But really, I have totally no interest in Corporate Finance or Mergers & Acquisitions. And I am certainly not keen on working past midnight everyday! I believe that one can make tons of money but if it spells 'Slavery to Society', 'Health Damage' and 'No Time spent with Loved Ones', it simply denotes REGRET. Later on in life at least. My peers beg to differ, believing in striving for the present now and enjoying later. To each his/her own then.
I remembered a date told me this a year ago when trying to explain why he worked so long hours and had no time to go out more often with me or eventually commit to any relationship. He asked if I watched the movie Shark Tale and I nodded my head. He then echoed the words of Oscar, the little hustler fish, who supposedly killed the shark.
"I want to be somebody. Nobody knows nobody."
Those words sum up all that he needed to say and have continuously rang in my ears since then. I always feel that this is so reflective of men. Or should I said Singaporean men. Or perhaps just men that I meet. *shrugs*
Well, on the bright side, at least I know I rejoice over my working relationship with my senior manager and revel in my job scope. I learn something everyday and she is not selfish in guiding me in my work. I really savour the team spirit in my department. We are all different with such diverse strengths and somehow, so magically, we compliment one another perfectly.
Yes, many may feel that I am being too idealistic. I have been urged by many that job satisfaction is not enough and I should be more practical. So, is continuing to do what I like and being able to learn new things everyday being impractical? And is it really so practical to give up what I have now for some alienated (at least to me) job which I have totally no interest in?
I agree that we all got to move and not stay stagnant but at least I know, this job rejection is the right move. And if I have to move, it has to be to somewhere which I know I will excel in, which most importantly will mean I need to be at least interested in that industry or task.
Alright. Now. Stop berating me.
