Values for Re-affirmation

Quarter 4 of the year 2012. Will there be an apocalypse, or would it be just another anticipated suspenses of emptiness? This I would leave it to see.

During my sabbatical, I thought that it was really life, as I would like to take a break and to do what I want to do, study what I want to study, and work to gain the experience on what I need to gain the experiences on(though it was on a freelance basis). However, sooner in life, after the courses and studies are over, completed and done with, with overlapping transition, a job in the training, education, or marketing roles is a vision for the 3 industries which I set myself for, to secure a place in.

Training & Development role, which relates to HR would really be my first choice. After years of a synthesis of thoughts, experience, interactions, self-reflections, i finally found that i am someone who is really into T & D. Initially my administration and customer services roles in PEI had put me further to in exam administration, ultimately over the months, the feel of training ,engaging learners and even teachings brought me great satisfactions. The feel of vocal power, movement, and engagement of students and learners bring satisfactions without missing sweat, anxiety, preparation, adrenalin, before, during, in the midst, or even after the teaching or training. This proves to be better than sitting still, letting blood flows to the butt and facing the PC workstations from 9am to 6pm, causing eye sore, blurriness, and even floaters around the pupils of the eyes, which in turn, affect the brain's normal working functions, thus causing much errors in paper work. But to work in the HR industry requires years of experience, before given a chance.

I do question a few: if the selfished ones require people with experiences to work for them in order to benefit their own organisations, then who will give the people without experiences, a chance to gain the experiences? I am not suggesting all employers should be kind, but they should at least have a scheme to hire people who is interested in an industry, yet need to acquire the experience from the start.

The 2nd industry is Teaching & Learning related. I may not need to be an Academic Directly, but given by my attainment, i would really wish to acquire more years of indutry experience before giving lectures of modules such as Management, PR, Communications, Marketing etc. So which one? I would say it depends on the next decade on where i am. Definitely in theory related modules, i should be fine.

4 Values for Affirmations I acquire over in life are:

Discipline and Respect : From the time I was in Martial Arts.
Endurance, Perseverence and Tenacity : From the time I was in the Army Commandos.
Power, Principle, Attitude, and Goal Oriented: Now, and cultivating!
