When I had my job interview for the traning I just finished I was asked what I would consider my most important successes and my worst defeats.
I told them I honestly couldn't tell them any defeats. It's true, in my whole life I never had a defeat that I would label as 'really bad'. Sure I didn't always win, I wasn't lucky every day, but there wasn't one point in my life where I wanted something really badly and didn't get it.
Of course I'm not the world's most ambitious person, so I never went for goals like 'Be the best one', 'get a degree faster than anybody before' and things like that. There were things I wanted, but didn't get, but somehow there was always another door open which was pretty much as attractive as the one that just closed.
I mean, look at my life. I live in a beautiful apartment together with the man I love, I just finished my traning, the job prospects aren't completely bad (yet), I have a great family, I was always able to pursue my interests...
In short, I'm damn lucky.
To maybe be continued...
