It never cross my mind to be a cabby as I for once feel that being a cabby can't bring me far ahead in life. But life unfolds for everyone differently including myself of course.
I had been in and out of jobs all the while as I do not seem to be getting the hang of life in a working society. So you can say that I'm always the one to fired the boss and not the other way round.
But thing take a twist, as 1 fine day I was ask to leave the company as the company lost a big contract and those supposedly engage were supposed to be in this program so when the company lost this contract, we were given the golden handshake.
At this juncture i decided to go into property full time. Being a property agent is not a bed of roses too. We have our fair share of ups and downs. I have my happiness time when I close some deals and disappointments when I eat grass after that.
To cut the story short, I went back into the working arena again. Initially I was happy there cos I was applying what I had learnt before and learning new things all the time. It make me very competent that how I felt. But after 3 mths down the road, I was given the golden handshake again, that's when I was totally shaken up and realized I can't afford or have the luxury to work for others and in the end get the boot again. Anyway life had tomove on.
I was looking at various avenue and one of my friend had no luck in findinga job too. Therefore, he decided to drive a cab. He told me that he will go for those hard knocks first and when he found a way out, then I can join him as a relief.
So I started driving as a relief in June straight after I got my TVL. Then 1 fine day due to mis-communication and I find him rather petty and we just call it off.
Next, I found another hirer and was just starting to drive the first day and met with an accident with another cabby.
Things just go out of hand from here onwards and I found another cabby.
This cabby uncle was even petty and I called it a day after 1 day of driving.
But to think that I could find another hirer, comfort just hit me real hard on my face saying that becos I've been terminated by my hirer, to drive again I had to pay 50% of my debts before I can resume driving.
Therefore, I have no choice but to take a sabbatical and wait then I have cleared my debts and have my goals religned before making a comeback.
To sum up, it had been quite a challenge being a TD but I have no regrets in going into this line and meeting so many bros here and for all the valuable experiences I have learned in the process.
Thanks to TU for making this a wonderful forum and all the bros who have given me your concern and support. ALL THE BEST.
you seem like quite 'sway'. i suggest you go 'pai pai' if you are a buddhist or taoist. go church if you are a christian or catholic, start ramandan before is over if you are a muslim, plan for a walk on thaipusan if you are a hindu.
most of the times, we really need the lucky stars to fall on us.
When so called golden handshake continuously comes it means that bargaining power has gone, change ourself, mold it, let ourself merge into the society again.
Look at things from different angle, holding a mirror and examine, exchange position and think carefully you will find your way advance to the next level. Don't be too calculative because no matter how good your maths is you can't count how many hair on your head.
Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.ISAIAH 40:31
Never give up if you have the will. You might be hitting the rough patch in your working life, take it as a lesson and learn from the mistake. The most worrying thing is that people never learn from their mistake and lead todestruction in their life. Good that u are enlighten whenever setback hit u.
A mission with no action is just a dream A mission with action will make a different.
