Again, I have successfully survived my first month of work. Things are fine at work, no complains yet and I hope that there won’t be any in the future. Was a bit stressed at times over the design proposals and tight schedule, but it’s fine cos the amount of satisfaction I get in return is more than enough to compensate for whatever stress I had and all the lost of sleep.
Having got my first month’s pay for the job, I was actually feeling quite happy despite that small sum. The feeling this time round is a bit different from the past, it is the kind of “hard-earned” money kind of feeling, I have put in my effort and this is what I have earned, unlike the past, where I just sit there doing nothing and the money just come in every month as scheduled. To me, the money then has no meaning at all. Maybe some of you out there might think that I am stupid to think in this way, but I think I am someone who value satisfaction and happiness much more than monetary gains. And I feel that satisfaction and happiness are something that will really bring you further in whatever things you do in your life than merely monetary benefits, which may, no doubt, sustain your material wants for a short while but this kind of feeling does not last. Or at least, this is how I feel. Or maybe I am just a simple minded person who just wants to be happy doing things that I enjoy...
