Another consultation

Im always grateful and thankful that i have supportive friends around me who stand by my side whenever i needed them, who respect and support whatever decisions i make.

My dear friends have been asking me hows work etc, and i have been telling them the same thing with the same ending "im not happy". Hahaha!

Received several comforting lines hoping that i could look on the brighter side, think positively, and most of all, they support my ultimate decision.

All the consultations and supports have given me stronger perseverance to take up the new challenge, overcome this probation period and till then, make a decision.

I have a friend who told me that he had changed 20++ odd jobs (at the age of 24 now), longest being 6mths and shortest 3days. People especially employers might look down on him when they asked about his reason behind all the job changing, but he doesnt really care. Same mentally as mine, we are still young, we can afford to take the risks of changing jobs before we are tied down by our age, family and the commitments we have. Why waste time getting tied to a job you dislike at such a young age?

Though it might be true and yet not a sensible decision especially when people are trying their best to put in more effort, climbing to the top level, earning as much as they can from their employers, hoping to have an early retirement blah blah blah..

But i cant help but think, is this our true happiness? Is climbing the corporate level, earning as much as we can our real objective in life? Or are we following blindly?

Chris have been telling me about the SG education - we are taught to follow instead of the real meaning of education. We are "polluted" by negative thoughts and desires, we are "cultivated" to aim for the degree without knowing why we should. In other words, people do so, i also do so.

Guess some of his points are right. A lot of uni grads cant think, coz they are not trained and brought up in an environment that allow them to have such habits of questioning themselves what they want instead of what they should. We are brought up in a culture to just follow. Students here are trained to get good grades which sadly speaking, is not the real element of education.

After all, I think in whatever decisions we make, whatever path we take, we should be at least supportive of our own actions without regrets. Coz ultimately, we are the ones that make the final decision and walk our life, not the "environment" thats walking our life.
