Sometimes i felt that time passes too slowly. Sometimes i felt that time was almost flying, too fast for me to catch up.
the fact that i am gonna be stuck in this job means that i cannot afford to lose it. i learnt a lot, but not enough. somehow my brain is limiting my capabilities. i guess what kr said was right; i could stay, but i would never climb up high.
anyways, im thinking about my career now. everytime i told myself, "20 years is more than enough for you to fly up high, earn a decent income." question, do i want high income? answer: yes. next question, if i were to live like this for that "decent income", would i want? i start to think.
i'm trying to create multiple sources of income. the main passive cashflow being from investments. i thought to myself, maybe if i earn that much, like andre, i could easily pump in thousands into stocks and shares as and when i like, and reap much more profits and income from there. i would be able to achieve my passive income faster.
that was my meaning of "time passing by too slowly" for me.
on the other hand, if i want that speed of financial growth, i need to learn fast, promote fast. its very challenging for someone like me who had no common sense nor street-smart instincts to make sound decisions. i had to learn the hard way, and by going through that, its taking a toll on my mind and body. i am just afraid that one day my hair will drop, like andre's. but seeing him like this easily tell me that he's been through a damn lot before he got to what he is today.
asked myself, am i ready for that? or do i have other priorities? yes, i do have other priorities. My kids.
bingo. kids.
that's going to slow me down even further in achieving passive income. im in a dilemma now. if i work more and earn more money, i wont have time for family. Vice versa.
Crossroads now. I want the best of the 3 worlds: money, kids, time. none of them are giving way to me. what now.
