“Opportunities”
There are many opportunities out there. The opportunity to reveal your career path or your interest. The opportunity to get mentors (the real one). The opportunity to join international and national event remotely without moving your ass from your seat.
These opportunities surely make us developed. Somehow, I just start to think there are some thoughts that most probably is my own bias and it’s bad (of course), about these opportunities. I struggle to be objective as possible as I can. Although I want to express my thoughts here, let’s discuss if you are not agree with me.
Thoughts 1
I really love opportunities, I seek for them. I’m always looking for something new because I’m thirsty of knowledge. The opportunity gives me the chance to exchange thoughts and get the answer of rare questions. Of course, this will impact myself and my surroundings in the future. I can meet outstanding people, the best one. Learning new method to improve self-skills is definitely my goals. Leadership. Communication. Critical thinking. Objective. Negotiation. Interpersonal skills. and everything about it does have a big role for us and the existing opportunities will bring us to these.
Thoughts 2
FOMO or as known as fear of missing out. Is it usual to have this? of course. We see people getting internship at the best companies in the world. We see people getting scholarship. We see people are invited to be a speaker at events. We see people getting the job they wanted. We see people studying abroad. We see people winning a competition. We see people getting a new iPhone or iPad or laptop or even a Mac! It’s okay to feel FOMO because you want the thing they got too (or maybe not). However, feeling FOMO doesn’t define your true color. It is only one of many expressions human have. If you know, someone might be jealous of what you have now, for sure, because human won’t feel enough of themselves. And I think to decrease this FOMO is only and just by controlling your self through mindset, healthset, heartset, and soulset.
Thoughts 3
We become to be not ourselves. Somehow seeing many opportunities out there make us thriving to try this and try that, and become more and more until we forget the big picture which is our goal. Remember, your goal is the reason why you start anything. When in the middle of the road, there will be many challenges (like I said before), but don’t forget about your goal. Your goal is your unique selling point.
Well, that’s what I thought about opportunities. I would like to hear from people around the world about their thoughts too.
