Passion at work
As I am going to cross my quarter of a century mark, I cant help but looking back at the last 25 years of my life. I feel like I am at one end of the bridge which will link me to the other end, the other end where I have chosen to take just so that I can fulfill a childhood dream. My childhood dream to be in the healthcare industry serving the sick, to make full use of my skills and talents to outreach. But somehow I didnt take that route immediately after graduation, I was 'trying' out other professions for the last few years.
I am sure alot of people have gone through the same thing as me. At the end of it all, they realised that they still very much want to pursue what they wanted to do years ago or realised that their passion lies in somewhere else. Not all can change job as easily as me though, me whom have no financial burden or commitments to children and etc. Alot of them are still at their job working day in day out with not much commitment or maybe still waiting for a good offer to come.
Its their choice to stay (or maybe they don't have a choice as some would say), it still saddens me nonetheless coz alot of us spend a good deal of time at work and no matter how 'bochap' one can be, the things that happen at work would still affect an individual's emotionally (super bad day at work) or physically (long hours at work or er too much backstabbing at our poor backs).
It just makes me ponder, are the people close in my life happy at work? For those whom are reading this, are you happy? If not, are you finding ways to relieve yourself from this unhappiness? =) oh well..maybe one day when we meet up, you can tell me about it.
Even though it seems a blissful picture that I am moving to a dream job and all, I cant help but feel the fear sometimes going into a totally different working environment. Will there be flying daggers? or difficult patients that I cant handle? hmmm... lets just leave all this to God. Praying that I will shine through at the new job and may my presence benefit those that will be working with me and also those patients that I will be managing. =o)
