Passion, career or get a life.......

Since resigning from my job as a newspaper distributor, I've been thinking a lot about being a full time taxi driver 'which i am currently doing'. I'm at the point now where there are two opposing options in my mind, and I'm wondering which path to follow. Like the Robert Frost poem goes "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both."

On the one hand I am thinking of finding an interesting, challenging job, in an environment that could be called "difficult" or, if one was to be optimistic, "an adventure". A job that could excites me and I can see how it would lead on to other things in the future.

And on the other hand is what I have been doing and I refer it as The Replacement Choice for my long expired newspaper job, since I had never wanted to be a taxi driver all my life.

I've been trying to work out if I am the kind of person who can live for the lifestyle alone, and have yet to come to any satisfactory conclusion. Going off to work each day to a job that I find "okay" but is not my passion makes me wonder what the point is - am I just wasting my time and talent? (ya, a self proclaim talent) And for God sake, I had already wasted 10 over years of talent as a newspaper man.

Glad to say I am a happy blessed family man with a really nice wife and a beautiful girl. But at the same point, since I am not alone I don't think I wanna take any irresponsible risk, and as long as money is concern, I've got to be practical and realistic.

I'm also wondering why work has to have that special meaning for me - surely I can find meaning in my life outside of just what I do. Being a really really fantastic father and a good husband who will not follow the foot step of "Tiger" who? and "I NOT STUPID" who? lol.....

And my passion and talent for photography and expressing my thoughts will stay a legacy in this blog for the generation to come....

And I thought Gracia will love this blog when she grow up, and i also thought I have some secret fans who love reading my blog... like my elder bro... thanks bro.. that's a compliment as well as an encouragement.

Anyone else? lol....
