I keep telling myself the same. Its been almost a year since I've been trying to find a job in the field of my study here in UK, sadly I am yet to taste success. As each day passes by, its getting harder and uncertain of what career step to take next. I am not sure how long will I stay in UK, if I can't find a job here, but I am not gonna give up, I will continue to push myself.
I've been improving my CV, registering with more job consultancies, I get calls from recruiting agencies, every application I make I ensure to put all my efforts to make it the best one possible. Next, they ask for visa status and proof of work permit in the UK, so I send them a scanned copy of my work visa and then the waiting starts - with a hope to get called for an interview. But since the last one year, there was always silence after the application phase and when I call them to enquire the status of my application, I hear that it was unsuccessful this time but they gonna keep my details and will consider my CV for similar roles in the future.
Every morning I wake up with a hope that I will get a positive response soon, I am gonna get a job here and my life will turn better. I watch motivational videos, I keep telling myself that no matter how difficult it gets, I am still gonna try. I'll keep applying, will keep improving my CV, will keep contacting people, will continue to take suggestions from friends and family and will not give up so easily.
Sometimes I feel lonely, wish I had a girlfriend, wish to be with my family. There are times when you take a pause from the busy routine of life and question yourself if the path you are taking now, will it make your dreams come true, will you reach your goals? But in spite of all that, the most important thing is to be positive in everything you do, just keep yourself focussed, keep pushing yourself and keep moving forward.
Having said that, here are couple of good motivational speeches. We can always pick strength, energy and get inspired from motivational content in books, audio files or videos.
Al Pacino's famous speech. I find this line very meaningful from this speech, "When you get old in life, things get taken from you. I mean, that's a part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losing stuff." - And its true for every age - cause once you keep growing, with every year passing in your life, you lose the opportunities that you had the previous year. So, just don't let things go, capture them, capture the moment, be a winner.
Here is the speech delivered by Kurt Russell from the movie Miracle. These lines are inspiring, "One game. If we played them ten times, they might win nine, but not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate. Tonight, we stay with them, and we shut them down, because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world."
Everyone of us have our own battle to fight, so we all need to push ourselves, to believe that we can achieve everything we wanna achieve, we have the guts to face any challenge that life throws at us and come out as a winner.
Wish you good luck, take care :)
