If you have high expectations you leave yourself vulnerable and open to great disappointment. When I started this blog I thought it would lead to instant success and that didn’t eventuate. I’ve learned to not get too excited about the future when it comes to my data entry position. Sure, it’s a great job now but it may not end up being the fantastic long term career choice I thought it was going to be. Working from home can be fun but I have to keep reminding myself that things can change at any moment and I could be forced on to the street to die in the gutter.
If I expect the worst during any situation I will usually be happy with the outcome. I may very well be the most handsome data entry operator in Australia at the moment but I shouldn’t fool myself into believing that this situation can’t change in the blink of an eye. When I stumbled upon the opportunity to perform data entry from home I was over the moon and I have to keep reminding myself of how it felt in the beginning so I don’t ruin everything in the end. Am I making sense? Do you get the general idea of what I’m talking about?
