People may wonder why I left a company with thousands of employees and go to work in an organization which the number of employees can be counted using only 10 fingers.
Big organization, good pay, better future… That is what most people would say.
I don’t deny that but what important to me is personal growth. I work for passion more than for money.
I always want to be a Clinical Psychologist. In order to achieve that, I have to make changes in my life.
I enjoyed doing my previous job but that couldn’t make me a Clinical Psychologist.
“What would you miss the most?”
That was the question asked by someone when I left the big organization. The most interesting question.
My answer was, the students.
I enjoyed working and mingle around with the students.
Whenever they have problems, I like to solve the problems together with them.
I want to do more for the students. But with my position, I have been tied up with restrictions. I felt sad when I couldn’t do much for them.
Some people said I have been doing too much. How much is too much? I said I didn’t do enough.
Some people said I am so bold to quit a job without another job in hand.
It is not easy to make changes in life especially when a person is getting used of something.
My previous job, I have been working for it for more than a year. Everything is stable.
Am I going to continue the job and forget about what I want to achieve in life?
If I make a change now, everything might become unstable and I might be starting everything at zero again.
Is it worth?
Courage is needed to take a step forward, to make changes in life.
I must have the courage to take a step forward or else I would be standing at the same spot.
I took a huge step, to push myself hard enough to move forward.
I am lacking behind and I have to chase back the time which I have missed.
I am starting all over again, from here.
Someone once told me “A bad change is better than no change”
I’m not saying it’s gonna be bad for you to leave. I’m saying that even if *touch wood* it turns out bad, at least you’re moving somewhere and you’re growing (in experience)
It’s better than being stagnant at one spot and so that for the rest of your life.
You’re still so young. There’s still so much more to explore and experience.
You’re not really starting from zero. You have experience now. You have learned to deal with all sorts of people and that alone is something very valuable.
Heck, I’m still a student. I’m probably in no position to tell you all this. I mean what do I know right?
Anyway, just wanna say Go HP! You can do it!
Wherever you are, wherever you may be, there’s opportunities and doors waiting for you and I know you will do well. I believe in you! =)
Thanks, Sherlyn!
Im just starting another chapter of my life.
All the best in your chapter too =)
