A Honest Answer

Recently, I met a mid-level management of a private organisation. He took a 40% pay cut to move from public to private sector after six years in the former industry.

He advised that if I am serious about making a switch to the private sector, I should do so now to avoid greater pains, in terms of higher opportunity cost.

Job-hunting becomes more difficult as there are more emotional hurdles to overcome and higher opportunity cost to incur.

Planning, as what often highlighted by successful people, is extremely crucial yet often neglected by most of us who are drifted by daily chores and settle for comfort.

If you happen to chance upon this blog and would like to shed some light,  your kind gesture will be deeply appreciated.

Before I return to browsing of job advertisments, there is this question that I cannot avoid "what do I want out of my life, honestly" .

What May Have Been

"It is a sobering truth that almost every decision we make closes more doors that it opens... When we take up a certain profession, we turn our backs on a whole host of alternatives. Every decision brings with it the very real possibility of regret."

"Most of the respondents (around 75 per cent) said their biggest regret involved something they did not do, while only a minority (around 25 per cent) said their biggest regret involved something they did it.

... the part of the reason is because we can see clearly the consequences of things we did do, but are free to imagine what might have been the consequences of things we did not do... we torture ourselves with the thought of joys, loves and successes that would have been ours even if we had done things differently."

"It is worth bearing in mind that our biggest sources of regret are likely to be the things we did not do rather than the things we did."

Do it or do not do it - you will regret both.

The Internet Age

"In the Internet age, we get so much information at a phenomenal rate, but that means nothing unless some of that information causes us to change how we do some things. That is when real learning has taken place"

The Illusionist 魔幻视界

I have been looking forward to this drama ever since I first knew about the production.

Though this drama is not as fantasic as Perfect Cut, it is still a touching drama. I cried at every episode.

因为这是用心的制作.
