From the first day I applied for NOW-tv until now, there is around 2 months. During these 2 months I didn't try too much to persuade my mom to work on it because I understand that my conversation skill must be banned. I tried to go another big round loop to hit her starting from her sisters and colleagues. At the beginning, she is super rejected. No matter what we were trying to say she also thought that we were forcing her to do something she didn't like to do. So most of her colleagues even myself had already given up on this project because didn't want her to suffer extra unnecessary pressure. But there is one person, her youngest sister, Mukda, she kept saying that, "Don't give up, when the time passing by, I feel your mom is getting soften on it, keep move on and talk with the tv guy."
Therefore, I did make an appointment for today with NOW-tv. My mom, the tv guy and I had a breakfast together to talk about the background and progress. During the conversation my mom is not as stressful as I expected, she can talk and reply nicely to the tv guy without showing any hesitation. She had a lot of information inside her head but not willing to show everyone, unless someone request for her then she will explain everything nicely and honestly. Therefore, the tv guy asked something about her background, there is always has some stories behide even I'd never heard before.
There was a question about how make a chinese traditional salty-steam duck, she said that was all about her dad, my grandfather. He had his own recipe by putting little bit burned liquid sugar slab on the mixture so that would be a special taste on it. But due to the long infection from dad's side culture, she had never tried it again in here, just because this conversation brought her this memory. I think the tv guy was not just a promotor but also a good social worker, she was get used to control the touching mood and lead a person to think in a right way because after that my mom talked more about how her dad taught her the cooking idea and especially guided her why we have to do like this and why we can't. It linked a lot of emotional credits to break the rational not reasonable stubborn.
There is another question about are there any important challeges she did already overcome. At the beginning she said she had no any idea but at the end she thought the first day to work in Lufthansa was the most challeging to her. At the moment I was get shock as well because I understand start working in a new environment is hard but never be the most challeging task. But it really did for her. What she mentioned that at the first few months in Lufthansa she had never eat with colleagues but only just ate outside alone because she was afraid to stay with strangers and didn't know what to do with them. For a 40 something years old low education and without working experience woman, everything was just about family, all the people beside her were just about strangers. Working was just about money to support her family. Colleagues were just about tasks distribution to support her work. At that moment, I felt very pity to her because as if she is just a machine for life. But I think this is also a good chance to bring this problem out and finally she can face her own mental problem.
After the conversation, no matter it really works or not, I think this is really good for us to re-develop our mind and break our mental problems. Keep moving on!
I name this post as "first" because I believe it must have the "second".
