What’s your hook line?
Recent Life Events
“I’ve been busy studying for my CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) exam for the past few days. My paper is on Tuesday and I’m trying my best to cram as much information as possible.. Luckily there’s a long weekend for me to study..”
The other day I was attending a course and something struck me – the trainer was asking this question “What’s your hook line?”. That is, what is ‘interesting’ about you? It’s like a pick-up line but instead of picking up girls, it’s a line that you tell people something interesting about yourself.
I used to have something interesting about me… I picked up photography, I write blogs, I sing, I dance, I always like explore new places to look for good food… But now, all these things seems to have fade away since I’ve started working. All these working and studying has really been taking up a lot of my everyday time… I think I’m trapped in the journey of attempting to climb the corporate ladder.
It’s about 10.5 months since I started working and I guess I’m more or less stabilized and familiarized with my working life. (but sometimes there are a few surprises here and there)
I think it’s about time to resume some of my used-to-be passions. Although it may not have any tangible ROI (return-on-investments), it makes your life more interesting and fruitful. There’s actually intangible returns from all these.
It’s time to learn to find time…
