Graduation

A few days ago, my friend started at his new job.
He sms-ed me about his first day at work (which I am almost 100% sure that another 50 of his friends would have received the same message)

Slightly irritated at first because his first day of work has got nothing to do with me except we could ask him for a treat and he would no longer be that poor student which he claims to be.

However, he made me thought about how i felt when I got my first job.
1) I am going to be the brightest, shining, shimmering star in the entire company
2) I am going for overseas assignments and is going to see the world through my new job
3) When this company is facing a crisis, I will be the keyperson to save it
4) I can tell my friends and relatives how wonderful my job is, proudly.
5) I can be a manager in 5 years

I had nearly forgotten about all those emotions when i got my first job. Although I left it in less than a year, I learnt many things from it.

I wish my friend a wonderful and fruitful career.
And never to forget the hopes and ambitions that he had at the first day of work through all the ups and downs in his career.
