you study damn hard for a good degree, come out to work, slog and slog till you get promoted. then, you slog and slog and slog even more to climb up that never ending ladder.
then? whats next? slog even more than before??
or, you get a degree and then, a job, of which you only do what is enough to keep your job. you get your pay and with the money, you go ahead in doing the things you have always been passionate about. basically, fulfilling your dream.
money or passion?
i realised how many are unable to put their jobs aside and settle for passion after they have entered the working world and become successful in it.
perhaps the kind of satisfaction you get out of being able to climb up the ladder successfully is worth more than doing something you're passionate about. you know, like you get the kind of adrenaline rush when you see the numbers in your bank account accumulating.
maybe afterall, money wins over passion since it is necessary for survival. besides, success is often linked with money.
as much as i would rather choose to settle for passion, im positive about me being swayed in time to come. the fact that i actually worry about my future, about whether i would be able to earn enough explains everything.
of course, there is the intersection where passion and money come together.
then again, i ask myself.
what are the chances?
then again again, i tell myself.
im probably thinking a lil' too far. who knows what will happen to me next time. the thing about life is how unexpected it always turn out to be.
random thoughts.
