:: Three time's a harm? ::

Three rejections in a row. Wow. No party, really. Apparently being a good graphic designer who created good designs is not enough. There are times when outside influence will affect what you're doing, like the raise of printing cost, lucky competitors, back-stabbing friends (haha), cheapskates and customer's bad taste. However, I learned a lot now, being a freelancer. When I was working, my (former) boss was a very good mentor and he never ceased to taught me about style, taste, and good designs. I learned a lot from him as well, a magnificent designer that he is.-pause for applause-. But being a freelancer, I learned more on people-dealings. I will vote that all design school shall put Psychology 101, Human Interaction 101, and Philosophy 101 in their syllabus. Because those classes would have been very useful for me. I have yet the skill to hear what the clients NOT saying. Haven't got the skill yet to read between the lines. Have never been rejected like this before, 3 times! Nevertheless, maybe this is good, I finally have ME time. Time to design for MY own purposes. New paperie designs, my portfolio (gosh), re-arrange the bookcase that's starting to fall apart, clean my floor off design magazines... get myself a pair new shoes... (I love the last idea!), created 2 new blogs (LOL) ... Okay, so it's not so harmful. I'd love some quality time with ME, so yay! And I shall return even a better designer! With new shoes! HA!

When the time comes to choose between work and friends, which one will you choose? How much do you value friendships? If you were caught in the position between being a good worker and a good friend, which one you prefer? And what would you do if people that you considered as your best friends sabotage your career? I’m more disappointed than angry. Why would they do such a thing? What triggered them to even think about disturbing my life? Have I done any harm toward their career too? I am very sure I've never done that. Were they cornered by such situations that forced them to do that? Maybe 10 years are not long enough to make out a person’s character. My initial response was to confront them, but now that I think about it, I’d rather make my works as stunning as possible, so they’ll regret of ever doubting me. Oh, sweet revenge, here I come!
