My True Story - "Never Give Up"

    The 1st January 2020 is the day that I started writing the blog and on 15th December 2022, I have got accepted in Adsense Programs by Google Adsense. It sounds easy. Doesn't it? For me, It doesn't. I have got rejected by Google Adsense about 10 times within these two years. I tried hard to find a good content that attracts the audiences, either in Cambodia or worldwide ones. Sometimes, I work without sleeping. Again, this success is not easy. Is it? This is just one moment in my life. Today, I want to share you one anonymous' story about me and you will see how the word "Never Give Up" is the key to success. What is weird about me is that there are five negative words associated with.

   [... In the beginning stage of my life (1996), “Betrayed” is the first bad word that I experienced. My first experience started when I was 6 years old when my best friend asks me to look at the final exam answer (which I do not know it is cheating at that time). After she copied it, she tore all my work and pretended as nothing happen. I was so scared and think whether I should report to my teacher or not. Feeling desperate, I decided to redo my work (Which I could complete about 60% of my previous work). She also hurt me at the end of the exam by saying that I am stupid and her goal is to become the best student in the class. Similar experiences happen to me again and again such as a situation where my teacher turns his pet to become school representative for national math competition in an unfair math competition, where my best friend steals my watch and pretend to help me look for it, where my classmate who borrowed my exam preparation papers and later stole them from me, where my roommate who pushed me into a pond during study trip, and where a teacher who destroyed my scholarship dream to Singapore after she intentionally put an enclose blank paper as my grade report when she failed to ask me for a large sum of money.

    Their actions impact my life and my thought drastically. I became a “solitude” and do whatever I believe is right. I tried to avoid in contact with people because I may seek people’s help or I may help others. First, I moved away from my parents and keep myself busy by enrolling in two universities for the same time. To deal with my expenses, I also started a part-time job. However, the job does not cover my school course and daily expense well. To fight back, saving and making less expense is the key. Later, I work as a full-time job in one construction company with enough salary for my expenses. It becomes a challenging task in my life to decide to quit one of my education paths or quit a job and ask my parents for help (which means the end of my independency). After probation for 3 months, I decided to quit the job and go back to my parents. Unfortunately, four days after I quit my job, my parents' house was totally destroyed in a case of arson. I realized that is too late to get back to a normal person again. My parents are needed a lot of attention. This is why I think "Money" is important to me.

    Time for education and time for money do not come together but I believe that I can have them all if I am greedy. I ask my parents to sell the land for money and rent a small house. I ask my parents to look for the house at a reasonable price. I started looking for a better-paid and stable job. I finally passed a national examination in the Ministry of Interior as a level B official. I also work as a part-timer in the minimart. My last role is as a student at 2 universities. I temporary dropped RUPP for one year in 2012. I work in the ministry of interior from 7 am to 11 am and from 1 pm to 5 pm, in minimart from 11 am to 1 pm and from 8 pm to 10 pm, I studied at RULE from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm. As I graduated in RULE, I started my education in RUPP once more.

    Failure is a word associated with my life. My only dream is to work with the organization that related to the degree I obtain (Finance and Education). I repeatedly applied for national examination in the Ministry of Economic and Finance 5 times in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2014 and a contracted lecturer in RULE 3 times in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The results are that I never get shortlisted. What even makes me a failure is that Since 2014, I and my parents never had an opportunity to buy a new house, but I never give up. I am always rebellious to all those failures. Until 3rd October 2016 and 6th October 2016, I miraculously received a phone call from the Ministry of Economics and Finance and Royal University of law and Economics respectively, that I have qualified for the jobs. More surprisingly, because of political instability that make the house price low in 2017, I was somehow managed to buy a house for my parents.

     Sad stories demotivated you from keep moving forward. If you feel that way, you have no power to continue. Giving up in difficult situation like this will never give you a chance to become successful. Through the lesson of life, even if the five selected words are negative but they are all very meaningful to me. It is not wrong or illegal to say it. Because being “betrayed”, I am able to become more cautious. Because being “solitude”, I am stronger and I am able to help others too. Because of becoming “greedy”, I am able to communicate with people and I am flexible, hard-working and multi-tasking. Because of “failure”, I am “rebellious”. Because of being “rebellious”, I always have hopes and never give up. I think for those who are always successful in a comfort zone, they may be the lucky ones, but they may be just like an empty-vessel and once they run out of their luck, they will never move forward...].
