Stepping Up

It’s very easy for us people to do certain job which we’ve been repeatedly doing for so many times. I’ve been working for a company for more than 1 year. I worked as a programmer and I’m comfortable being it. I’m kind of person who is always eager to learn and learn more about my field of study.

After experiencing being employed for a company, I decided to step up and enter the world of change. Actually, I don’t have clear job to go into. I will focus more on our goals. I can still do outsourced works to sustain my needs.

Honestly, I don’t want to be dominated by someone else. I want to use my time whenever I need it without hindrances. I decided to quit my job because of this simple reason. We wanted to build our own firm. We’ve been dreaming of this for so long and nothing seems to happen if we will just keep on dreaming. We have goals and these need to be fulfilled with dedication, perseverance and sacrifices.

It seems difficult to make necessary change specially I’m already comfortable with what I’ve been doing for quite times. But change makes me grow. Afraid to fail is the big obstacle why we tend not to make change. This line empowers me every time I read it from one of the motivators:

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that don’t work” - Thomas Edison

I enjoyed staying in the company. Mingled with people with different attitudes and personalities. I’ve learned from these people the attitudes that can be adopted and to be thrown away. I’m really blessed because this company and people within became an instrument for me to step up and prepare for the next challenge. Thanks all!

Keep going.
