What You Need and What You Want
Coming back from Cameron Highland, after a hectic month completing two projects, and meeting interesting people at E27, I just love my job more and more. Not because I am doing a totally different stuff right now, but I think I am begining to know the difference between what I want and I what I need more clearly.
Last time, I did what I needed, I needed a job, I needed experience, and I needed money, so I worked hard and I learned as much as I could, and I did what I was told, I was employed, and I was lost. Then I started to explore what I really wanted.
I wanted to freeze beautiful moments in life, so I bought my first DSLR camera; and I signed up for beginning photography course. I had always wanted to travel alone, travel light, travel long, longer than 2 weeks, so I packed my bag, and travelled to Borneo, for the first time, alone, my longest holidays, 21 days in a row.
I found programming alone is too boring, I had always wanted to explore the creative side of me, so I started Pluit Solutions doing not only web development, but also web design.
I know that money is important and but a fulfiling life is more important than money; thus doing what I want on top of what I need makes the difference.
Just like the two kids that I snapped from my last trip to Cameron Highland, I chose to be like the first kid on the left, happy and passionate.
When you are happy and passionate, you get the best out of you.
