Well, at least wring and posting something makes me feel better. I STUMBLED UPON (or is it STUMBLE UPONED?) a website the talks about doing what you really love in life for a living.(Link: What Should I Do With My Life?) Me? I’m in the health care business. I get people well. That’s good enough. In the article it says that I should be really excited about what I do in life. Something that doesn’t drain me or make me feel tired at the end of the day. So that got me thinking…. Meh shit, wonder if I went down the wrong path. So what do I do now? My parents/family spent like RM 400, 000 on my education. Am I to just to dump it all away and say fuck it? What about doing what I like? I like sleeping, playing computer games, lazing around, Watching Tv, and basically doing nothing. Yes I like all that. So if I’m gonna do what I like for a living, how am i supposed to earn money by playing computer games and sleeping and watching tv? Here, go play games for me and I ‘ll pay some dollars per hour. Heh Yeah right. And no i’m not good enough to game competitively. I enjoy building computers though, but there’s a TON of other people doing that already. Maybe I can do it on the side? Here are my exact thoughts I wrote down on notepad earlier today:
[ "what do really want to do in my life? how can i serve others while still enjoying myself at the same time
i loe computers
electornic stuff
installing computers?
fixing stuff up?
building computers?
that’s like a ara hobby thing
hmm
wonder if i can do it for a living
start a computer shop next time eventually
i think i would like to do that”
Well maybe just a dream. Money is gonna be nowhere near as good as what I’m doing now though. But if it makes me happy? Shieett… At this point I will usually quite this thinking going on inside my head and put it on the back burner. ok ok, but seriously.. What do i really want to do? What if i DO start the computer thing, and then i end up not liking it anyway? Maybe once I’m stable enough I can go do this computer thing part time. Don’t think the money’s very good though is it?
Because when it comes to electronics, the only way to make business is to give better service for less price. example: cpus, motherboards, mp3 players, whatever: the price ALWAYS comes down. So if you buy stock for a certain price, and the price halves in 6 months time, what do you do with the old stock? sell it at a loss? And when people shop for electronics, they always hunt for the best bargain. Well, that’ what I do anyway. So if someone wants to buy a card, like say and nvidia 9600gt. They can hop from shop to shop, or make a couple of phone calls until they find the cheapest shop selling that video card. And even then, the person selling it will only be making a tiny percentage of the profit because he’s selling it at such a low price. So in electronics, the only way you can win and make profit is by trying to beat the market by having the lowest price available .Price wars until everyone makes barely enough to survive.
Wonder if those OEM suppliers have such a thing as, ok if you don’t sell this thing in 2 years time, we’ll buy it back from you so that you don’t suffer any loss. That will be awesome for the shop fellas. doesn’t make economic sense for the OEM suppliers though. Oh well. Shit again.
Do what i really enjoy with barely any money available?
Or do what i enjoy somewhat with a lot of money available?
