Over the last two months, it has been an eye opening experience to me. Given the opportunity to travel to Europe, to be around the people of the industry, to learn things from peers from interiors, to walk and talk with journalists, to share meals and conversations with successful yet humble big bosses; it was nevertheless inspiring.
But little did i know, working together with usherers from a convention centre, talking to security guards of different nations, workers from Nepal and Indonesia, is as inspiring.
If my father knew, he would have said, don't talk to strangers, especially immigrant workers. well, i guess that's probably what any father would say to their daughter, daughters would know what i meant.
But in truth, they are simply just as amazing as any managing directors, any vice president of interior associates, any CEO of the company, the only difference is the thing you get to learn from them. Self protecting skills, we all should have, so, nobody ask you to give all your information to a stranger. But i think, sharing a conversation or two wouldn't do any harm. We are in a way, coworkers for at least 4 days. :)
so i guess, it is good to try jobs of different kinds. i did indeed learn much from this time's part time. From the way of dealing with people, offering your smiles, professionalism of hospitality and hmm... i guess, the most important of all, pure humility. It is always important to never see yourself higher than others. Because really, you never know.
a toast to all the amazing people i met. thanks for everything.
