Thinking back, I had a difficult time with my mother and my relationship with her was quite distant. There was a clear distinction of favouritism and my aunt will always point it out infront of us kids. As time passed, I have learnt to accept that fact. 

But one day, I finally decide to change my mindset and behaviour (paradigms shift happened- you can read more in the book '7 habits of highly effective people') - I started to view and do things differently, emphasised on positive words/actions, little things such as welcoming my mom when she is back from work & always with a smile. After a year or so, it definitely worked out well because right now I don’t know if I can sleep a night without giving her goodnight hugs and kisses!

What I’m trying to show here is, farming takes time and be patient (trust the process!) 

This can be applied everywhere: relationship building, finding jobs, sharpening your technical/soft skills ,investing in talents in your company and coaching/guiding your staff as a manager. 

Understand that this is a long game, like many companies investing in talents especially into fresh graduates/mid career switchers, companies will mostly be rewarded based on how quick they are in picking up things. Recently I’m starting to notice number of my clients/companies are opening up more opportunities to fresh pair of eyes, it’s certainly a good change for a start that could potentially bring diversity and creativity!
