Fist, I want to tell about my job.
I majored in Architecture at University for 5 years. When i was a high school student, It's difficult to choose a future major. The only reason that I decide to become an architect is nobody in my class choose it and I feel special. What a childish thought at that time. But now, I realise that It is an important quality when you work related to art that you always want to do everything in a special way.
What do you think about an Architect? You image to who always stay up late, have talent in painting, earn a lot of money or what? It's not about me. Like all other professions, there are only a few architects succeeded and become famous. I'm not a job lover but i love the way this job changed my mind. I was quite timid before. But now I become more sociable. I like observing everything and enjoy it. The saying I like best is "LESS IS MORE', the more simple the more beautiful. And I really love the feeling when people live in house is designed by me. My first design is my parent's house. I'm so happy when see how they proud of me. It was the most meaningful thing I did in my life.
There are also negative thing in my job. Sometimes you can't do what you like, you have to do what your clients or your boss like even if you think it's silly. I don't know in your country how people think about Architect but in my country the most of clients think that design is so easy, you just draw quickly and earn their money.

Hello Thuay. I would tell you something about my job: next year it will be 20 years from the day in which I found a very important job in Italy, where I live and 20 years of work aren't a single day or 20 days etc... Do you know what I want to tell to everyone, right? I don't am able to believe that I achieved it with a lot of wills : now I'm working in an important section how is the social security and so on, I'm not able to realize that next year it will be 15 years of work in that section......
In these years of work (it will be 20 years of work next year and also 15 in the section of social security, I prefer to remember it to you), I had also arguments with other people that weren't able to think good about me and in the month of September 2019 I changed from the section I was into the social security to another in which I feel more realized as person and last Friday (the 13th of December) I had a very great party with a lot of people that enjoyed a lot to be there with me. Next year I'll go another time to a party with social security members and I hope to be much more successful than this one and finally it's ending. Thanks to them I'm arriving to achieve another important goal in my life: to be much more social but without Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Linkedin......I prefer to visit new places and meet people that even if they don't speak Italian, I am able to talk with them using English. Another important goal will arrive if I will know everything of the most beautiful places here in Italy and in all the world..... I have no degrees but I'm realized all the same and my work is giving me a lot of new possibilities to learn and also to teach something to everyone who is in difficulty with its life or has a lot of problems to face up.
I think that all our jobs could be interesting if only us have a strong willpower and only with a strong willpower we will be able to achieve our most important goals in our life. Believing in yourselves, with a very strong personality and when you aren't in a good mood because your work is hard, think that time always changes everything by negative into positive or not: it depends only from you.
Happy Saturday and Sunday to everyone and I hope to hear from you soon.
toi cung vay, Thuy Tran. I like architecture too. I like to draw by my hand, but Autocad is more more comfortable and quicker than sketching by your hand. My grade was not enough to go engineering, so translation and teaching were an option to me. The love of design and drawing is still there. I still like that white helmet. Thanks for sharing an interesting topic.
There is a Vietnamese saying that mean " You don't choose your job, the job choose you". All job has valuable, the most important thing is you enjoy it.
