2 years of nothing !
When I see my first post of that precious letter (offer letter one !), I feel jittery about it. The reason is simple enough, I haven't done much in the line of work in these 2 years ! I joined to serve, to become a good professional in terms of work that I do, work that should have been more interesting and fun. The tasks now I do is to check out mails, get nagged by a few users on the phone and then , wind up for the day, go home and watch TV and blog like this. God !! These could have been done at home itself. But the point is, you don't get paid a decent amount for it. ;) They say about recession and stuff like that, but this bore thing can really take you to heights.
You start giving up on yourself. The dreams that you set for yourself, starts to die from within. You don't feel like pushing for yourself or for anything else in life, for that, the energy is fading away. The spirit of work is no longer existing. The support never existed from peers or higher management. It has turned drastically from enthusiasm to a mere duty and then ending up in a cruel compromise. When you are bogged down by people who are just finding a chance to pull your leg, this thing gets even more disastrous. I hear complaints from people that I am getting impatient and so on. Well, the reason is pretty much laid out above ! Many friends that I know, are turning to America again for anything better than this kind. I see people earning more than double the amount , but the question still lies underneath ... Are they really happy in this field or is it a compromise which is not showing out ?

Knowing others purpose.
Recently, a friend of mine was chatting on GTalk and then came up with the news that was quitting the company he was working in ! I immediately thought of it, was a weird decision to quit in such bad times of recession where people are ready to even stay in their company by doing nothing or even, everything !! But, the real motto of his quitting was not the usual one like greener pastures which everybody of us dream of.
He had found his real objective. The objective of being an expert in the field of study he was interested in and contribute something to society in terms of its values. The career plan and the advice that was followed, for the first time, was scintillating ! He clearly explained, how to make a life altering decision work for yourself, which would be posted in a separate post though ! And whatever that follows, is merely your decision, your choice, for which you aren't sad about and moreover, this job thing and which follows that, looks crap, thereafter. They say working on your dreams is the true satisfaction and I saw a live example in my friend's form.
