Good morning, valuebuddies.
It's so nice to wake up to a cool morning and I wish everyone a good day ahead.
Valuebuddies might noticed that I had scaled down quite a bit in vb.com as an opportunity open up for me and I took up the challenges and hence not able to post more news update moving forward.
I had a enjoyable journey in vb.com and it's a hobby for me to read vb.com and so I will continue to benefit from all the post you created here.
Thanks in advanced.
In response to Speculator's post on luck - something like if it's what you experienced and it's successful to you, then you earn the right to keep your arguments - which is what I understood and 100% inlined.
My view on luck is very simple, Luck a lone, contributed a whopping 2/3 aka 66% of success.
Of course, that does not means that one should only put in 1/3 of efforts when we are aim for a kill. Rather, what I actually meant was all the 100% (or some serious valuebuddies says 110%) effort was actually contributing to 1/3 of success. The remaining 2/3 of success is your luck.
Tell you my story. I was given an impression that having a professional certification would help a lot in our career advancement. I'm not sure whether this is applicable to your home country or your job role and that's exactly how I started - a lot of uncertainty.
Hardwork began for me as I scout for the most respectable professional certification in my industry. A lot of good certifications that gives good pay - but this "pay" thingy is not my criteria as most of our valuebuddies had enough $$$ to last a life time. For me, the #1 criteria must be new, advanced and ever-lasting
I zoom in and gotten a few certificates in Big Data/Data Analytics, CyberSecurity and Cloud. Nothing really happen actually after I gotten all these professional certifications.
Then, I had a change in work site and under the new pairs of eyes (management), suddenly, my professional certifications become interesting. After a few hint hint here and there, an opportunity opens up - and as the saying goes - the rest is history.
I must says that I had benefited a lot from vb.com and that was the reason why when I noticed that the posts here dropped significantly, I started to share my travel stories. And when C19 happened aka we stopped travelling, I switched and started more posts on corporate announcements.
I benefited from all your posts and I really appreciate all the help you had given me.
Gratitude.
