I see where you coming from... <br /><br />When I talk about craftsmanship, I often picture a lone craftsman doing his craft in a little shack... <br /><br />After the day is done, then he goes wine, woman, and song with other craftsmen ;)<br /><br /><br />Yup, different life stages... There's a season and time for everything...<br /><br />The past 4 years, I've not ventured outside of Singapore!?<br /><br />I've not missed travelling as there were interesting activities I'm discovering in Singapore ;)<br /><br /><br />I hear you.<br /><br />Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-58996719637456730362018-01-09T06:24:36.218+08:002018-01-09T06:24:36.218+08:00I used to think tt too. We control our time and we...I used to think tt too. We control our time and we made time for things tt matters.<br /><br />Reality, that 24 hrs, you can have only that much. There are many things that i enjoyed but i have yet to do. Because, time is allocated to do those "needs" and the priority "wants". This is especially so when you are parents of two without maid and parents help. Lol. I enjoy every moment but there are things Just not reached the queue yet. Maybe never will anymore? Stages of life. <br /><br />That is why i said even if i am not working, i have no problem filling up the rest of my life with activities with joy.<br /><br />Whether i enjoy my works, very much depend on the people. Mastery of craft is just the basic. Once i mastered, i will started to feel bored. But work is not my priority, remember?

Continue to find the job which is of our interest with the buffer of FU money as the back-up plan.<br /><br />I think that this is a better option than relying solely om the FU money. The critical will be the shift in the mentality in which one should not treat job as the supporting beam. As you mentioned that if one is not happy, jump ship!<br /><br />BenWTKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459028978258841179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-14007705152064799062018-01-07T22:27:00.930+08:002018-01-07T22:27:00.930+08:00Ben,
