At times I felt embarrassed while being asked the number of workplaces that I had gone through.
有时候当人们问起我此生换过几次的职场，我会觉得很尴尬，因为这毕竟不是很光彩的事件。

This is because the number would reflect how unwelcome I was to the bosses of my workplace.

员工多次的更换职场只能反映他不受他的上司爱戴和看重。

I could only murmured to those who asked me this question: " Seven."
对于这类敏感的问题我只能细声的回答：“七次。”

I would liken myself as a football being kicked around by 22 players in a soccer match. All the players have the same objective of kicking me into the net of their opposing team, little had they felt the agony sustained by me as a football; the pain of being kicked around and the feeling of being discarded as a child.

The fate of an employee is just like a football. The employer is like a player who would push his subordinate to the extreme to achieve the goal or objective of the organisation.

我喜欢将我自己比喻为一粒足球在一场球赛中任由二十二位敌我双方的球员踢来踢去，千方百计要将我踢进对方的球门。球员们根本不会感受到一粒球被他们用力踢的痛楚。更不会体会到一粒球被人踢来踢去那种被遺弃的感觉。员工是足球；上司是球员。正如球员不惜付出一切代价要将球送入对方的球门；上司为了公司的业绩着想，对员工的工作要求也絲毫不松歇。

A ball can be a jolly one if it has changed its mindset or a shift of paradigm. It could rejoice with the team scoring a goal by not taking side, by forgetting the pain he had to endure when it's being kicked hard into a net.

一粒足球被人踢来踢去是很痛苦的。可是如果它换另一个想法就不同了。譬如当它被某队球员踢入网中时，它可以随喜和分享进球的那份喜悦，而忘却被踢的伤痛。

Happiness is a choice of any individual if he knows how to look at things from the brighter side.

快乐是个人的选择。乐观的人会在痛苦寻找快乐的立足点。
