Correction

I want to share with you some touching point with me and my recent situation.  I have some great news to share with you and I am very excited, (it is very important to me).

I thought because my ability is not strongly for global company, so last two month(ses) months it was too hard for me to control my time, my work, my life.  3 months ago, we got a new client.  It is a multi-national company (MNC), a German one.  Their demands are so great, that it has really taken over my life.  It is so demanding that I don’t have a proper work-life balance.

And so I was unhappy for that situation. I have been very unhappy.

It is too hard for me to manage my objectives for every day, every to do list, what I should do for every day.  For what I should provide to our clients.  At that moment actually I got the feeling of that I hate our client, because we could not cooperate friendly and smoothly, but after three months the situation changed, now it’s better. than past three month(ses).

The process of the last 3 months I went through, I felt too tired, I didn’t want to communicate with my clients.  These last three months I have been so tired, to the point where I didn’t even want to communicate with my clients.

After three month(ses) we communication started communicating better, we worked with eachother, I started to know what they want and started to learn how to cooperate with them.

How to provide the correct situation to them and the feeling to me said to be need. We started to be in tune with each other, and I started to know what they wanted.

It was like the Gao Kao.  We have a writing topic, I went through these three months.  She wrote an e-mail, she appreciated me and I have similar interests with her.  I want to express that I am so happy today.  I am proud of myself because lots of clients I worked for them and they always provide the good reputation.
