While reading this post, are you inside your work cubicle? Have you always been there, working madly while trapped in the three walls of your cubicle? Doesn't it get boring?
Questions like these are often asked by people to themselves when assessing how much have they advanced in their careers. One will question his/her self if he/she is happy with the job he/she currently has, for anyone who is at his late 20's or 30's, the idealism that you had during your collegiate days are now slowly fading, and the restlessness of the thoughts of career failure is already haunting.
Some would say that this is all part of the trip to the top--but how long should it be? How long should one wait? How long should one bear with the boss?
I sometimes ask myself these questions, too. Right now, I am still optimistic, thinking that I would be a big success in my chosen path. I live on these thoughts. They keep me alive. They keep me persevering to be the best that I can be. But failure is always around the corner. When will it strike I do not know. The fear of it is perhaps more dreaded than fear of death. I am sure you most probably had the same thoughts as mine.
I do not want to stay inside a work cubicle forever. My energies will not allow that. But what shall we do, if that will really happen? Sometimes, it does not take only hard work to get far in this life. Sometimes, you have to have Lady Luck alongside you as well.
The fear of failure and constancy is daunting, but hen it comes, it comes. I cannot do anything about it anymore. And for the time I am inside cubicle, I might as well get it lively by putting in decoration and accessories.
