Some people told me they hated their jobs or their bosses. They asked me should they stay or go. It’s a decision they have to make. I’m not in their shoes.
Some people could not leave their jobs and
have little motivation and always feeling “xian” (boring) going to work. They asked me how to cope. I told them to find
a new hobby or interest to find joy & up-keep their mental health. Best if
they cost nothing to start and maintain. But would anyone listen to a nobody?
But if you have found it and are still struggling day to day to get by, perhaps you’re in the wrong industry or with a wrong boss! You have to start looking outside.
Just Keep looking…
If you have saved enough and kept some reserves, you can retire comfortably and start to enjoy life.
But if you are still slogging it out every
day at work to pay the bills, it’s better to be a ninja warrior (not turtle:
unless you prefer a slow, boring& long life) than
a ninja delivery man. More skills mean more opportunities in many
possible roles to make money! Find your own niche!
I have given my all. But still no big break-through for me. I had never thought of winning. I tried very hard not losing. But time and physical conditions are not on my side! So I have to do side gigs and keep some ‘reserves’ for the tough days ahead when my full-time job ends. Some people said you can lose but you can still be a winner. But can this absurd thinking bring food to the table?
When you have little energy left at the end of the day, use them to focus and do one or two things you love to do and do them well. Most likely you would succeed in the long term. Motivate yourself along the way. But don’t follow my modus operandi because after more than 15 years of trying, I’m still looking for my big break through. Sigh.
