⭐Half-year review after graduation. I think graduation is comfortable, but the truth is...?

To sum up our first half, it would be "start."

At the beginning of the year, we graduated and thought everything would be easier.

But the truth is,

Graduation is not the finish line.

It is the beginning of creating a life on its own.

📍. Half a year ago.

- Submit multiple job applications.

- Start looking for a path that suits yourself.

- Plan the money.

- Aim to go to Work & Travel. ⭐

Many times, I can't compare myself to others.

Some have jobs, some have a steady income.

We're still in the "trying" phase.

But looking back, at least we had the courage to start dreaming and planning our future.

💖 Our dream is to get to Work & Travel.

Not just to travel, but to learn the wider world.

Develop English. Make money by yourself.

And prove yourself capable.

Even today is not yet reached.

But we're walking one step closer to the dream.

💭 Things learned from the first half

* No need to grow up

* Everyone has their own rhythm of life.

* Small efforts every day. Always meaningful.

🥹🪄 Half a year...

Give yourself a good chance, a job you like.

Keep the money on target and hopefully embark on the journey it once dreamed of.

Perhaps the first half didn't yield the best results, but provided the most valuable lessons. 🤍

What about the first half? Let's share it.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวของผู้จบการศึกษาใหม่ การเรียนจบไม่ได้หมายความว่าชีวิตจะง่ายขึ้นทันที แต่กลับเป็นจุดเริ่มต้นใหม่ที่ท้าทายมากขึ้นมากกว่าที่คิด ในช่วงครึ่งปีแรก ผมเองก็ต้องเผชิญกับความไม่แน่นอนของอนาคต การส่งใบสมัครงานหลายที่และการเลือกเส้นทางที่เหมาะสมกับตัวเองทำให้รู้ว่าชีวิตหลังเรียนจบคือการเรียนรู้ที่จะอดทนและมีความพยายามอย่างต่อเนื่อง สิ่งที่สำคัญคือการวางแผนการเงินอย่างรอบคอบ เพราะไม่มีเงินสนับสนุนโดยตรงเหมือนตอนเป็นนักศึกษา และต้องรับผิดชอบค่าใช้จ่ายของตัวเองทั้งหมด การตั้งเป้าหมายที่ชัดเจน เช่น การเตรียมตัวไป Work & Travel ไม่ได้หมายถึงแค่การท่องเที่ยว แต่เพื่อเปิดโลกทัศน์ พัฒนาทักษะภาษาอังกฤษ และสร้างโอกาสในการทำงานที่ดีขึ้น สิ่งหนึ่งที่ผมเรียนรู้คือไม่ควรนำตัวเองไปเปรียบเทียบกับคนอื่น เพราะทุกคนมีจังหวะชีวิตแตกต่างกัน ความสำเร็จของผู้อื่นไม่ได้เป็นเครื่องวัดคุณค่าของเรา การพยายามเล็กๆ ในแต่ละวันมีความหมายและจะนำพาเราไปสู่เป้าหมายได้ในที่สุด ดังนั้น ขอแนะนำให้เพื่อนๆ ที่เพิ่งเรียนจบหรือกำลังเผชิญกับช่วงเปลี่ยนผ่านของชีวิต ใช้เวลานี้เป็นโอกาสเรียนรู้และเติบโต แม้ว่าผลลัพธ์จะไม่เป็นไปตามที่หวังในทันที แต่บทเรียนและประสบการณ์ที่ได้รับจะมีคุณค่าและช่วยให้เราแข็งแกร่งขึ้นสำหรับเส้นทางข้างหน้า

“The truth about loving a good man… most women learn too late.”
Most women don’t lose a good man overnight… they lose him slowly by becoming comfortable, predictable, and unappreciative. A good man doesn’t leave because he stopped caring— he leaves when he realizes he’s no longer valued. And by the time that realization hits… it’s already too late. #re
