I have been staying in the same company for the pass 3 years (2 actually offseting 1 year of unpaid leave during my pregnancy and delivery for <a href="http://prestonlee.blogspot.com">Preston</a>).<br /><br />There are many reasons for me making this decision. One of the many reasons is that I feel burnt out, burning out of energy, burning out of motivation. I know it feels like an ostrich by changing job and I know it does not solve the root problem.<br /><br />I don't know if this happens to all working people. The cycle is like:<br /><br />Proudly graduated and obtain a degree from some so called prestigious college or uni -><br />reseaching for resume templates -><br />start writing resume that you think looks great by -><br />Submit your resumes to almost all possible job openings hopinng to get a job -><br />wait.. wait.. wait -><br />Called for an interview and you feel so happy like you have striked 4D -><br />Got a job offer and you fee so happy like you have striked Toto -><br />First day of work... excited... motivated -><br />Love the job because you get to do something different from studying and getting paid or hate the job because it is not what you have expected-><br />... number of yrs gone by -><br />Think you are underpaid/overworked/the job is not challenging enough... -><br />Look for another so called better opportunity -><br /><br />... and the cycle goes on and on... And, admit it or not, that is the reality for almost everyone. It is a vicious cycle unless you break it through.<br /><br />This is very true because this sums up all the complains from their lifes from people that I know, from my ex-class mates or my ex-work mate...<br /><br />You simply cannot change the reality that you are working for someone and getting paid. Life needs to go on... You need to cling on<br /><br />So, are you making a living or designing a life?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8273455-116788016115946307?l=cyeelin.blogspot.com'/></div>cyeelinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12281862412660445631noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273455.post-1167726093549815062007-01-01T23:19:00.000-08:002007-01-03T06:19:40.666-08:00It is already the second day of 2007.<br /><br />Time flies and I realize I did not do much for 2006. What I mean is, I did not put in much effort to achieve my personal goals, just be a receiver than an initiator all the time. Looking back, Ranting and complaining about life was what I did most for the pass years.<br /><br />This year, I am going to do something different, I am going to write down my goals and new year revolution and I will do a review at the end of this year to see if i am just a dreamer or a real achiever.<br /><br />My 2007 New Year Revolution:<br />1. Read/listen to at least one book bi- monthly<br /><br />2. Pick up a new skill every quaterly, like Photoshop<br /><br />3. Take more photos of myself<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8273455-116772609354981506?l=cyeelin.blogspot.com'/></div>cyeelinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12281862412660445631noreply@blogger.com1
