Speaking of dismissal is a bit outrageous, but I almost have no choice but to quit. Back then I worked at a salary of US $ 500-700, very safe and guilt had to change and there was no motivation to change. If I don’t have to quit my job, I might not have become the person of today. That is the predestined moment that created. “
