Wish all of us happiness. Thanks everyone who wrote before. This is my almost first time to write.
Anyway, I am so happy in every single day as a single mother, as a career woman, as a wise man, as a very good and smart solider to challenge myself every day.
我在一个当地的会计事务所工作。前天, 我和老板去一个客人AD的X-MAS晚会。 这个客人是一个MULTI百万富豪,我从三年前起开始负责他所有的6个公司,他的侄子的2个公司, 他的儿子的1个公司。在交谈中,我的老板对AD的律师说: 你看她,到一个外国,带一个小孩,10年之间,完全靠自己,多成功。。。。。。我当时也很谦虚了几句。我老板很成功,他是一个PARTNER,有9-10人为他工作。我在他这儿工作了3- 4年。他非常严厉。每天从7AM到9PM,如果忙的时候,6AM到12PM。我从来没有想到他会这样评价我。更让我高兴的事和感到的事在后面。AD对员工很好,每年都给每一个员工一个礼品。上一年就给我和我老板一人一瓶WINE。我进会场的时候,就看见一个超级大礼盒子。到了发礼物时,我就对AD说,不要给我了,我不DRINK。然后,他就给我说,今年,我不给你WINE,他就去把那一个最大的礼盒保起来给我,并说他很感谢我的工作。我当时很吃惊,没有去接。我老板很担心我拒绝,赶紧说: TAKE IT,TAKE IT。
我才去工作时。有一个音乐家客人告诉老板:可不可以给我一个ENGLISH GIRL,到今天,他和他的儿子告诉老板,他们非常满意我的工作,非常感谢我的工作。我的另一个MBA Consultant 客人也是如此. Now the clients respect me so much. The boss respects me too.
当天晚上,回家。我儿子替我打开门,第一句话:你客人送你这么大一个礼物呀。我说:一是客人好,二是你妈妈工作好努力。这是为什么妈妈经常都没有时间作好吃的给你的原因。
我老板还不知道我还有一个公司(和2个当地人合伙33股)已经6年了。他知道了会更吃惊。
If my ex-hu*****and doesn’t insist to divorce me, the best, I am going to be some one’s wife. But now, everyday, I have challenges waiting for me. I have a son who respects me so much.
我的孩子问我:妈妈,离婚了以后,什么事情会发生?
我说:我们就不能到处都打出租车,你的玩具会少一些。但是,我们会带走微笑去睡觉,带作微笑起床。
If there is something bad happened in you life, change it into a good thing. This is what I told my son. You don’t have a father with you, then you have a couple of choices. Cry, and feel sad for yourself. Smile, change it into your advantage. Try to do everything by yourself, to be able to take care of yourself, to be proud of yourself. Then to be able to help others.
What I did is : I came to another country, I learned the language, I learned accounting, I started my work from $8. But I am proud of myself, every $1 I made is much valuable than $1 million someone gives to you, even your family members.
This is what I told my son : you mama didn’t spend one day to try to fight with your father how much money he should give it to you. You mama used every single minute to study , to work and to do exercise. Because I come to this new country at 33, I don’t have that much chance. I would never waste my time to figure out how much money I can get from him. I will only invest into myself and you, and our family. I don’t even spend a single day to try to figure out if life is faire or not for me. I just start to control my life , to re-build my life from zero, not feeling sad for myself, no fear of the unknown world. JUST DO IT WITH JOYS and WITH CONFIDENCE.
Your mama works hard and smart, at least, we don’t have financial worries, although I don’t have time to prepare nice meals for you. But we do every day, go to bed with smiles and get up for each single beautiful day with smiles.
My son is in a private school, he is doing very well. When he was 13, I had an operation. I wrote my will to my brother. I didn’t tell anyone; just brought my son with me to go to hospital to have that operation. After the operation, my son took good care of me. He is so proud of himself. I told him, that is it. You changed a bad thing into a good thing. At such a young age, you know how to take care of your mama. He is 14 now, he is 183cm, oh my god, a lot of girls like him.
I am not successful; I am just so happy, everyday, every single day.
I hope next year, my own company could start to manufacture the last step of one product. So in this particular product, we can make higher margin. I hope I will have more complicated customers, or I have to learn higher level of corporate income taxes, like roll over and reconstruction……..I don’t have customers like this. I will continue to improve my English, spend more time with my son…….to do more exercise……..If I can lose 10 lbs………
我好幸福。
10 年前,我33,当儿子才3-4岁时,他爸爸要求离婚,我不同意。因为我22结婚 到33,只工作过2年,到以后基本上没有工作过。我都不知道如何生存下去。可惜,他一定要坚持。我就给他说,很多人为了离婚,像仇人。我们都是有很好情操的人。我们不要这样作。我只要一个条件:儿子。他知道我对孩子很好。我儿子生下来,有一定问题,为了照顾孩子,我3年没有照过镜子。有一天,我照了镜子,我根本不能相信自己。那一个美丽的姑娘去哪了?我请他把我们已经快办完的移民办完。他把我和儿子送来后,他就会中国了。Then, I started my life here, all by myself with all the best support from my family, particularly my mother. My parents took care of my son for 3 years.
