Thierry Henry completed a £16million switch to Barcelona on Monday, 25 Jun 2007, ended his 8 years career at Arsenal, scored 226 goals in 364 games. His contribution to Arsenal, English football and the audience will be long remembered.I always thought he, the captain and legend of Arsenal, would remain to play for Arsenal until he retires. Well, this is life, when you always think something is right or not gonna be wrong, it would pop and prove otherwise. That's why in operations we are always taught not to assume, not to act smart, not to apply our own knowledge and must counter check with different source.
Nothing will stay the same forever, so it's rational for me to leave after 3 years of services in opeations. Ha. Recently just told my boss I wanna 'internal transfer' to investment/product desk by this year and rejected her intention to keep me in operations until next year. My words were so firm and no point of return. Dunno where my courage came from, coz nobody dare to challenge or disagree with her. Basically I just told her I see no progress staying in operations and should waste no time to do something more challenging.
I am so relieved after telling her what I really want in my heart. I know myself best and operations is definitely not suitable for me. I had pondered very long before decided what I wanted to tell her, scared that she would screw me badly. Maybe some people would think I'm stupid coz we should not be so honest to our boss. Whatever not happy or disappointed should not let our boss know. Initially I also thought the same, but the longer I stay in operations, the more jaded I feel. I told myself I cannot continue like this anymore, why should I force myself doing something I dislike? Sometimes things cannot keep too long in the heart, must speak up without fear and hesitation!
