What do you know Wednesday

Top Tip for Tuesday

I commemorated my 10th work anniversary two weeks ago - something that’s quite uncommon among my industry peers. Here’s what I learnt, broadly summed up into five points. 1. Your career journey is like a tending to a garden that you’re cultivating from scratch. Comparing it with other gardens is overrated and unhealthy and unauthentic. 2. Tend to your own garden. Your garden is unique. Make the garden you want to be proud of. 3. Not everyone will see the dirt and sweat and time you invested into your garden. And that’s okay. Success is multi-dimensional, and happens over time. Celebrate your garden one flower/rock at a time. 4. Cultivating your own garden can feel lonely and overwhelming at times. It’s okay to ask for help. But truth be told, regardless of the amount of advice and help you get, you’re still the gardener. You build self-resilience. Self-reliance. You may even be self-taught. Because in most cases you have to be your own expert first. 5. Sometimes your garden undergoes a complete overhaul, through no fault of your own and may even change your perspectives, values and goals. That’s okay. Life is a spiral staircase that takes you higher even though you think you’re starting from square one. Keep an open mind. Take on new roles. Be grateful for those new opportunities. (5b. Those new opportunities also mean you must be ready to make mistakes and fail. It stabs and twists your gut, but those lessons will stick.) Grateful to everyone I’ve worked with at MUFG for shaping me into the professional I am today. #career #reflection #personalgrowth
