I am a survivor!

I ask myself these questions: What would I do if I were stranded in an unknown city with no money or resources? How would I eat? Where would I sleep? What about the weather? So here is what I would do...

See, I began my first vacation job when I was twelve. I knocked door to door selling Christmas cards and was happy to earn $10 a day... that was 1982!! So it's no brainer to get out there to find a job. My design and marketing skills, plus my communication abilities should get me somewhere. Moreover, knowing how to converse in Mandarin would be an added advantage. So it's easy. Once I get a job, I can then eat. Or else, I can find myself a restaurant job so that food will be provided. After all, I managed a restaurant for two good years in 2001.

Sleeping may be a little problematic but wait! I can get to know some friends and rent a place, tell them my sad story and let them know I'll pay once I get my first check. It's about being humble and learning the power of asking. And I don't think weather is a concern. I am adaptable and I should adjust in no time.

So what do you think? Am I a survivor? You bet!
