We all have dreams. Some of us plan to earn enough to start our own companies by the time we turn 25. Others dream to be CEOs in multinationals by the time they hit 30. And there are those who even aspire to become self-made millionaires by then.
Whatever's your dream is,
whatever your desire may be.
Personalise it, internalise the feeling,
and then answer me this:
whatever your desire may be.
Personalise it, internalise the feeling,
and then answer me this:
If you've come to realise that staying in the current situation you're in pretty much guarantees failure of your plans in the specified timeframe, would you stay? Would you wait it out and see where it goes? Or would you take a gamble and see if another venture turns out to be more promising? There's no certainty in that either, though. That's why it's a gamble.
Thing is, minus that time factor, staying kinda guarantees that you'll achieve your dreams... eventually. The only problem is that looking at the way things are, you're currently nowhere near reaching that dream in the ideal amount of time. Possibly in the far future but... not anytime soon. You'll only be able to grasp it after a whole lot of waiting. Possibly a 50% - 100% more years of waiting (based on my superb powers of estimation).
Given this knowledge, would you stay?

personally i would take the gamble especially at this very age when we are still able to take risk rather than later on when you need to support a family. besides that, not everyone gets to lead and some of us are just meant to be led. that's the simple truth. but no harm trying, cause if you never did try you would never know .... what if.
probably you should weigh your options before making such decision and jumping out of your comfort zone

– Well, I guess that makes sense in a lot of ways. Jump while you're young. Play the daredevil while you can. Before it's too late.
Problem is... I think it may already be closer to Too Late than I'd hope. Sigh.
Weighing now. Tough.
i left my job bcz of tht.. although still jobless and aimless atm, but i never regret what i did..
ATTN: RealGunners
– Wow. So how you survive?
And no regrets? That's good. Bad to live with regrets.
Hey Pam,
I guess in everything we do, nothing is certain and patience plays a big part. Perhaps the "waiting part" is kind of like a "suffering" thing for you?
Well, just wanna share this with you:
"Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint
us..."
Romans 5 : 3 - 5a
Stay and rejoice?
=)

– Thanks, Nigel. I think you dissected my situation well. The waiting part is the problem. Because while I wait, and though I do not receive, I'm still expected to give up all that I hold dear to me.
Rejoice. That word seems so foreign in my dictionary right now. Like... I know what it means but I forgot how it feels.
Looking outside, you DREAM. Looking inside, you AWAKEN. Eyes provide sight. Heart? Provides INsight...

– W.O.W.
Did you write that? I love it! Thanks, wishbone.
"change when only you could not find a reason to stay"....visions will be revealed and dreams will be realized if you sow on the right ground! =)
ATTN: Adrian Lim
– So if I still have one reason to stay I should?
Hmmmm....mixed feeling you have...Perhaps both also equally as good as they are..
Okie...how about this? identify how significant is that reason over what the other has to offer....
Make a table of Advantage vs disadvantage. list all of them down chronologically to PRIORITY!The choice that give the most advantages over disadvantages....That is the ONE!
ATTN: Adrian Lim
– Of course I have mixed feelings. That's why I can't decide! And... I think it's not as easy as making a list. There are emotional attachment issues to be thought through. And not to mention the mental and psychological anguish that comes with each decision.
hmmmm.....emotional attachments will be always there. However, life goes ON.....
Knowing exactly what is your career aspiration will help in the decision making....
If the mind is confused, use the heart to decide as well.... Afterall, its about satisfaction and a better tommorow. Be happy....=)))
ATTN: Adrian Lim
– Well, life goes on but... is it worth the emotional stress? I'm not sure yet.
And the career thing is an example, Adrian. I'm just talking about dreams in general.
If emotional stress is still within the bandwidth, then why not?....unless it is too overwhelming to take on, then you would have to step back and restrategize.
Dare to dream and challenge oneself to another level of challenges is really a privillege. Its an opportunity I would say. Seize it if you are ready otherwise gotta look for other opportunities. And that applies in general too....=)
