I have no business acumen. I've absolutely no business foresight, no business expertise, no business sense even after working for 3 years in an industry that provides assurance on businesses' financial results. I realise that I've only become more inquisitive and enjoy walking faster than anyone else during peak hours. Other than that, I know nuts about doing business! This came to my realisation a couple of days ago when I attended my first meeting in my new job. A meeting with the people who know business.
It was scary. Not the meeting, but the feeling of not knowing something that you ought to know. Something you should be able to have gut feeling and set your foresight on. It isn't in me. I felt so raw, so incompetent, so arrrghh... demoralised. Not that my bosses are expecting all these from me within my first few weeks, just that it wasn't a good feeling. I know all these can only be acquired through years' of experience, but arrrggh! Frustration, frustration, frustration!!! :(
Can anyone tell me where can I buy The Complete Idiot's Guide to Business and Banking?
! Urgent, please revert asap or I need to call for a meeting.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Give yourself some time to catch up. Take it easy my friend... Sometimes ignorance can be a bliss...
NOoooo!!! Boss says being ignorance or/and gullible is not excusable... she just said it this morning.
