Morning with Mandy

I was working in call center before. Our supervisor at the same time our trainer instructed us to do a talk show by pairs. And guess what? We only have few minutes to prepare it! I named the show Morning with Mandy. I as Mandy and Faye as Faye Parker.

Mandy:
Hi everyone! Welcome to another episode of Morning with Mandy.

Do you believe that successful woman in her career is a loser when it comes to lovelife? I don’t know. We’ll find that out with our very special guest, the current CEO of the largest telecommunications company in Asia – Globally Smart Communications. Ladies and Gentlemen, let’s welcome the beautiful careerwoman Ms. Faye Parker!

Hi Faye! Have a seat please. How are you today?

Faye:
I’m feeling really good right now.

Mandy:
Wow, we can see that because you glow! What do you think is your asset for being chosen as the new CEO?

Faye:
Well, my secret to that is doing the best with my job all the time. I’m working very hard that sometimes, I don’t have time for my family.

Mandy:
Really? But with the success that you have right now, lots of people envy you. We’ve heard about you and your husband. Is the divorce really final? I hope you don’t mind me asking.

Faye:
It's fine. Actually it was already done, we are now legally separated. He doesn’t understand my job. But, I do understand him.

Mandy:
Oh, that must have been very frustrating for you sometimes.

Faye:
Yeah, sometimes.

Mandy:
Have you ever thought of having your family back?

Faye:
Yes. But not right now, although they are my inspiration as I am at the peak of my career.

Mandy:
What is the significance of your career in your life?

Faye:
Well, it has a great significance because it’s like a dream coming true. It is the sweet fruit of my bitter labor. Because of it, I am continuously learning at the same time sharing what I have learned to others.

Mandy:
So, can we say that you chose career over love for your family?

Faye:
Yes, partly. It is because while I’m doing good with my job, I didn’t realize that my family is chaotic already. But still, I love them and I have achieved all of these because of them. It’s just that sometimes we have to be hurt in order to be happy. That’s what happened to me.

Mandy:
Very well-said! We’ve learned a lot from you Faye. Again Congratulations! Thank you very much. I am very honored to have you here. Good luck to your career!

Luckily, I have never a choice between my lovelife and my career, but have any of you? If so, what did you choose? And if you did not, how would you weigh things to make a decision like this?

Be careful. Goodbye.
