i just finish study, while waiting for a good job. i help my mum at her shop. one situation that i hate to see. when this people gather and they like to gossip and tell how good their son/daughter.
what if u have very famous mum in neighboor hood, people always see your family, it kind hard to satisfied the society.
already graduate, still looking for the suitable job with your degree.
i dont like when they always said when they will be calling .
its like, if u finish study , immediately u get better job. it can happen if your grade is good enough until many company want u, what if your grade is just average
society can make u so depress i think

Good grades will give you great opportunities after you graduate but, trust me, most of these companies won't give you that good of a pay once you start working. My advice, start working on your grades and choose the right company for you.
As for the people who gossips around your shop, people gossip all the time. You'll grow numb around them once you get used to it. Although, never take any gossip from anyone. If they tell you gossip of someone, remember that it's possible that they're talking about you too.

Don't feel about it, though. Once you get used to the work easily, you'll start to feel that motivation running through your veins, empowering you to be competitive. This feeling will cause you to rise up above the rest.

Hi,
I know the feeling, my relatives used to compare me with my sister, it feels awful when nobody sees your own capability and personality because everybody wants you to be like someone else. My sis will always be my their favorite, i cant change that fact, but i never give in to what they wanted me to be. I learned to do things the opposite way she does. And I'm happy about it, I found out that I can also be the best in my own way. I don't care if they don't recognize my own abilities anymore as long as my parents and the people I work with does.

Time to count your blessings. Many people your age have no jobs at all, thank goodness you are in a family business. Look for this to be on the job training, things you learn in life but not taught in school. Try to look at the business and see where new eyes, yours, can improve the business, maybe just a little more customer service, a different way to display the goods. Don't listen to the gossip, pay attention to what you can do for the business. You are there for a reason, that you may not see until years later, that's how life works. Blessings

Ignore those gossipers.
Besides, why mind them- there is nothing they can help you with but to gossip and say things that they never really know at all.
I don't mind those people- or the society- as long as I am not doing wrong or hurting anyone, I lived my life as I want.

I still have a few years before my graduation. I should be gradiuating already but because I shifted to a different course recently, I will have to first deal with the pre requisite subjects to get to the other subjects and finish it. I really want to have it in one go. You know.. Take the subjects in one semester. But I have to go with the rules which is really so annoying. THen again I don't even know what I will be doing once I graduate. Should I work? Or just start myown business? Anyway... back to what you were talking about. I tend to get compared a lot especially when I was in my high school. I really hate it. COmparing me to someone "better". Then there are parents who just can't accept the result of their children's grades when these grades can be considred fair enough. Not a mere pass but maybe satisfactory enough but not excellent. Everything just have to be excellent for them. They are just sugar coating that "It's okay as long as you did your best". Makes me feel so irritated.

i think that's true "society can make you so depress." but don't be affected of that as long as you know that your on the right track. I also feels bad of being compare to someone. I feel that everything I have done is still not enough for them. But I just stand tall and do my best. I believe that I am not born to satisfy the society, I am born to satisfy God. and as long as your doing it in a nice way God is satisfied. :)

We can't really do anything about these things. We just need to believe in ourselves, and with a little perseverance, a little patience and a bit of hard work, we would also be successful in life. Grades can help you get a job, but nowadays, employers also look at the traits of the person. They look for qualities that are needed in order to perform the job better. Like for example not all those who have high grades can handle pressure, or is a practical thinker, or is good in thinking outside the box.

Don't be pressured with what others may say about you. The important thing is you are doing something to make for your future. So not mind people who might be talking bad about you or people who might be putting you down. Take it as a challenge and show them that you are definitely not what they think you are. Your right time isn't that far away.

It is not good to hear from other people to compare each other. We have different destiny and it is not healthy. You just ignore the people who are full of themselves.

Never mind them. It is not them who will help you actually with your problem with regards to you being employed. They do not have any use at all. Ah,I think there is. They are your motivations actually in pursuing to look for a suitable job for you. Dont't be too deppressed just focus on your goal and do not get tired. Soon enough you will be employed.

People are people and we can not question them why are they people for we are people too. Whew.. lots of people here in my sentence, anyway your target is society so it is a bunch of people too. LOL so people again. It is okay, even if you are compared to you famous mom, it is inevitable. Turn it into positive, like, thinking of course she is my mother, one day I will become her too. Make it positive by doing your best in all the tasks you need to do and finish. Make it a quality one. Grades are just number. It is not really so essential. Some successful people didn't even finish their studies. So why be bothered about it. Go and look for your place therein, you will find it and you will excell in it. Cheer up! They are just neighbors not so significant people in your life.
