Beginning Is Always The Hardest

I saw a lot of people that are easy to give up when they feel the thing that they do is hard and I admit that I am one of that kind of person before but I realize no one was born perfect, all-pro and successful person start into nothing too. They struggle first before the hard part becomes easy for them. So who we are to complain and just give up? If you want something to achieve, to have, or to improve you need to put effort and hard work into this.
There's no come easy
God is good, yes but God can't make your wish as what you think. If you wish to have a car and pray for it, God doesn't throw it from the sky and land exactly in front of you, even you pray for it hundreds of times as long as you don't make an action to get that you can't ever get that!.

That line was spoken by Michael Jordan in "Failure" It is a Nike TV commercial way back in 1997.
For those who don't know who is Michael Jordan, let me share some facts about him real quick. He is a former shooting guard and arguably star player of the Chicago Bulls team in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and owner of the Charlotte Hornets now (It is also a team in the NBA).
Now let's back to our main topic.
I know that you say in your mind right now "I am not a fan of that person and I don't even play basketball so why I will inspire by that!?". Yes, maybe you are not a fan of this person and maybe you are not playing basketball but I use him as an example because I want to say is, no matter how many failures come to us, just continue to chase what we want to reach because no one will do this to us, they can give some advice and motivations to believe in ourselves that we can, but the action is in our hand if we continue what we've been started.
Check those guys and get amazed at their works (:
Sometimes we just see the success of others that's why we want to follow their steps but we don't think about what challenges their face before to got what they have right now.
If you failed don't look down on yourself. Just keep in your mind that sometimes "**FAILURE** is better than **REGRET**" because that regret will become "**WHAT IF?**"
So thankful that you reach here ❤.
Pardon me for my grammatical error. I am working to improve my English so I can write interesting articles 🙂.
The comment section is open for any tips and suggestions that can help me with my fast improvement (:

I Wasn't Ready

Sometimes believing that we can do whatever we want is not always enough to achieve something. It also has a process that we should keep in mind. Self-confidence can take us everywhere, but without preparedness, It will lead us to disaster.
The Interview
Last Monday, my uncle's girlfriend told me to apply to her job in the BPO because they are ramp hiring. She said, question in the interview is easy, and for sure I can handle them. I only need to pass the interview, and next, I will undergo training immediately. She gives me some answers that are possible to ask, and then I rephrase them.
I'm so excited to get the job, especially when she mentioned that the starting salary of the newly hired is P18,000 that's a big help for my family. Since I am the eldest and I already graduated, it's time for me to pay back for my parent's sacrificed. I haven't any work experience and if ever I'll be hired I will give my very best. Later that evening my uncle's girlfriend message me. She said that my interview will be tomorrow at 10 AM. I practice my answer a bit and tell myself I will continue It tomorrow morning.
Then the time comes.
"Tell me about yourself?" Said by the interviewer I was stunned for a second. I can't hear my mind because of the loud beat of my heart. I feel there is something in my throat that blocks my voice. Holy gracious! I'm nervous. I suddenly don't know myself for a moment. I feel dizzy. I want to vomit. The interview follows up from another question to another until It's finally finished. My answer is out of nowhere that even I will not let It passed.
After the interview, I feel so ashamed. I'm ashamed of all the answers I released. I pity myself. I look like a loser. But I know to myself there is no one to blame, only me. I was just complacent too much.
Thanks to @Kelzy who cheer me up to this down moment. She shares her out-of-this-world answer when the first time she applied for a job to make me laugh. She said I should pursue writing here to help me improve my English because I admit to myself that I'm not good at grammar. I will gonna train myself here and you will all witness my improvement.
I feel so lucky when at the down point of my life, she was there to comfort me. I know we men need to look strong in front of everybody but not all women can understand us if we showed our flaws.
Lesson:
We should never let our guard down. Preparation in every battle will let us win. We can conquer our fear if we have armed with knowledge.
Cause if we have **KNOWLEDGE**, we have **POWER**
My deepest gratitude to Ma'am @Bloghound the 2nd user I've known here and welcome me warmly ❤.

The Concrete Forest

There is no exit
Stinky breeze that you can smell due to smoke coming from vehicles and factories, clogged drainage that you can see due to garbage, various types of noise that you can hear coming from the surrounding area and various types of crime. That is the everyday life you will witness and experience in the concrete forest.
As i walk in the concrete forest I am alert to every movement and action from those around me with every touch and bump I got every time I encounter somebody on the narrow path, I immediately dug into my pocket to see if my important things was still there. It is not for me to be judgemental but because other who lives in this forest are very bad and obstructive their only purpose is to get whatever you have that they will benefit from and leave you unable to believe because of what happended or worse will leave you lying down and bathing in your own blood.
There is no more dangerous forest than the concrete forest almost all the bad deeds are here, where living a fair life is hard everyday you feel like you are walking on a knife to survive to not be a prey in the uncertain arrangements of food chain in the concrete forest.
-The End-
