Entry: Ideality vs Practicality Saturday, May 16, 2009



 I saw a quote on TV mobile, and it goes like this:

"Get a job that you love and you don't need to go to work everyday"

I think it's true. If say, your get your dream job doing something which you really love doing, then you won't feel like you are working. It's more like you are doing some hobbies or leisure activities. But is it practical?

One thing is, you still have to make a living somehow. And if your dream job is not able to provide you with a decent sum, I guess it's not practical to pursue it.

I chose practicality over ideality. Sometimes I regret it. And I truly wonder how does it feel to have a job which involves things that I love to do. Being comic book illustrator? Professional jewellery maker? Interior designer? Or even fashion designer? (although I'll still need to learn the skill for some). I know there would still be stress involved such as deadline or maybe dealing with difficult customer/projects. But I guess if I really have the passion for it, then I wouldn't feel too bad abt all those. I would do the job happily and whole-heartedly everyday. Maybe even with new excitements everyday? No monday-blues and TGIF...

Oh well... I should just be glad that I'm still earning enough money for now and still surviving in this job somehow. Maybe... just maybe.. one day I might still have the chance to get one of my dream jobs
