Not all who wander are lost

I worked at SAA for many years and I was passionate about my job. I travelled the world and it was all good. After many years of doing the same thing, I got tired and it became monotonous. It started to feel like a specialized job. I started becoming frustrated working long hours and sacrificing holidays, missing out on family gatherings, parties, weddings and funerals. I didn't have a social life and now it was time for change. I realised that there was no growth for me at all. SAA  was no longer the same, I felt so lost and the passion was gone. I needed a challenge in my life.

Building strategic relationships with clients over the years helped me to be where I am today. While I thought I was lost and frustrated, I met Professor Dakora, who was a dean at CPUT's Marketing department. He encouraged me to come back to study. Complaining about a bad situation you are in doesn't help. It helps to do something about it. I came back to study and now I'm currently doing BTech in Public Relations.

Not all who wander are lost, everything happens for a reason and in good timing. I was at SAA for a reason and my time there was up. So another opportunity presented itself, opportunities are not lost you miss it and someone else gets it.
