I've been working with English for 5years since my graduation in 2007. Now I am a full-time translator in the current company which is my second job. I worked with a great passion in my first company though have so many works to do every day, and I have to spend 2 hours at least on the road. During thoses days, I worked vigorously every day and I felt self-esteem. But now, I'm in a state-owned company which considers talent as who has prop from the upper institution, no one cares ur ability but ur background. I tried hard to improve me in order to obtain the same self-esteem as in my previous company. But unfortunately, My translaton work especially the paper work had been seen by no one, it is just a certain thing which should be there, so I have no passion at all. For some reasons, I cannot let go at present, but I do will go out for my dream someday. So do u think passion is the first thing for work? By the way, there r four old men in my office who r talking about the low-income, low self-insurance over and over again every single day. I hate hearing them repeat eveyday, how can I ignore them?
