我的本意是要寫一篇勵誌文，那就讓以我吹噓自己做為結尾。
在做sushi的時候，主管是一個從北京來的中國人，跟她交流過很多，她對我的評價是一個勤勵，堅韌的人。好喜歡用這樣好的詞語被形容，我就愉快的接受啦。
雇了一個家教學英語，經常自己也抽一些時間學一點。前段時間我的家教搬離了紐芬蘭島，臨走前他向我推薦了ToastmastersClub，非常喜歡這個俱樂部，幾乎[閱讀全文]

我在紐芬蘭的新工作平靜而安好，我的目標是盡?量多掌握技能，讓自己在工作中更有競爭力。向做的很久的同行請教怎樣從專業上提高自己，說是英語交流很重要，軟件應用，像對excel的應用非常關鍵，要對行業標準很熟悉。隻要幫我提高工作能力，我就做。英語不過關，請家教。excel，買書，看博客，看vedio，就這樣忙著，不會再對過去糾結很多，離婚的傷痛也漸漸趨弱，倒[閱讀全文]

前夫提到的多倫多辦公室的資深專業人士審突然給我打電話說他接到一個重要的項目需要我加入，他說隻要我回多倫多辦公室，他可以讓我做工程師的工作。在又一次跟杭的表弟吃飯的時候，他說Ella也要被派到聖約翰斯來上班了。我一下子就把這兩件事聯係到一起，是我太多疑，太敏感，還是太敏銳了呢？答案未知，但將在外，軍命有所不受，我懂的，再大的誘惑，我都不往[閱讀全文]
