Eeney, meenie, miny, moe,
Pick your way of life as the most
With no remorse as the cost.
It gets better as you age
If you get to read this article; it means you have natured as much as myself, and probably make as many mistakes as I did.
I you didn't- good for you. There's still lots to experience. See and feel. As we age, we take life challenges just as with more calm and seriousness. Before, we either freaked or just due laughing. Yeah we could afford the consequences, or just not giving a shit to it.
Our parents then freaked for us.
I'm not a super star, I'm not an actress, I'm not a rich person.
I'm just like any normal sincere and honest person that decided to have a normal successful life.
You tell me at the end.
Like anyone; we learn through what it's called 'via trial and error'
If I overpassed the 3rd one, then I was stupid. Yep, many overpassed number 4
Excuse me for living, it over overpassed the 4th with flying colors, back and forth.
I'm a human being with bad habits.
I loved to drink; mix drinks, but never cause a scene nor got arrested, because of fear of my parents finding out.
I smoked, but didn't like the smell that impregnated my clothes. I couldn't stand the fact that Monmouth always got dried. Ok, drink beer. Good idea.
I drank lots of beer, black beer, my favorite. I didn't do drugs.
Only smoke pot. Nope. It only worked during end of the semester tests.
Because I studied Graphic Design, my drug as 'inhaling' aid was the smell of the alcohol used for drawing markers. Yes, I can imagine a cool way of creating great content for the story boards at the advertising agencies, at the graphic department, being high with the snell of the markers, perhaps.
Perhaps today's warm grey nor. 12C.
Then it came the glue por posting the storyboard to make it easy to carry.
Great being high times!
Lesson learned: don't stay too long with the markers without the cap.
You want to experience the 'idea' moment a bit longer, just put the cap back on for next time.
My bestie and I always watch our backs when going to parties. Great idea.
We turned into blood sisters, we even lost our virginity at same time, but with our each boyfriends, at a different location, same party.
Time passed by, we separated. We migrated to a different country, different way of life.
Myself, the challenge of being accepted by a new language and life, involved a lot of pressure that paid back with lots of value added to my life, but again, at a price.
Luckily, the company I worked for from the beginning; as it grew, I grew up with them, and myself. Opportunities where present and I took them. I learned every single manufacturing and packing processes of the finished product to be sold. A new world opened for me, a new opportunity to welcome. I studied a new career, that without noticing, became my favorite. Having learned all the processes, I documented every single process of creating this new product.
The final result - a quality control program for a finished product.
From harvesting to shipping, from receiving to packing and blending, from finished product to private label.
It created a new market for us: Canada, USA, Europe, Americas. Restaurants and Hotel chains.
Travelled to audit suppliers and packets about their own security measures for shipping their raw materials.
Soon enough, it was needed to create a new updated website. With the help of a web host, a new website came to life. I learned the maintenance of the company's website.
Label design - which covered not only in-house but also private label was starting to pick up. I was lucky to participate on that project.
I was just living in paradise.
All the hard work was finally paying off.
The same way new opportunities appear in my life, other challenges arose to trick me again.
Do you think my luck was still there; waiting for me, to come out and embrace them?
I never rejected any challenges; on the contrary, I enjoyed them.
And my life; once again played:
