Dear diary

Another chance?
Don't judge a book by its cover.
You would read it in several profiles from many, however when you realise the fact, most of them does that.
What would come to your mind when you see a group of youngsters, with tattoos and piercings speaking loudly? society thrash.
They're just people who idle around not making any purpose with their lives.
On second thought, have you ever asked yourselves, why are there people like this, I would admit some are of their own accord, however what about those who are not?
They're forced, to idle around, breaking the law and maybe a criminal.
Why?
Simply because the society aren't able to welcome these people back, people are not willing to give them a second chance.
It's just a convenient excuse to turn these people down from jobs opportunity, "leopards never changes it's spots."
Think twice, if these people haven't try, how would you know?
There are miracles in this world, just that have you ever try, obstacles between people makes miracles impossible.
Ivan, an 'O' level graduate, several experiences for sales, now currently working as a sales promoter at a local shopping mall, 6 days a week, from 10am to 10pm, he is hard working, obviously working longer hours than people sitting in their comfortable offices, however he get paid only $1500 per month the most.
On the other hand, an university graduate, without any experience, got offered a $2500 a month, 8am to 5pm work at local prestigious company as an supervisor, complains about the low salary, how small his personal office is, and many small little detail, without realising how many people out there are hoping to have this cozy office, with a lesser pay and a longer working hour.
People just doesn't get satisfied.
Ivan was a smart kid, during his younger days. Just because of a wrong choice, quits school and messed with the wrong company, which many named as gangsters & hooligans.
Nobody looked up on Ivan anymore, they just see him as a society trash.
Now that Ivan whom had turned over a new leaf, went for jobs interview in several company in town, went to every single company in the newspaper, many turned him down upon acknowledging that he was only an 'O' level graduate.
Without a choice, Ivan had to turn to become the sales promoter, standing up most of the time at his work place, wearing the same dress code to work. He was sick of working, however thriving hard for a better future.
What if, a company agreed in employing him, I'm sure Ivan would be as successful as many of the graduates in Singapore, obviously a better future awaits him.
With the help of the advertisements of employing the ex-convicts, some understood that many of them would be a great help, however many still not willing to give them another chance, and accept them.
Hoping that in the coming years, companies would employ workers like Ivan, hard working, willing to learn and accept his fate without complaining..
