Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Friends:

    You should not work in Audit. It is only about ticking boxes.

  • How I responded:

    Always listen to yourself. If your job makes you happy, you will be good at it. It is not about convincing others that they also like your job. Only your own opinion matters.
