Loving your job

Tonight is a great night, it's great simply because I had a chance to meet up few friends, and it's mid-autumn night. Where mooncake festival always associated with family gathering together, we tried something different, by gathering ourselves in a not so well-known cafe. (didn't bring my camera, but the whole night they only served us..for total of RM26.40!!)

We chatted how times flew away, and like usual, what and where we are heading to. We own the same profession, trained in the same institution, shared the same peers but as time goes by, we are drifted apart, flown to own destiny and creating our own niche and future. Some married, some just broke off, while me still remaining loyal (hehe.. she is the best gift ever ma..).

Our main topic is how we love our job (but got bored)... how we enjoy (but got fed up)....how we treasure our job (but wanted to leave).. Confused? We are even more. You see, our job is sort of like our destiny. We never have to seek for job once graduated, leave alone to write job application or interviews. We never got to choose our boss or where we wanted to work. We never have to ask for how much to be paid. Forget about experience, our CGPA, our social skills, or whether we understand English or not, we are paid the same. Equal. And we will got promoted, regardless of our performance.

Sounds easy yet dull? (can make a guess what we are?) Because of such a 'do-not-have-to-think' career we have, how can we not love it, yet not got bored?
I found that most of us in dilemma. A part of our inner voice told us.."U r stupid if leave..coz what you want finally in your life? An easy life and securing career...and why seek elsewhere when you are having now?" While another part of our inner voice screaming.."U r stupid if you stay..when you die, can you recall what have you done in your life..nothing".

Studies shown, most...(of course with exception) workers will get aroused (or excited) for the first 6 months of work, followed by a feel of calm for the next 2 years and finally will get bored when reaching the 3rd year. If he or she seeks another job, the cycle will come again. Come and go, come and go...pop!! we are at retirement age. Hai, as the saying goes.."human got how many 10 years?"

How many ten years do we have?

I am not suggesting to change your job frequently, in fact i am not suggesting anything. Just ask yourselves how much do you love your job? Perhaps, just follow your guts, cause we never know where we will end up. And no matter where, remember, no regret!!


To my friends out there, no matter where we end up, 5 years down the road, we shall gather again..haha. Maybe try other cafe. :) Happy mooncake festival...

Happy mooncake festival...!!
