I had also delivered my book note to her. It could be a nice chance to communicate with her via email, but I gave it up. I didn't email her I don't know for many many things bothered me around the time. I spent the night at Mc and submited a short article to TI magazine about my mentorship at TMC, hoping to publish in TI magazine. Yep, it is waiting in line to publish later this year. Yep, let's wait and see.
