Opportunities

My husband and I went out tonight with his friends to celebrate new (and better) jobs for two people. I'm reminded of the two people I just lost the past four months for better job opportunities. One is now in Singapore at a multinational technology firm, and one is now the CFO of a medium-sized company. My husband's friends are in Marketing, and the two people I just lost are in Finance. I feel happy. There seems to be a lot of people around me who are finding better opportunities for themselves and their families. I guess we all have to find our own "corner of the sky" while we can. These people have dared to find their destiny, not being content in what is comfortable and stable. In the end, we should be in a job that will make us happy, whether our reasons be financial, intellectual or self-fulfillment.

Sometimes I feel sad that I've lost people, people whom I have relied upon heavily over the past few years. But I feel more proud that they have dared to spread their wings. After all, I am sure that I was part of their professional growth. Anyway, I still have people left and will have new people coming in for me to guide and mentor, and hopefully, they too can find the path that will provide them fulfillment and happiness.
