You think being a housekeeper would not help you save face? How about a janitor? Still not enough? Then think about other jobs you could do, and examine yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Afterward, if you think that keeping this job is better than being a housekeeper or a cleaning lady, then just keep doing what you are doing.

Try living as a monk for 100 days. Get up at dawn to pray, clean, wash dishes and work all day. When you go to bed exhausted at night, another day will begin in no time. Living like this may open your eyes and give you wisdom. If 100 days is not enough, then try another 100 days. If that is still not enough, try another 100 days. One year may open your eyes, and three years may change your entire perception of life. Afraid to fall three years behind? Living like this for three years will actually save you much more time than wandering about your entire life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are not able to say \u201cgoodbye\u201d to your job, then make yourself change your mind.

I want to quit my job, but everyone around me says to hold out because it\u2019s hard to enter a major company like this, especially since it is so difficult to get a job these days. And it\u2019s a kind of job where women can work for a long time as well. But going every day feels so painful I don\u2019t know what to do.<\/strong>

\nQ: When I am about to go to work in the morning, I am so distressed that I want to cry. I break down into tears at work, feel pathetic, and I feel a pressure on my chest when returning home. I want to quit my job, but everyone around me says to hold out because it\u2019s hard to enter a major company like this, especially since it is so difficult to get a job these days. And it\u2019s a kind of job where women can work for a long time as well. But going every day feels so painful I don\u2019t know what to do.<\/strong>
