Major Overhaul of My Own Life
Blogged By: Low Hang Wei @ April 23rd, 2009 - 10:59 pmRecently, I just deleted four posts of a specific topic, the first time I ever did something like that. I would also be deleting all comments related to that in future. It is a very drastic decision, but one I feel that I have to make to protect those being flamed in the comments. It is also going to potentially save a lot of my time from engaging in those redundant chatter, which are mostly immature comments. Don’t bother asking me where the posts go, because those comments will be deleted too.
Aside from that, all the while I have respected the free will of my visitors and posted everything that is not spam and not tainted by profanity. However, things have gotten out of control and I decided to put a stop to it and stop wasting my time. Besides that, I have also changed my ‘About Me’ page. Basically, I just decided to do things quietly and move forward, rather than spend my time answering comments saying ‘you cannot do this or that’. Anyway, no one should be interested in my goals except for myself.
However, I did not delete all mention of my previous goals, since it is not something that I intentionally hide. It is also not something that I am disgraceful of. It is something that I wanted in my life and regardless if I achieve it in the end, I can look back and reflect on my journey. Don’t worry though, I have no intention of hiding future comments saying that I did something wrong or that I am stupid or anything. If you have anything of this nature to post, you can still feel free to post and I don’t mind any insults that come my way, provided that there is no profanity.
With all these issues taken care of, I embark on the next journey of my life, the first official step into full-time employment, self-employment or business. I can’t make up my mind on which category I belong to at the moment, because I am involved in at least two of the categories at the moment. Recently, I posted that I rejected a job offer but now, I am working for that company because the boss said a single sentence that made me decide to work for him. The sentence, not in exact words: “Hang Wei, you are a very capable person, but all your energy is misdirected”
I started doubting my own capabilities a year ago and whether I can achieve great things in life. People around me say they think I can, but of course, everyone may be just out to encourage me. Now, I decided to work for my boss because I feel that I should not always be so calculative about whether I am underpaid or not. I should just take massive actions to prove to myself that my actions are productive and maybe the rewards will follow. Even if the rewards don’t follow, I will still have gained the confidence in myself and skills to achieve big things.
I trust that this decision should be a good one in time to come.

Ya…i realise…when people around us thinks that we can achieve great things….it somehow add a kind of pressure and sometimes I also wonder…will I in the end not achieve anything at all?
Ya….i also cannot decide which path i shd go…hee..but different from yours though. Mine is…whether to climb a corporate ladder or to teach…give up career advancement and teach for interest^^| Reality vs Interest!

“you are a very capable person, but all your energy is misdirected”
That is some words of wisdom.
Why not take that job and work on your business part time, at least at the end of the month got some money.
