Crossroads

First blog in 2008!

So here I am, standing at the first crossroad junction in 2008. I'm afraid to make a wrong turn now. After all, there aren't too many junctions ahead in my life anymore. To find myself standing at a dead end at the age of 35 will be horrifying. Pretty soon, I'll be at the end of all roads, so it's time to decide on the next phrase of my life in the next 30 years.

If you have the following 3 options, which will you choose?

1. Make a move. There's a 50% chance of making the wrong turn and regret for the rest of your life.
2. Move a move. There's a 50% chance of making the right turn and be happy for the rest of your life.
3. Don't move. Just stand at the crossroads indefinitely. That's the safest bet but you'll be more sad than happy for the rest of your life.

I probably wasted 29 years of my life, not knowing what I wanna do in life. And since 29 onwards, I've taken on option 3 until today. Well, I know what I want, but doesn't have the courage to change. So each year, I'll find myself standing at this crossroad and asking myself if I should make a move. (By the way, 29 was the year I realized what I want in my life - to make myself happier at work, personal development... blah blah blah)

Simply put, I'm too lazy, timid and comfortable to make a change. Actually changes are inevitable in today business world. To survive and keep up in the business world, one has to evolve, change and adapt. I knew that. But it is so much harder to apply to myself.
