I made a bold step in venturing out of my comfort zone. Job security vs job satisfaction. I have come to accept that everywhere you go, you will get the same shit. So i rather get paid better to eat shit than to be paid peanuts to eat shit. After being paid better, i will even say that the shit taste like abalones.
Making that bold step was like a dive out in the sea. With limited oxygen in my oxygen tank and my diving gear. I found a very prosperous fishing island that earns a hefty amount from the things they catch. But their wealth comes with a price. They catch extinct dolphins and sea turtles and sell them to wealthy pet owners who collects them. I could not stomach their money making ways. So i decided to venture out again.
With oxygen refilled in my tank, i hopped around from shore to shore for brief rest. To rejuvenate. And hoping that in the process, find a nice place to rest.
Later i got tired and went back out on the sea to swim. Swim to find a good place to settle down.
After swimming for a long time, i find only more open seas. It was upsetting.
It seems like i would never be able to survive with the little oxygen that i have.
Eventually i saw some fishing boats that were clustered around the shore of an island. The fishermen told me that their island is flourished with milk and honey. They earn a comfortable amount from their catch out at sea. And that their main concern is the welfare of the people.
If i wanted to join them, i had to learn their trade and also the way they live. I agreed and went through 2 weeks of testings.
After 2 weeks, the island’s leaders will have a meeting to decide if they will accept me into their island.
The waiting was only a few days but it seemed long
I comtemplated to swim out sea again to find another place.
Soon enough, i got the answer that i will be their new island member.
