22nd April 2009-Are we slaves?

I am still at the office not due to abundance of work but rather it is easier to work when the office is kind of empty. Two hours work during normal office hours can be cut to one hour or even 45 minutes.

At these times I can reflect what are the issues today, the problems, my wife, my children, my work, politics, business, money issues. Wow lot of issues eh.

Working outstation and being a weekend husband and father has its advantanges and disadvantages as any other things in the world. But being 40+  I think it has taken its toll on me. I looked forward to the weekends and dread the travelling back to work on sunday nite or monday morning. The only thing that have kept me from quiting is that I need the money. Just as millions out there who wanted to do something else, work somewhere else but couldn't because they need the money that they are getting from their present jobs.

Are we being slaves to our work, to money??

Adakah kita kini walaupun dianggap a freeman, tetapi sebenarnya hanyalah hamba kepada kerja kita, gaji kita, pemimpin kita, media kita?? Do we have choices??? Do we want to be told what to do everytime, be it by our bosses, our leaders, our media, our salaries? Hey you cant quit, who else can give you this much money? Hey you need the money, your chidren need the money, your parents need some money? 

So what to do? Just plough through, always try to find opportunities to better yourself, pray to God, Ask to God. Just hope that if we need to work for the money, the work is something that we are excited about, something that we love to do. As some smart people say, You cant be successful(happy, wealthy, etc.) until you do the things that you love.

SO, GO AND FIND THAT WORK THAT YOU LOVE AND EXCITED ABOUT. STOP COMPLAINING!!!
