RE: What if You Didn't Go to Work Tomorrow?
A lot of food for thought there. When I retired, I thought I would get to do all the things I missed out on while working. What happened? I ended up working for myself in the same field as before. I made a change, took a great risk and did something that I had often thought about but never tried. Always excuses, bills to pay, children to see through school etc. What I do now is a total shift from the field I was trained in. I have been at it for 15 years, it's still scary at times but I will never look back. Steemit also offers the road to new adventures but so many people are afraid to take the chance.
We tend to use excuses a lot, don't we?
When in all reality there is always something we can give up, or spend less time or money on, or whatever.
It IS scary. Changes and risks always are. But the rewards are priceless- and you WILL be rewarded if you do not give up!
I believe so strongly in Steemit as the future, and a limitless one at that, that I took the chance. I could have made excuses. As a completely single mom of three with zero child support, I cannot invest money as I juggle bills every month atm, but I am absolutely investing what I believe is an even greater commodity- time. I am investing all my spare time in Steemit :)
Good for you for taking the risk! You said it- just jump and never look back :)
My only problem I am finding difficulty with is juggling time to get to all the things I have to do in the day. I admire you for you positivity in tackling this challenge. I feel as though my problems are not quite so bad when thinking of the responsibilities you are carrying. I wish you all the success and keeping on steeming.
Juggling time. I hear that!
Just gotta prioritize :)
Thank you <3
Me too I was trained in mathematics, physical science, economics, business. Analytical stuff. Now I am having fun working with languages and playing electric bass. My lucky break was when I got into Harvard. A liberal arts education helps you get a cool rounded view of things.
It is strange how fate sometimes take a hand in our lives. If you had asked me 20 years ago what would I have been doing with my life today, I never would have guessed it.
What did you think at that time you would have been doing?
I spent most of my life in the technical field working for Siemens in South Africa. I was the chief commissioner for the testing and handing over of automatic telephone exchanges in Natal. When I retired I formed a company and continued in a similar field installing and commissioning CCTV and Biometric systems. It was by accident that I became involved with the antique and bookselling business. I am very happy to be sharing some of these experiences on steemit.
Me too. You must have a lot of useful technical knowledge then. Thanks for connecting on here. I hope YOU have a WONDERFUL day!
Definitely. Being able to use the creative side of the brain is important for a fulfilling life.
