Hi.

When someone tells you their dream, do you sit down and start to think you have miles to go just to get to the vicinity? Or do you just appreciate the things you have?

I have never been the latter one. Mostly because I never have time to be content. I work and boy do I know how to. I mean besides the regular full time work, I also work on a few other projects. And it keeps me to my toes. My typical Saturdays are spent in coffee shops trying to catch up on some deadlines. That’s what my schedule looks like. And amidst all of these monotony, you need a bit of budging and that’s what listening to people and their stories do. I get a tad bit jealous, because who doesn’t, but alongside I have my mind set on the things I want from life.

I started working from a very young age because I realized I didn’t want to be financially dependent on my parents. That was around 10 years ago. These days my parents are financially dependent on me and I love the feeling (most of the time). I haven’t always had the best of luck when it comes to work but I have tried to make it the best with the people I surround myself with, my fraternity or my friends. This always helps. One thing I realized is that, you will never be able to work if you don’t have friends. Truly enough, you need people to go out and have coffee or mo:mo with and sit down for a bottle of beer.

I’d like to say I am successful. I still have a long way to go but I know a few people and they know me. And I am sure, if push comes to shove, people will try and support me. Having said that, I still push for more. I still aim higher. I still want the things I never had and will continue working for it.

So which side are you on? Are you content or are you the pushing kind?
