My working last week has been a little depressing. First time I realize the inflexibility while working, seriously crippling my plans and timetable. The freedom and enthusiasm to learn has been taken away because of an intolerable system. I have to pass away so many meaningful activities and talks given by precious speakers in NUS and it is pain to know that I missed them. Eventually I got so reluctant to open my emails because I know I am going to miss something good.
But isn’t that the working life? Doing something value adding to others and not yourself?
My flame to be an entrepreneur burns more fiercely after my internship experience. It is better to work 6 days a week and exhaust yourself for something that has value to you, not your boss and not the paycheck. It is the satisfaction that counts, the busy life that has meaning, the battle that is adventurous yet leads you to victory eventually.
Another valuble lesson is:
Never choose 5.5-day workweek, give some time to work on yourself. You can OT to death on weekdays but weekends should be used to support the work-life balance idea.
