Its easy to find a good worker.
Its harder to find a good person. -
I am already as specialised as one can be already.Originally posted by angel7030:So, you must get yourself specialise in certain thing, from there, make yourselve being demand by others. You then can charge a higher price tag.
A freelance trainer, insurance agent, tutor, etc etc
Being a freelance means working by himself, and getting earned for what he works, correct me if i am wrong. And now, tell me, how much work can one person do?
Isnt it better to manage people, they do the work and you get the pay? -
Yes, that is what i think too. Youth and beauty, so much more priceless than anything else.Originally posted by Yunhaier:
Actually we often find ourselves trapped in such quagmire all the time.
We are stuck because we always try to quantify happiness and fulfilment based on numeric remuneration and eventually realised that it doesn't balance - which is why we are stuck.
Your choice will reveal, at this current stage in life, what you really seek.
A woman vying for top positions in the highly stressed corporate world will usually find themselves drained out faster than man - not because women are the ‘inferior sex', but rather because in competing, women have to turn on their 'masculine mode' and work with that dimension of energy level for a vast period - through managing, commanding or simply being aggressive in her line of work just to be goal oriented. Over a considerable amount of time, the spiritual flow within the woman will be disruptive as the 'feminine aspect' of herself becomes inane.
Do what you need to make you feel human and natural.
The ironic truth about life is that when we are young, we worked so hard for money, just to use those money to buy back our youth. Perhaps in that sense, we should always opt for the happier choice.
Cheers
In fact, i have slowed down for a while, since i attained what i aimed to a few years ago, with the intention to preserve my youth. Well, it worked

Thank you! i have that in mind too!Originally posted by daisie:Yep, I too, travel quite abit for work and it sucks big time! Would rather travel for leisure anytime. Tough.
Would encourage you to slow down and take things easy. All the best!
How much money does one need? how much is enough? im pretty comfortable now, isnt that enough? thinking of taking the back seat. But all my friends are saying i am too young to do that

There is different ways to lay back. Depends on your skill set.
There is no such thing as semi retired. In actual fact, semi retired is a code word for 'unable to get a job'.
Maybe what you need is just a holiday. Doing something so different from your normal work scope....that you will anticipate going back to your old duties with renewed zest and understanding of what it actually does.
I just returned to Singapore after that.
For something more meaningful. how about setting up a dance school in cambodia? -
have you heard about a 'part-time' lawyer? one who only handles cases as he chooses? you call that "semi retired is a code word for 'unable to get a job'"?Originally posted by viciouskitty74:There is different ways to lay back. Depends on your skill set.

Thats just an example.
No, i am not a lawyer, but yes, i am as specialised as that. Or perhaps more. -

Arh....so you have commissioning rights under your belt?Originally posted by blu_sky:have you heard about a 'part-time' lawyer? one who only handles cases as he chooses? you call that "semi retired is a code word for 'unable to get a job'"?
Thats just an example.
No, i am not a lawyer, but yes, i am as specialised as that. Or perhaps more.
And you have the contacts to only collect fees for commissioning from a few legal firms yet?
And as far as such notary public or commission of oaths I've known. They still run their own legal firms and survive on commissions for cases referred to other more established well supported administratively.
It does not mean the lawyer you claimed can just sit at home and dont go to office. They still keep a 9-6 weekday.
Even for those 'specialised people'. They maintain a office in their home and has the discipline to work and manage their times for projects and entertainments and keeping the business running and they considered themself 'retired'.
Which category did you think you are most suitable in? -
\Originally posted by blu_sky:Thinking about changin my job.
have been going for interviews. Some job interviews are really tough, they drilled and drilled. asked really irrelevant qns and and stupid really tries to piss you off. but such cos are bigs cos, T related cos. so strange and stupid, ask wat my hobbies are. like if i enjoy drinking and getting drunk everynite, i will tell them!
went to a interview today. really great one. it was like an exchange, conversation between the interviewer and me. and i feel really great after that. i feel that i am getting the respect i deserve for my maturity and accomplishment
Would you choose a job that is:
a) well-established co, confirmed good prospects, really expanding, but make you feel like the are drillin you all the time; or
b) smaller co, but profit making and expanding too, make you feel like a human again?\
oh damn, i hate travelling for work. why all these jobs require travelling despite i am in such 'back offcie'?
I'll look for a company that treats me like a family. -
Ok. so you are not a lawyer.
And you are specialised.
And semi retired means taking on projects and part time jobs?
To survive or to pass time?
Maybe its because I've only known self declared semi retired folks who are umeployed and actively seeking a job.
The rest.....that declared themselves as retired....manages projects and work, not merely because they need the money....they are just doing it for fun to keep their mind active.
Like they spent their time volunteering instead of worrying when their next meal will come from.
When you are too worried about 'face and what you can quantify about yourself and your situation'.
You arent ready for retirement. -
blu....go for a holiday.
or a sabbatical if you can manage your finances.
in Singapore, it does not pay to be burnt out, emotionally & physically resulting in sickness.
I went thru it.
It wasnt very nice.
Take a break. Join a smaller company if you really likes it. And think fresh start. Take a walk, smell some roses and re-organise your stuffs before you finally join the new company. And if it does not work out.
There is always other companies that will welcome you with open arms.
Relax about it and things will go your way. Remember to keep in touch with folks around you.
The key ideas I hope you will understand. There is always new things to learn, new people to meet and new rules to break
Especially your own personal rules which you never knew you could improve...by breaking its ceiling you set yourself. -
Thought of that. in fact, i had done that before! after i resigned from my previous job, i rested for 5 mths. For the 5 mths, i did not even look for a job. Went touring. Aw... so fun and carefree!Originally posted by viciouskitty74:blu....go for a holiday.

Thought of doing that again. Actually i thought of resting untill after New Year;p But many people (friends, super close peers in the industry) discourage against that, or in fact all of them discouraged. Even the headhunters discouraged that.
Dont think i gonna do that again. Perhaps i am old now... -
2 choices only arh?
I choose neither leh!

Go take a break lah. You read like you need one.
And frankly, in HR, those in the know anyway. Will tell you. Medical leave granted to employees to relax, have a holiday is valid. You are actually even allowed to be out of the country on holiday when you have medical leave certs for that period of time.
Its those conservative employers who didnt know about those.
If you cannot afford the time away, at least take some leaves during the normal weekdays, take a leisurely lunch and read a book.
Go for a foot massage and sleep early for the night. It can work wonders. -

Tell you what.
Auntie VK here offers the tatami floors to you if you come to Phuket Thailand during a weekend that I am there in November. Bring your own pillow if you must.
Can bring you around eat local food and shop at local places.
You will be singing Cheep Cheep cheep on the flight home.
How about deepavali holiday? -

if i get a job, i intend to buy myself out for 3 weeks! -
thats the spirit.Originally posted by blu_sky:if i get a job, i intend to buy myself out for 3 weeks! -
i believe option b is better because i believe happiness is more important than money or experience, u are a human and should feel like a human, otherwise i think life will become meaningless
nevertheless, the decision is yours and as jojobeach said, make ur decision and dont regret it later.
