"The Day" has come

What exactly are you after in this life? probably most people will answer: HAPPINESS!

Define Happiness! I've been wondering out of my hometown Jakarta for 3 years now. 2 years in a city in Indonesia called Medan and 1 year in Ho Chi Minh City-Vietnam. I've been working my butt-off day and night. Overtime and working on holidays are a normal thing for me.. For a while, I'm happy about it.. I love my company.. i respect and admire my boss.. nothing can stand my way... not even my family or my girl...

These days.. after +/- 4 years working for the company, i started to think everything over.. what do i after in this life??? Career? money? family? love? then i started to analyze... what do i get working for the past years in this company? Career? Yes; respect? Yes from everybody but NOT from my boss;  money? NOT really; Family? RUIN; Love? FUCKED UP!

Looking at the results, i started to re-order what's the most important thing in life(at least from my point of view) and i came up with a conclusion, followed by my utmost decision...

A couple of days afterwards, i announce my decision to my superior through email saying: "I QUIT!" :) This is what i think.. Yes money is important, Yes career is important, But by the end of the day.. if you don't really have someone to share with, someone to care for, someone who care for you.. those things are just a pile of SHIT!

I know there's so little i can do now to repay all my shitty attitude towards my family, towards the one i love, the one who loves me... I realized that being loyal to my company has little in return, just driving me further from my family and my love ones...

Well.. a lot of my colleagues and friends confused with my decision to resign without having another job... but what i want right now is just to rebuild my life... want to bring myself closer to God... want to have a healty serious relationship... i just want to start building my future from scratch!

Way to go Josh...;) You've made a damn right decision.

Well, at the so called "University of Life", we've been taught to learn as much as we can...and now you've learnt the most important lesson of life: "Money, career, etc., is important..BUT if you don't really have someone to share with, someone to care for, someone who care for you.. those things are just a pile of S#!T!"

So Joshua, life goes on, good luck, do your best and GOD will do the rest..;)
