What Are You Optimistic About? The coursebook I use for learning English proposed me to write a paragraph answering the question 'What are you optimistic about?'. There were several topics to choose and I chose the first one as the most relevant for me right now. So, I'm going to tell you that I'm optimistic about my career. It really bothers me these days because of the situation in world economics. As a consequence of lockdown, many companies have to be closed or at least review their budgets and resources. Although I'm still a part of my company, I'm without paid work at this moment. Despite that, I think this time gives us a good opportunity to overview our skills and the situation in our profession. No doubt, only those who are flexible and ready to evaluate the new situation quickly and find an appropriate decision will continue to work in our, certainly, new world. I'm a bit apprehensive about starting to work on a new project after a long period of lack of working tasks. However, now I'm trying to do my best to improve my skills in order to be ready for the new job requirements. And although the pandemic end is still a long way off, I firmly believe that my company will find new partners and things will be better in the near future.
