It's been a while since my last post primarily due to work taking over my life and not wanting to spend the few precious moments away from work sitting in front of a computer. The last month has been incredibly tough, resulting in endless soul searching over what I truly want from my life. Hong Kong is a tough city to work in. In the past, I have always had confidence that I have been good at my various jobs and an asset to any company I have worked for, suddenly I find myself engulfed by a sense of failure and an inability to achieve. With my character being tested to the limits, every single day I am torn between battling on or walking away.
David and I are very fortunate that in the short time we have been here we have made some close friends and got to know our Hong Kong family - Uncle Neil and Uncle Paul - all of whom have been an invaluable support through the past challenging month. The words of Uncle Neil, ring in my ears daily:
"Hong Kong is a city of survivors - people who have been through some very difficult times without succumbing - they respect survivors."
As a Hong Kong veteran of over 50 years, and a highly successful business man, I know Neil talks sense. So, this is becoming my daily mantra to remind me to keep fighting, to stick with it and remain positive that all will turn out well.
