Hi,My lotters.
I am 23 three years old.So far,I have done two different jobs.
In my former company I worked as a foreign sales,it's a position you can earn depends on how much endeavor you have contribute to the job.You sacrifice more time,work late until night...It's frequent.
We don't have basic salary.If you can make a deal,you will get 35~40% commission.
If there is no deal,you have no money.Our company provid basic room and board.
In these days,I feel real pressure.But there also comes surprise.Within the first two months,I made two succesful deals.It extreamly inspired me.
But finally for some reason,I quit it.
My second job is in a hotel.
Everyday we communicate with different people help them with what they need.In the spare time,I enjoy my life in MYLOTTER.It's regular life.
To say the truth,I am pleased with my present job though I am not as rich as before^_^.
Sooooooo,mylotters,tell me about your job and the life you prefer.

Hi, its always interesting to face the challenging life. Instead of money we earn we should get the satisfaction in our work. I surely prefer the challenging one. where we can show our potential, capablity, skill.

Hi ttzhu111!!I won't say exactly I am in the Sell too Before but almost related to it.I have Joined a Multinational Company related to Computer Education Package which I use to sell and same referral type of System was also in it too.Starts very well But with the Passage of Time it get's too Challenging and unaffordable so Decided to Quit it.
So Yes Struggle also in my Life but also get's good Experience in Life to Earn money.Going in Morning and coming late night.This indeed a good experience for any 20 Year Old Guy who is looking to grab Oppurtunity for making Name and Fame.So Constantly Finding new and Innovative ways possibly to earn money.
If I have given two Option for the way of Living then I will Truely go for Simplicity of Life.As Simplicity of Life provides you all Happiness and Satisfaction towards yourself.Today's Hassel and Tassel Life made everyone so Busy that they even can't gave them or their Family Time.Even they can push back due to worries and Tensions.So Yaa do Agree Challenging Life is good to live in which we live and Feels every moment of Life But In Pure Simplicity of Life It can Turns to Heaven.
So Truely and Heartly Wish to God that He Bless All of us with Simplicity of Life Towards all of us.Simplicity of Life is too Far good and excellence of living life than from Challenging Life.If a Person can't stand through the Challenging life He\She can loose the confidence from himself but If everyone lives a Simple Life they can ever remain Cheerful and Happy.![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

Friend, challenging and thrills are great way to enjoy life. I like these sayings thrive the hunger on goals fearlessly where lies the real thrill of life. So i like challenging that identifies what you are !

High salary always gets along with pressure,if you don't pursue more and more money and just common life,you need't have to lead high pressure life.Leading a regular life you can have more spare time to do everything you want to do.So following your heart and not paying attention to other's saying,you will be more happier and your life will be more colorful.Happy every day.

Personally I prefer a challenging life. Knowing myself, living with a pretty simple life I'd probably lose my mind in a couple of days and actually start trying to find challenges. I don't like "wasting" time, though some days I allocate to doing absolutely *nothing*, just to reset my body. Keeps me refreshed :)
It really comes down to priorities (or temperament). If you're a type-A person, aggressive, goal-oriented, you'd probably be more comfortable with a challenging life. Stress will invigorate you (me! me! me!). On the other hand, if you're a type-B person, relaxed, sort of a que-sera-sera attitude, then a simple life is best.
On the other hand, don't try to pigeon-hole yourself too much. You can always explore the "other side", and if you find it wanting -- then just come on back. Don't force the issue, or you'll just end up unhappy and unfulfilled.

I don't like pressure so I suppose I would always choose the simple life! I think a lot of high flyers can become quite stressed in the workplace and this is quite disturbing as I'm sure that this leads to serious health problems later on in life. I think it's everyone's choice though, if they can handle pressure then all well and good but I'm not like that at all myself! I much prefer a quiet life and this is my personal choice. Yes it's nice to have the salary that goes with a lot of pressure I guess but salary isn't everything! I think it's far better to have little money and be happy and content that constantly having to face pressure all the time. Andrew![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

We cannot predict life.Pressure is already part of our life.Only abnormal people who don't experience pressure.It is always a good thing that we experience challenges and pressure in life.Because it test how strong are we in handling problems in life.Since I was born,i am already exposed to challenges.Our father left us.I became a working student for 8 years.And when i got my first job, it is also full of pressures just like your first job.I have to make at least 2 sales every day so i will not be out of the company.I was able to do it but just only for 2 months.When i moved to the next company,its again full of pressure,but since i am already used to it,i find it very easy to handle.Pressure will never be out of our life.All we have to do to avoid it is to make quality decisions in life.think and weigh everything first before making final decision.happy mylotting!

Hiii ttzhu
Till this date my life is full of struggle and i like it that way.I know sometime i wish i should have simple life but i know i am going to bore quickly in that scenario and crave for challenges once again.
So i am happy in my business.I work for myself.There is nothing fix salary as such.Everything depends upon my hard work and little bit luck factor also.Things are unpredictable and i think thats fun and exciting.

A simple life would be ideal. There are so many challenges and pressures thrown our way each day. If we have a way to live a simpler uncomplicated existence, it is a pleasant experience to strive for. There's nothing wrong with making life as easy as you can.

Hi. I'm 21 and still stuck to one job - and it's not offering me any growth and fulfillment at all. I badly want to resign and do something different. I'm not really a risk-taker but this time, I'm considering it because I don't want my life to be dull anymore. I want to make something out of what I have - skills, talents, knowledge. I wish to have a stable job and hope that I can find one as soon as possible so that I can get out of my current job now. They say that it will come in time. But sometimes I'd think that I don't want to waste my time waiting. I'll just what I can do.

You would really have to weigh your priorities in life. If you would rather have lots of money then it would really involve pressure, hard work and stress but if you would like to live a regular life then there might be lesser pressure and stress.
Good for you because you have experienced both sides while some people do not even have a choice.

Hi ttzhu111! I was also in sales before. I had experienced all what you had experienced in sales job. I may say that, it is not an easy job because I always get to meet trials or having some difficulties to reach my quota. I'm also having a hard time, managing my tasks especially if I have to finish all that in just one day. But as time goes by, i'm starting to get used in all of those challenge, it's like it already installed in my system. But after a year doing the sales job, i finally quit and decided to take risk in finding a good and simple job. And now i finally found the right job, I'm now working at home doing simple typing job and i earned as much as i'm earning in my former sales job.

Hi,nafmdt,I guess I suffered the same as you did before.It's really not an easy job.There is also cheats in some business.Sometimes you need to get through hard times.As you mentioned,once you get used in all of those challenge,it's like it already in your system.
I think your present life is very exciting.simple but the same salary as former sales job.a little envy you^_^
Have a great day,my friend.

just a few lines to ponder on: all successful person has gone millions of trials and failure. you learn and then you cope. there's always a thin line between you learn because you failed and you failed because you did nothing. life is all about trials and rejections. without it is not living life after all.
