“Follow your heart” — How?

Dear Readers,

Thank you for coming here!

I remember many years ago, when I started my consulting career, I had to do a MBTI test.

I had to do one initial test and a verification test some time later.

So the results from my verification test turned out to be exactly the opposite of my initial test. (If you are wondering, no! I do not have split personality. My scores were weak along all dimensions.)

I showed my results to the coach and asked how I should tell my type if asked. She said “Follow your hearts”.

I said Ok and went on drinking (If you are wondering, Yes! Drinking is pretty much the whole point of all consulting trainings, team buildings, offsites etc etc, as least from my experiences. I wont say I am a very good consultant though.)

That was my way of saying “Bullshit” to her in that specific situation.

But trust me, I really want to follow my heart. But how?

If the matter is small, anyhow can. I do not need to ask my heart or anything.

If the matter is big, I do not seem to hear any voice from my heart. Or I hear one voice one day and a totally different one the next.

I am faced with another decision now. Taking the risk could put me on top of the World or cause me to lose what I have now.

I can still live well with what I have now. Hell, it is actually much more than what I could hope for, say one year ago.

But this opportunity, if it works out, will definitely put me in a totally different league. 

What do I do?

What do I do? 

Till next time!

Merry Christmas!

Dear Readers,

Thank you for coming here!

 

Christmas is a little more than one day away.

I am sure you are geared up for the festival and break!

I would like to wish you and your family Merry Christmas!

Also a quick update from me. Read on only if you are interested.

Christmas is expected to be short for me, so is New Year as well as Chinese New Year.

My current commitment stretches beyond Chinese New Year till Mid/Late Feb 2022.

The work is going to be heavy, challenging and time-sensitive.

Good thing is that I am working in a good team and they cut me some slack because I am new. 

So it is stressful, but manageable.

I will try to switch off when it is family time and festival time. The sky wont fall anyway.

But the stress would stay in the background nevertheless.

This is the trade-off, stress and time for growth and future.

I longed for the opportunities and complained upon being rejected to them.

So I will make the best out of this one. 

And I have to say this blog is a helpful place for me to drag myself out of work and have some private time to reflect, recollect and recover.

Thank you very much for staying with me. Otherwise, I might have stopped long ago.

Thank you and again Merry Christmas!

Quick Updates - Investment, Gaming and Opportunities

Dear Readers,

Thank you for coming here! 

I have been pretty occupied with work lately.

So here comes another “lazy” post.

1.Burned back and forth, up and down

My portfolio…

It hurts me to look at it.

After a week of recovery, this week it tanked again.

What’s worse, I am not really sure what to do with it.

So I will continue to be an ostrich.

2.Gaming interest fading

I have lost interest somewhat a bit in gaming.

I cannot find any exciting games to play now.

I am really waiting for Chinese Paladin 7 to come out and see how it is.

I was really impressed by the Swords of Legends 3.

3.Another opportunity knocks but I am not sure about it

I am still a bit scared by the offer retraction.

That makes unsure about this one.

My life now is not super, but ok. Actually, I can make myself feel satisfied with it.

With this opportunity, better perspectives, growth and money will be available to me, and at the same time, I will be exposed to the risk of another offer retraction.

It is most likely a no-brainer for most people. For me, I need to think and evaluate hard.

Maybe some more time will tell.

I will keep you guys updated.

Till next time!
