I Quit

Image
  Sooner  or later, you will quit your job.  If you are a person like me, who gets bored by doing similar things, changes the interest frequently, doesn’t have the correct skill set your job requires, or does not get paid enough for what you are doing, you will quit. Here’s a simple job quitting formula I found  1. old job + old skill = old money  explanation: If you are doing the same work daily and you have the same skill for this job, you will end up making the same money for years, or maybe a minor salary hike. And you will quit to get more money in a new job.  2. new  job + old  skill = new money + frustration  explanation: - if you somehow changed your job and got a new salary, but this job needs a new skill set which you don't have or are unable to learn quickly. You end up getting frustrated and will quit the job, or get fired.  3. old  job + new  skill = old money +  boredom explanation: - Now you have upgrad...

Nothing Is Parmanent

Now   I am fully convinced with the fact that "Nothing is permanent" not even the people or interests of people.  I don't know about other people, so I should not talk in general, but this is what I realised about myself. Everything I thought I am interested in or loved to do, is not true anymore.  Passion:  W hen I was in school, I was fascinated by electronic gadgets and loved to open up working one to see how it works and tried to fix the nonworking one, or at least to check what went wrong.  Desire: W hen I reached college, I was more interested in making money, because I hated to ask for money from my parents thinking they don't have enough. So I learned mobile phone repairing by combining my love of electronic gadgets with my desire of making money and started working in that field. and yes, I made good money for that time and 4-5 years went by.

It's a Short Life

If you’re already old enough like me, then you’re left with approximately seven thousand days of your life. Why I am saying this? Let’s say an average active human life is 60 years when he will be able to walk, run, recover from illness quickly, or enjoy outdoor activities. And now you do the math.  60 years are 21900 days, 40 years are 14600 days, and 20 years are just 7300 days to live an active life. That too when we are not dying by any illness or accident before time. Life year  day per year total days active life 60 365 21900 expnded 40 365 14600 balance 20 365 7300 Isn't it surprising to know that everybody got an average of 21900 days to live on?  If we talk in terms of money then 21900 rupees feels very less and 7300 is nothing. I must expend every rupee of my life carefully because I am already 40 now. 😄
