secret of my no success

Have you ever put so much effort into something, only hoping for some glimpse of recognition? Ever gone above and beyond, over and over again, only to be blown off - over and over again? As if your aspirations are simply not significant enough to be acknowledged?

Try as I might to dazzle, impress, or catch the glimpse of someone's - anyone's - attention continues to go amiss. How much longer can I, or should I, endure this determination? Does the "rat race" ever get easier? Do I need to reach a certain age? Dress a certain way? Is there a secret to success in the corporate world that I missed in my first day of training?

There are days when I feel like I am finally gaining headway and moving closer and closer to becoming the successful career woman I so desire to be. And then there are days like today when I feel like my endeavors towards the upper crust of the corporate world are those of a naive girl, whose efforts and hard-work are just being taken advantage of.


OK, that's my "waaaaaaaaah" post for the month.
