getting busy, getting serious

it's about time to get serious.

at this point, i got no time to waste. though, i have a lot of things in mind, i just want to focus on career.

some would say, the subject is pretty boring. too serious. but actually, it gives me a certain kind of high. yup. it excites me.

i have just read a blog about somebody's career and he has achieved much at such a young age. i also aim to be like him. i mean, if not equally successful, at least a bit close, right?

everybody wants to be `somebody' (at least for him/herself). and that is what i'm gonna be doing soon.

i want to do the thing i love the most..something that i enjoy a lot, so one day, i won't feel that i am working at all. career is not just about earning money, or holding the best position in a company. but it's about achieving a sense of fulfillment in what you are doing. who wouldn't want his or her hard work lead to a sense of financial reward, prestige and achievement?

i am talking about passion. being at your best always. it's keeping from doing a mediocre job. career is all about passion. creating something that makes you smile even after a hard day's work. it is putting all your worth into something that reflects the character in you, something that you can proudly say your own.

so, i guess, having my mba while taking 2 interior design subjects per term won't really hurt. think long-term. i need to sacrifice a lot at present in order to achieve the most important goal in my life: be an interior designer-entrepreneur 3 years after. why ditch such a good-paying job, many friends ask. but who needs a financially rewarding job if you feel some of your talent and energies just fall by the wayside, getting wasted everyday?

don't get me wrong. i don't hate my job. and i love the pay too. it's just that, i feel there is so much more that i can do than just stay in an office everyday. i can still write for magazines or go on a freelance writing job even if i quit my job right now. and i can even write my own novel, right? and say i won't be quitting anytime soon, i'd still quit in the future.

it's about time realizing a dream that suits me best. if i won't do it anytime soon, i can no longer do it forever. so it better be this time than regret later.

so,i guess, this is it. I just want to have my own business someday, be a designer and be my own boss. who wouldn't want to manage her own time while getting paid for something that you really enjoy much? and who says i'm gonna quit writing? never.

so. wish me luck. *winks*
