Now or Never

I feel like I'm taking a big leap to the unknown. I don't know what's going to happen for the next days or weeks to come. I just hope everything will turn out well. I was able to talk to my uncle awhile ago. He told me to do whatever would make me happy. If I really wanted to pursue a field that's related to my course, then I should do it by all means. I'm quite happy with the outcome. I'm just a bit apprehensive though because of the contractual thing. I have a 50-50 chance. I don't know if it's a risk worth taking. After all, I already have a wonderful job now. I'm not sure if it's such a good thing to throw it all away.

It's weird how you begin to appreciate more the things that you've taken for granted only after when it's about to be taken away from you. I'm now beginning to question my "career move". I don't know if it's well worth the gamble, especially after having that short talk with Uncle Andrew. He kind of told me the opportunities that I would be missing with my current job. Now I'm having second thoughts. My current job seems to score more good points at the moment, weighing just a little more than my about-to-be job. But then I have not given my new job a try yet. So technically it does not count as fair.

NEW JOB
-related to course
-good good pay
-no Saturday work
-more tasks/work to do
-clear steady career path
-work with schoolmates

CURRENT JOB
-adjusted well already
-good work; not a dull boring job
-loads of good learning experience
-always meet lots of new people
-communication skills are enhanced
-friendly officemates
-whole day Internet access

Life is about taking risks. How am I supposed to discover the unknown if I am not willing to go out of my comfort zone? I may leave a lot of good things behind. But I know I will be facing a lot of great opportunities as well. I don't want to live my life always having to think about the missed and wasted opportunities and regretting after that I haven't done anything about it. There will be disappointments for sure. But there will be triumphs as well. I am fully aware that there are going to be some trade-offs. Life isn't fair. I guess I would just have to deal with it.
