In a domain like blogging where many blogs come and go, this is something that could only happen after relentless hard work and giving genuine value to others. PE is a leading authority in personal development with over a million pageviews a month. Today, it’s been almost seven years on this path. ![]() So Sep 30, 2008, I left my job (right smack at the start of the 2008 Asian Financial Crisis no less) to pursue my purpose and passion in life: to help others achieve their highest potential in life and live their best lives. This is something I have to pursue no matter what. For me, my tears were due to sadness of leaving behind the great relationships I had formed in the company to pursue my real passion. Informing my boss about my resignation was an emotional experience, with me bursting into tears and her tearing up (in a private meeting room of course). I was 24 then and had worked there for two years. I wrote this and handed it to my boss in Jul 2008. I have no doubt that we will continue to stay in touch and hope that the team will continue to have wonderful times. It will be a challenging path ahead, but as Randy Pausch puts it, ‘Brick walls are there for a reason - they let us prove how badly we want things and to keep out others who do not want it enough.’ Now, I feel it is finally time for me to move on and devote myself to pursuing my purpose with the same fierce passion and conviction (if not more) that I have done for P&G in the past. The challenges I have faced in the course of work have undoubtedly made me a stronger and better person and have definitely better prepared me for what is up ahead. It has truly been an eventful past 2 years for me. This was after I signed the job offer in Sep 2005 but before I joined the company in Sep 2006.) In light of the fork roads before me then, I decided to put my purpose on hold first and join P&G, to experience its critically acclaimed trainings, rich learnings, growth opportunities, and dynamic culture - that I received, and a whole lot more. (Celes: I discovered my life purpose in about May 2006 as I’ve shared in my purpose story. My life purpose has taken a different turn in the past few years, between after I accepted my P&G placement offer and before I entered the company. I consider just about everyone I have met here to be great friends of mine now, and I will truly miss you all. I have always related with fervent passion to everyone that one of the key highlights of P&G is really its people - extremely intelligent, diverse, and assertive individuals who are at the same time spontaneous, positive, and growth-oriented - traits that I take personal pride in upholding as well. Thank you for the professional and personal development you have assisted me with over the past year. I would like to inform you that I am resigning from my position as Assistant Brand Manager in P&G. This was the same letter that officialized my departure from the corporate world and my pursuing my passion. Last year I was spring cleaning and found my resignation letter to my previous company. The envelope is all yellow now as it’s been nearly seven years! (Image: Personal Excellence) ![]()
