What are your biggest challenges?

Bloganuary 2024

Welcome 2024. Hurrah for that and for the Bloganuary. The question for day 1 is, what’s the biggest challenge. Well, I have had those over the years, but that is the past. The biggest challenge has been getting a job, which is also one of them this year. I’m tired of getting ideas for jobs I don’t want. Why can’t I get a job that I have studied for?! It’s a bit frustrating. I wish I was brave enough to become an entrepreneur, but it’s complicated. I studied entrepreneurship some years ago because I had never gotten started. Maybe I don’t believe in my skills enough. You can’t start a business cold turkey. I don’t know if I could handle a part-time and keep a business. The last time I had a part-time job, I was too tired when the day ended. I couldn’t think clearly, and I only wanted to do relaxing things. It would be better if I would be a total entrepreneur instead. I could choose my own business hours.

That aside, the biggest challenge right now is getting out of bed. I like to sleep a little too much. I think I will start with some at the beginning of every year, but I never do. I should do better because I know I can and want to. We’ll see how things will go in 2024. Many things will happen this year in the world, so you never know what could happen. Let’s hope things won’t get worse. Hurrah for the new year, though.

Reaching its peaks

When is it time to say it’s enough

Doing things you don’t want, but yet you must

Life is about your own choices

No one else can tell you what

Reaching its peaks might be now

Happy you are not if you are forced

They take things away if you don’t obey

You pretend to be interested, but you fake it

Only to keep things safe

Reaching its peaks is hard, but you will be strong

You will take a chance when you pick up the courage

Years have gone by, but things are still the same

Take your manners into your own hands, and you will be free

Job search is demanding, and I have reached my peaks

Professions to be desired

work

What profession do you admire most and why?

Daily writing prompt

Many professions are essential because if no one doesn’t clean or take care of the elderly, for example, nothing would be done. I admire a lot of professions, people who save lives and even garbage people. They do a job I could never do. I get anxious when I see people in pain, and I don’t like touching people. I’m not made to do a profession like that. I admire people who do those jobs, though.

A profession I admire the most is actors and actresses. Acting is a tough job. They can play roles where they need to do things I could never do, like doing love scenes and such. They also need to be brave, and I admire people that are. It doesn’t need to be in a profession. Actors and actresses can play different kinds of people. They can play other characters and try different jobs without going to school to become them. Becoming an actor is also quite tricky. They don’t give up; even if they struggle, they won’t give up their dream. They might need a talisman if they want to be successful. It’s a competitive business, and not everyone will become big stars. Actors and actresses aren’t fairly treated in recent years, with being paid relatively and getting compensation from streaming services. They’re also afraid of getting replaced by Artificial intelligence. That’s why the strike is going on at the moment. In my opinion, actors and actresses won’t be replaced by AI because acting still needs to be done by real people. Watching movies and TV series wouldn’t be the same as now. Humans should never be replaced by robots in any profession.
