Directorship

I've always been competitive and have always let some peer pressure push me along as I dwell into my career and personal goals. 

From the outside looking in, one will see that I've achieve a lot. Moving from being a top boy of a little known school in Malaysia, to getting full scholarship to study at a top university in the UK before starting a career in Malaysia followed by a career in the US. 

Little do people know the internal struggles I've been fighting. I'm fully appreciative and proud of my achievements. BUT, there's always some buts in life, 10 years into my professional career, I've noticed many of my peers become Directors of big organization. Because I've been bounded by one organization and despite the many opportunity within, I've moved from being an engineer to an operations manager then to a sales rep. I am far from being a Director, maybe assistant Director is of closer reach. 

A title may only be a title but it is also one that is of high significance. 

So here I am, a day after deciding that I will embark on a new adventure in a new industry - giving my career a new reset. Hopefully I come out stronger in the next 10 years.. and potentially achieving the director title.
