Bloganuary: My billboard on the road

If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?

Bloganuary 2024

I wouldn’t put my billboard on the freeway because then the message wouldn’t get through. I would have a billboard on the pavement so people can stop and read it in peace. I don’t know if people have these smaller billboards attached to lamp poles on the streets in other countries, but here we have them. If you have a billboard with writing on them, you can’t have them on the freeway. People drive too fast to see the message.

I made an example on Canva about how my billboard would look like. It’s about introversion. There are many myths about it, and I think it would be time to stop thinking being an introvert is something terrible. Many famous people are, and no one “complains” about that.

So here it is.

introvert do not mean shy

There are many other myths about introversion, but those are the most essential facts about it. Let’s have peace, alright.

Bloganuary: This gift is what I want

What is the greatest gift someone could give you?

Bloganuary 2024

The greatest gift someone could give me is the courage to make decisions, especially career choices. It’s easy to say to a person just to do things, but there are things you need to think about before doing anything. It can feel like you’re in a stupor when you keep changing your mind. I know what I want to do, but finding a job is challenging. I wrote about entrepreneurship in the last post, which is where I need the courage for.

No one can give that kind of gift. They can only support you. But that would be the greatest gift someone could give me. The other thing would be more money, but I wouldn’t want to get it for free. That’s where getting a job or becoming an entrepreneur comes in.

Hurrah for the Bloganuary Challenge 2024

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.
