Lost in Translation

As days pass, i'm becoming more disillusioned with my life. For one, i believe that life is too short and it shouldn't be spent doing things that you are not happy to do. Of course, there is the "You can't never get everything you want". Yet, there is such a thing called risk and sacrifices. The only question that needs to be answered is, are you willing to take the risk? Are you willing to sacrifice?
These days, my life seems to be filled doing things that i don't really want to do. I don't like my job and it is killing me.....whoaaa....there you go!!!!...i finally got it out of my chest.....And doing something i don't like day in,day out is killing me softly.....lol...dramatic. Life has become a mundane routine. Waking up at 7am to go to work is a torture. Mind you, not the waking up but the thought of going to work and facing/doing things that don;t really mean anything to me. Even things that i can learn from don't mean anything to me. More often than not, when my colleagues ask me about what i have learned, i have nothing much to say because there is just no passion/interest in what i do. I know it is sad, and believe me , i wish i can change that but i can't. I used to be a person who would give her all to anything and everything that she has been given to do. It has all changed now. This one year has changed me in many ways. I don't even try to give my 100% thesedays....as long as work is done, im done. 2 years ago, that would have been a no no...I just wish that those who need to know this , will know it. Keep me another year where i am right now, and Shahreen = No creativity + "Couldn't give a damn" + Bitter

Those who talk about perseverance and strength, i have a few things to say to you :

First of all : Strength is being able to face the truth and choosing what you really want to do in your life
2nd : Strength is about being able to stand up tp people and saying, "No, this is what i want to do"
3rd : Control your own destiny or someone else will. Jack Welch

4th : Looking at all the above and the talk on perseverance , let me say that, policies.philosophies and beliefs are subjective. Bluish Green might look blue to you and green to me. Therefore, all these talks about "being able to persevere and face big challenges indicates a good leader" are just mere words with a little conviction. Without your belief and conviction, there are just mere words. A good leader knows what he wants and works towards that. How about that?

No one can come and tell you to like or do something that you really don't have any interest in doing.

So, choose what you want to do with life. It is short.
