So, here's the situation, I'm in the middle of work, suddenly I found job advertisement as a management trainee. And now while filling the application, I face this question:
"Please describe a situation in your life that was challenging for you and that you have overcome (e.g. financial situation, conflict with friends/family)"
I've experienced lots of problems in my life, and 70% of them have not been solved (yet). What success story shall I write? Then I remember when I was 17, I desperately want a cellphone. Most of my classmates have one in their pockets. So I ask my parents, they straightly said no because they can't buy me a new one. I hardly think how to savings since I don't have pocket money. Then comes an idea of selling snacks (risoles and lontong) to my classmates. Fortunately, my neighbor is having catering business, I asked her for cooperation. She agreed to provide me the snacks, I take it on the way to school, sell it to my friends, and we share the profits. I was thrilled for having small business with her. Long story short, I eventually saved enough money to buy a cellphone.
From that on, I believe that we can get whatever we want, as long as we are keen, patiently make efforts towards the goal. I keep this belief in mind when I have bigger goal -> lasik surgery. I had wearing eyeglasses since I was 10, it bothers me a lot because my vision keeps going near sighted. I was having around minus 6 before lasik. So I started savings since I was freshmen, and in final semester I'm free of eyeglasses! Again, this proves my belief that any dreams can be achieved. Just keep yourself determined and stick with it.
