Work Dish

There is an old cultural tradition that my family adheres to every year. On the eve of the Chinese New Year, my mom cleans the house, and makes us clean our rooms, from top to bottom. The legend that drives this practice is the saying that goes “The state of your life o New Year’s Day shapes your life for the whole year. Act and think in a way that we want to live our life” She emphasizes that having a positive mindset for the year will make a significant difference in our lives. It is the same for every step in your life, entering the workforce is no exception.
Joining the workforce is one of the biggest steps a person will take in their life; its right there after learning to drive and going to college. “Entering the Workforce” paints a daunting picture: starched suits, black coffee and numbered “off” days. But it’s just like New Year’s Eve; having the right mindset is half the battle. Who doesn’t like to look good when going to work? Coffee will give that caffeine boost you need to get through to lunch. And those numbered “off” days; well, that just makes you want to savor those days when you have them, right?

It may not be the New Year, but think positive, guys! Good Luck and go get ‘em!
