Orange!


I promised myself that this year would be about taking on new challenges. Facing my fears. Expanding my capabilities. Overcoming my shortcomings.

And most importantly taking up challenges I conveniently avoided. Until NOW.

So here I was before the Orange outlet. Soaking in the vibrancy of the colour. More so the people. The technology. The care, attention, precision and legality it demands.

This was also a bid to overcome and totally get rid of my recently acquired shyness and inhibition and my, I won't exactly say, lack of confidence, rather my predisposition to just hold myself back so as to avoid embarrassment and a preference for going unnoticed rather than attracting too much attention.

Coming out of my 'Comfort Zone', so to speak, in 'Self Help' terms.

Anyway, my first day as a sales advisor. A lot to take in.

New people. New environment. Totally new and unfamiliar gadgets. Newer customers. All hopefully befriended. Some realistically.

A new beginning.

An admission of ignorance.

But, also, a willingness to learn.

i knw what you are talking about...feeling shy is alright...even if yr perceived as someone who might not...this is the problem...just because we a lot and express a lot and are loud sometimes doesn't mean we're not entitled to feel shy...its normal..ive felt uncertain of opening up to extremely new ppl at times...i knw the feeling.. :)
