Life Full of Uncertainties
Hot 2 |
I am an insecure freak. I don’t like any changes.
No matter what I may say about the routines, I know that most of my life is built on it. It’s hard for me to break out of my comfort zone. I need to live in a spot where I know I am safe and sound. That’s why I’ve stayed at the same company for more than 15 years, even I know that I don’t have any chances there.
However, in this changeable world, probably only change itself never changes.
Today a stunning news came. V and S would will leave the company. Such things are not new for our company. Almost every year, there are some colleagues leaving, either on their own will or on the company’s.
Still, it’s a surprise to hear that V would leave. She is kind of legend in our company. As a girl without any technical background, she’s successfully worked herself from a department assistant to the GM. In our company, every unit is rather independent and reports only to its function line. So, a GM is more like an administration manager and doesn’t have much real authorities like one in other companies. Still, that’s definitely making a record.
I hadn’t had any interactions with V until I joined in the Staff Club. As far as I know, she’s an elegant lady, well liked in the company. She’s always tried to increase communication between different units. What a surprise.
And at almost the same time I heard this news, my husband officially resigned from his company. He made up his mind about a year ago and today finally took this step.
I’ve tried to be supportive. However, deep inside my heart, I can’t help but feeling a bit upsetting. It’s just not an ordinary job-hopping. He is about to change the whole career path, which means he is going to give up all the resources he’s already built-up all these years, and head on to a totally different direction.
Perhaps he just found his true career calling, but at this age? It is really disruptive.
2018 is supposed to be a year full of all kinds of uncertainties—good or bad. All I can do now is just pray, pray that everything would turn out to be just fine.
Perhaps I am just worried too much. Perhaps it’s important to live a life with a little adventures. After all, we only live once, so everyone should live our lives to the fullest. And most important, don’t be afraid.

- It changes, if we do not move, we are stagnated. Though the process of breaking through the bottleneck is uncomfortable, we are still supposed to do it. Come on.

- Yes, you are right. Life asks us to go out and make stories. Even we stay where we are, sometimes adventures would still come to you. So, we need to learn to be prepare and adapt to the changes

- Are you trying to say that you’ve already passed the stage where you could turn to a different path of life? I guess different people have different attitude toward it, like different people have different definition of the word “Old”. Someone just can always remain young at heart. Personally, I don’t like changes. However, when changes come to me, I have nothing to do but accept them. After all, in modern society, few could have a job that can last for a life time. My husband is also not a job-hopping guy. The reason why he made this decision is that he’s finally found where he true passion lies on. He is not young, if he doesn’t act now, he would loose the chance forever. Like Charles Strickland in the Moon and Sixpence, who decides to paint at the age of 40’s, and in order to pursue his dream, he left his wife and children, he gave up everything that matters to most of us: fame, comfortable life, social statue. Such thing does happen in real life, just on different scales I guess. And of course in reality, it’s more difficult to make up your mind
