"know when to walk..know when to walk..know when to walk..away"
havent blogged in ages, been super busy at work (okai, no i am lying) but i have been super busy ruminating over work, life, politics, etc.
Working is just too hard, and the more I think about it, the more I feel I should be a travel writer or join some social service, or just study further.
Come to think of it , i dont think you can really truly madly deeply love work. Can you? C'mon stop and think, are you enjoying your work? Now now, dont give your self all that bull crap about its a learning experience, it'll add value in the future. Admit it, you just work for pay cheques . You and i we both do.
and on all days, when you get up and go to work and leave work with a smile, your just rationalizing, .. your rationalizing that effort you just put in.. when the truth is when you do what you really like, there is no effort, there is no need to rationalize.
Don’t get me wrong though, I am not lazy, and I have ambition... oodles of it! There is just no drive, which in my opinion is different from ambition.
So how do we know when we like our work? You dont, you just figure it out. In my opinion, you never get there; you just jump from one job to another (let compensation justify most of your descions). Its kind of like relationships, when your in one, you always feel there is something better out there.
But, the silver lining here is uncertainty and restlessness that comes with this, which allows you to make sudden decisions which will impact you lives and makes you a better person.
Problem is ..., how do you know when you are making the right decision??

Umm...lemme say that not all people work "just for paycheques" :)
My company pays me peanuts...thats what I think...and I am sure everybody thinks the same :)
The difference is what do you perceive of your job...I am doing what I am doing because I want to prove something to myself...a failure here would bruise my ego...and badly...so I work to prove my worth to myself...and to satisfy my ego...one suggestion...try finding some challenge in your job...and you will "enjoy" your job :)
hey.. i like my job (which is different from what i mean is work).. 'm just not sure if this is what i want to do for the rest of my life...
:)
Life is long...u will get enuff and more opportunities...jaise i will get into organic farming "one day"...
Live On and Dream On ! :)
Hey very seriously, I think that way and wonder if I am lazy, but then I know the day I do what I enjoy doing I will be a millionaire. I guess farming it is for me too. and have been thinking qiute seriously on it So what is the solution now that you have raised the topic??

For me the problem is this...we "think" too much and then end up "doing" very little of what we "think"...have been ruminating over this paradox for quite some time...and the more you think...more you get entangled...as of now just one solution that comes to my mind...go with the flow ! Let LIFE spring surprises, situations, opportunities et all...why plan at all?
@ Rejoy: i wrote this with no solution in mind, hence i shall too succum to the "go with the flow". (btw doesnt this sound like one of thoes chai session conv. in the canteen)
@destiny: i like optimism from life, its a killer attitude.. i live by that mantra, its only in this space where i crib. :)
Hey it does...Also the day we decide to do the chai session we somehoe dont..haaaa I guess going with flow it is..but I dont how long I will survive the flow before i give in to the temptations of my mind

I feel the reason y ppl hate their jobs or anythin for that matter is that they expect too much from life. And to top that they take themselves too seriously. Jus think abt the ceo who comes homes everyday feelin ecstatic abt the deal he closed only to realise that the man who controls crores cant control his naggin wife and his kids who dun listen to him. Isnt work the onyl place where he would get some satisfactioni think everyone works to create an identity, which they otherwise lack in their personal life. They dont know that its not he who is respected but the chair. The day he loses the chair, he loses everythin. Conclusions, mans pursuit like all is fruitless. But yet we find meaning in nothingness, isnt that what is life all abt. ZERO!!! The only entity with no value in itself but changes the value of eberythin that it attaches itslf with. Well dats wat we all are. ZERO
H
working for identity?? true... btw nice analogy with the zero..
"mans pursuit like all is fruitless" couldn't agree more!!
But what the hell, there's no way out now!
