Now that I’m in a profession where I collect lots of business cards of people from all walks of life, I’ve collected more than a thousand cards thus far. In this very short period of time I’ve actually collected more contacts that I ever did in all my years of being employed combined. Amazing, huh?
Having collected so many business cards, it actually widened my horizon as to what so many people do for a living. I not only came across business cards of people in the country but many out of this country too. I was quite amazed having come across a pleasanton motorcycle accident attorney’s business card. Imagine how specific a job can come down to!
Life has been interesting getting to meet all sorts of people who hold all kinds of jobs. Of all those people that I met thus far, I sometimes look at them and wonder if what they are doing is what they have always wanted to be or it’s just a job that pays the bills. For most people, the latter is usually the case.
I consider myself to be one of those too while I was employed. But now I am truly doing something that I choose to do and feel very good about it. Because of this experience, I would want the same for Ryan too, for him to be able to do something that he enjoys and most importantly, wants to do rather than have to do.
What about you? Have you thought about it? If we don’t think about it consciously, more often than not parents will tend to bring up their children to think that they need to go out there, study hard, get excellent grades, graduate with an honours degree and get the best job they possibly can and work their way from bottom to top and it doesn’t matter if it’s not in their area of interest. If it is, it’s a big bonus.
How do you feel about that? Is that how it should be because that’s how it has been for us?
