Queasy feeling
Well after the meeting on Friday, I have started to take a very major step in my career and life. I am quiting my 'stable' job and moving to free lancing. I will be taking up SAS projects and conducting training as well. This gives me time flexibility in pursuing my entrepreneurial pursuits. Love the idea a lot. :D
But today, after I have submitted my resignation letter. I started to have this queasy feeling. No idea what happened. Cannot be because I suddenly fell sick, cos I do not have the sickly feeling. The feeling is like something does not feel right. It took away my appetite for lunch, but luckily I was still able to finish it or else I would not have the strength to write this blog.
Very funny, I guess the only way I can attribute this queasy feeling is because I have moved from stability to unstability. Moving from certainty to uncertainty. No idea does most entrepreneur feel that way when they started out. Since young, my teachers have unwittingly tells us that we should study hard, get good results so that we can land into an ideal job and be set for life. But is that really true now? I do not think I am set for life. My degree did not get me an ideal job and i got to my present stage although I have followed the advice of my teachers, by studying hard and obtaining good grades.
People in my nation mentioned abt being able to work until you are in your 80s, but think of it. Do you want to toil and sweat for more than 50 years? 50 years is equivalent to 18,250 days leh. Minus the weekends and public hols in Singapore (18, 250- (50*(104+11))) = 12,500 days.
That is a lot. And the thing is during these days, you are not working for yourself, meaning the money does not go into your pocket. It goes to the bank, for your university fees (cars and houses if any) and the govt (Hei, you cannot pretend you do not need to pay tax, you know).
Give all these facts, I rather have more flexibility. Choose when I want to do, what I want to do with the least amt of restrictions. And i guess entrepreneurship (or free lancing for me) is the way to go although I might meet with a lot more restrictions when I just started but hei, they will be almost gone at the middle and for the rest of the pursuit.
At least I am able to do what I want to do and have concrete plans that will help me reach my vision of what I want to achieve in life!
Not a lot of people know what they want in life, and even if they do know, they are not able to step out and live the ideal life they want because of many reasons. Glad that I am the minority, able to know what i want and taking concrete steps to achieving it. Now crossing my fingers and hope I get to live the ideal life. Wish me luck!
Cheers!
