I begin to understand why my job is so different from last year. Because I tried to do my best for my work. I actually hate "myself" for delivering snoopy work more than I hate my work. Of course, it is not a bed of roses, there are people you rather not work with, lessons that are flops, conflicts with pupils etc. But, I think we should love our job. Here how I do it: 1) Remind myself it pays for my stable and comfortable life. LOL. I have seen the reverse, I just had a close friend who borrowed money from me to attend to some emergencies. That loan is overdued but I have already decide to write it off the moment I agree to lend the money. I meet people who told me there are many working as hard or even harder than me ......
