Merry Xmas & A Happy New Year

Here’s wishing all my readers a belated Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!

Unfortunately I have kind of abandoned this blog for the past few months as I had been busy settling down with my new job.

I make it no secret that I love my new job – I love what I have been doing, what I will be doing next year, the challenges and opportunities given to me, and my colleagues who are mostly very nice people. I look forward to going to work each day and learning new things… so much so that now that my office is closed from Xmas till Jan 3, I feel kinda lost just sitting around at home – but I haven’t been wasting time as I bought some books to read over this period.

I read somewhere that the most important step towards success is to love your job. When you love your job, you tend to be more motivated to work, and thus move towards success. Also, when you love y0ur job and enjoy your work, your co-workers can sense your happiness and passion and it does help to make the workplace more comfortable when people react positively to your enthusiasm. I think this is quite true.

However, the industry I am in and my current job pays, sadly, a rather mediocre salary. Hence I am giving myself 1 year to move up the ladder – may sound ambitious, but I think I can do it through delivering results. I gave up job opportunities paying easily 50% more than what I am drawing now to do something I like, but I am not going to be contented with this forever – I want a better future and I am motivated towards career advancement.

I hope I did not make the wrong career choice in the first place.
