Dik abang nak nasihat. One important thing I would like to highlight is that every career requires strong soft skills, especially resilience. Resilience is something that must be cultivated from within.
Yes, many fresh graduates often feel overwhelmed by demanding workloads, long working hours, limited personal time, and high levels of commitment. However, patience and perseverance are essential during the early stages of your career. As you continue to learn, adapt, and develop your professional skills, these challenges will become more manageable. InsyaAllah, what feels difficult today will eventually become part of your routine, even if your mental strength is still being tested at this stage.
Over time, you will progress through the ranks as you gain experience, seniority, and leadership skills. After all, in the corporate world, continuous learning never stops. Most organizations provide in-house training and development opportunities to help employees grow.
I was once in the same position as many of you are today. Sixteen years ago, when I started my career as a Jr. Exec. in a bank, I struggled with the pressure and expectations from my manager, who demanded the highest quality of work. At that time, I felt that I was already giving my very best, yet it still seemed insufficient. What I did not realize then was that producing high-quality work requires intense focus, dedication, effort, and experience.
As the years passed, those skills gradually became second nature. What once felt difficult eventually became routine. That is the value of experience..it cannot be gained instantly, nor can it be replaced easily. It is earned through perseverance, sacrifice, continuous learning, and resilience.
