Back in February 2015, I was a Virgo guy working in an ordinary company, and I was really eager for a promotion. At that time, I was constantly checking my career horoscope, hoping to get some positive signs.
I started my day-to-day work with extra energy. I got up early every morning, rushed to the office, and dived straight into my tasks. I took on more projects than usual. I mean, I just kept saying “yes” whenever my boss asked if I could handle something new.
I spent hours in the office, typing away on my keyboard, making countless phone calls, and having tons of meetings. I was like a machine that never stopped. I also tried to improve my relationships with my colleagues. I bought them coffee, joined their small talks during breaks, and helped them out when they were in trouble.
One day, my boss called me into his office. My heart was pounding so hard. I thought, “Is this it? Am I finally getting that promotion?” But it turned out he just wanted me to work on an even bigger project with a tight deadline. I was a bit disappointed at first, but I didn’t give up. I worked my butt off on that project, pulling a few all-nighters.
As the days passed, I kept waiting and working. Then, one Friday afternoon, my boss called me again. This time, he told me I was getting a promotion. I couldn’t believe my ears! All that hard work finally paid off.
Looking back, I think the career horoscope might have given me a bit of psychological boost, but it was really my own efforts that made the promotion happen. You can’t just rely on the stars; you gotta get up and do something about it.
