I am tired of looking, so let me trying…
Just now, I read an interesting entry in Arief blog. It is very interesting for me because more or less I know him and what he had been thru for the last 9 years, since we are in junior high school. But on top of that, his writing makes me questioning about myself, about what decisions that I have made, and about how I live my life rite now. Do I really love what I am doing rite know?
Steve Job in his speech in the graduation ceremony of Stanford University 2005 said that the only way to do the great work is to love what you do. He said that we have to find what we love and if we haven’t find it yet, Don’t Settle, Keep Looking.
I couldn’t agree more with him. I do believe when he said that we need to find the job that we love as it is for our lovers. There are actually only two places where we spent most our times as we become an adult, home and work place. To have a happy life means that we have to find happiness in those two places. We will be happy in home when we have peoples that we love around us, and we will be happy in our work place when we love what we do.
Steve Job is a very lucky person. Not because he is very smart nor very rich, coz I believe there are lot of people smarter or richer than him. He is very lucky because he can find what he loves and he does what he loves. But not every people as lucky as him to find what they love. The next question is how if we will never find it? Shall we keep looking? Until when?
For me, until now, I haven’t really found what I love to do. So shall I keep looking? And my answer is No, I shouldn’t. I might be tired of looking. Am I giving up? No, I am not. Because maybe I am not that lucky to find what I love but maybe what I should do is to try to love what I do now. Maybe someday, eventually, I can learn how to love it and finally really love what I do.
So, if you ask me whether I love what I do now, my answer is I don’t but I try to. Will I love it someday? I don’t know, but one thing that I know for sure is, I am tired of looking, so let me trying….
