Don't change your goal, you just need to change your strategy.

Hai everyone, as I promise before on the previous post, I'd like to tell you about the result of the cabin crew recruitment which I join, the results are


The picture above is the result of Air Atlanta Icelandic, yeay I got it, Alhamdulillah

Then, this picture above is the result of Citilink Indonesia, wohoo double combo! Alhamdulillah..

But, wait! Why I feel so confused? Why suddenly there is an awkward feelings appear? Why I am unsure to be a cabin crew right now? Geez, you must be kidding me! ( I know you guys will said like that) While thousands of young girl compete want to be a flight attendant, then I was struggling for some recruitment, now I feel "Is this the right decision for me?" I mean, I am almost 25 years old but I didn't achieve anything like a house for my family, like a vehicle or the other luxurious thing in the world. I am taking a deep breathe, think very deep, make a (+) and (-) being a flight attendant, I know my big goal is only want to pay my parents to pilgrimage to Mecca with my huge salary by being a flight attendant. Then what? Oh Allah, I forget something, I am just chasing for Dunya, my eyes close to the money and money. Do I ever think about the other thing? Like get married and continue my education to Master program and how about my life will be if I am being a mother and wife? I mean, I am impressed to a cabin crew and really want to be them. But, the reason is only for money honestly. My closest friends ask me to do Istikharah and pray to Allah, let Allah show you the best way.

Then after, a month thinking very hard about the consequences and the profit also, I choose to step back, I send the email to the both airlines (Air Atlanta and Citilink), my father agreed with my decision, he said I need to re-think about this, how about the contract meanwhile he want me to get married soon. I know, it really hurt, I struggle and fight for all the step and stage even the process takes time, then when I get it, I rejected. Unbelievable! My boyfriend, Edo (Oriental Boy) support me to take another job, to continue my education in any ways, either scholarships or own cost.

Well, I send the cancellation to join with the Air Atlanta or Citilink. Besides that, I know my job is doesn't have any career path on the company which I worked at the time. Alhamdulillah, Allah show me another way, I got another opportunity in other Multinational Company which runs in retail sector from European. I am being an Executive Assistant, but it is more clearly in career path because there is a promotion and rotation, so I can learn a lot of knowledge in any field. It is such a coincidence that I am responsible for Marketing, Digital Strategy, Procurement, Corporate Communication & Sustainability Departments below my bos. There are a lot of knowledge which I could get, interesting and yes, challenging for sure. But, at least I try, right? Then how about my daily routine?

Yap, I am preparing a big goals, the goals are mostly still the same like I chase from year to year! If your missions are failed, do not ever change your goals, but the strategy. Man Jadda Wa Jadda , I know those words are like a spell to me. I believe I can make it.



See ya in another post!
With Love,
