Future is what everyone worrying about. Although you shouldn't worry much about the future, because the present is still important, still, we should plan ahead and have a bright future.
Living with joy, dying without regrets, is my go-to motto. Once I saw someone working very hard in the present for the exchange of bright, relax future. The person I mentioned now is very rich and have a happy, relaxed life for her youth.
When I saw what she accomplished, I thought "That makes sense, I should do that too". But after thinking it again, that is a very risky move. Will I be able to diligently work very hard and not even a second take a chance to have a long break? Is there a guarantee that I'll live long enough to enjoy my hard work?
And even if I work very hard and there is a guarantee that I'll live long enough to enjoy it, when should I stop? Is it when I get Rp. 1 Million? 1 Billion? or when I get that wage per month? When do I stop? Or specifically, How do I decide when I am satisfied?
That's why I will get a stable job, no risk but high guarantee. But there's no point in getting that job if I'll just work hard and not enjoy it in the slightest. So a job that's suitable for me, what is it?
Well for starters, I'm good at technology, English, possibly entrepreneurship. What do we get? First, a developer profession. The one that makes software and stuff, it's a stable job and I like making software for enjoyment. Unfortunately, it's a high bar job. Only the best of the best can make the cut, and the best university for that in Bandung is ITB at STEI major. And I heard it's very hard to major in STEI, and I even haven't talk about getting into STEI.
Secondly, what my mother suggested is Digital Marketing. It requires marketing skill and technology skill, and as luck would have it, I have the qualifications to even dream about taking the job. For now, my ambition is set on taking digital marketing, now I need motivation to diligently study hard.
We should have ambition, and no repentance when we are at our dying breath.
