if you have to choose either to risk for your life and leave everything you had behind in exchange of an opportunity that may or may not succeed will you go for it?
so here's the situation. you are being ask to start your life all over again overseas. you wont carry anything with you but your experience of dealing people, your skills and your courage to face any challenges. you will be on a group so you know your not alone...they too, the same as you risk everything they have established. you will be ask to compete each other and the one who wins will have the guarantee to have the best JOB you will ever ask for. BUT if you lose, you will have the choice go back to your home country defeated and start again.

Taking that sort of risks is like gambling.
I would not do it... not unless I was fairly confident that I can succeed and get the job. That is what we call a "calculated risk".
But at your age... you hardly have anything to lose.
If you don't do those things at 18... you will never do them... because by 25... you will be tied down with plenty to lose.

The biggest problem in life is getting a good opportunity. If oen gets a ghood opportunity, then it is your hard work and perseverence tht carries the day. if you are up to it, youwill sicceed. I would always welcome such opportunities and make the best of it. i know that there is no room for failure so I will work extra hard. iknow it is just the initial years that can make or mar me, so i will not hesitate to put in my best. I have no doubt that i will excel an come out with good results as i have faith in my abilities.

This is a difficult question to answer. If I am well off where I'm at, I probably won't do it. If the JOB takes most of my life to succeed, I won't do it. There are only a few years of my life left to enjoy it. Similarly, if I fail, I have only a few years of my life left to start again. On the other hand, if there is no future for me in the place where I'm at, I wouldn't hesitate to grap this opportunity a bit.

I will risk it.. For, success always comes with a risk ^_^ Without risk, we won't be able to challenge ourselves and know where's our limits.. PLus, take it as an learning experience ^_^ Most ple dun succeed in their 1st attempt.. What's most important is that, we are able to face up to our failure, and start all over again..
For that, that will be the real road to success ^_^ Also, when we think we are the best, there will always be someone better than us somewhere out there.. So when we meet them, we learn, and surpass them ^_^ That's the real spirit it should be ^_^

Everything in life is risking, you risk your everyday while going to work, crossing the road too, while eating you are risking something or the food can choke you, while sleeping you are risking because you do not know what is happening at that time, for this scenario it quite challenging but one thing that keep people going is courage, once that courage is gone you will not achieve anything, and if you are set to travell to unknown destination for job interview knowing very that you have to win, nothing will stop you from winning, by the way do you know that at this point you have nothing to loose but everything to win.

never say i loose or i will loose,confidence is something that really keeps moving ur strength in urself.it is like forest where everyone depende on eachother they r there for u ,what matters is either to survive or leave the den.peoples r harsh when someone comes in there way like animals do,only size,strength, confidence, skill and performance matters in such positions.do hard work and not to think about what will happen just do ur best with positive frame of mind.everything u do brings something for u thats what nature says,ya for every action there is equal and opposite reaction,so the outcome has to be there and u must get ready for that too.........
