All good things have to come to an end as they say. 2 more weeks and I will bid farewell to the land of kimchi. Always at this juncture you think about the hits and misses. Things you could have done better, things you could have accomplished (like losing weight when the project is winding down!)
After almost 20 years in the job market you tend to be a bit wiser and cautious. The dreams you had before 30 has come and gone (achieved and lost) and now I am in my 40s but I suddenly realized I never set a goal for myself for 40, what was I supposed to be when I reach 40?
On the upper side I have friends who started out the same now holding Senior positions in the government, some are Country Managers for MNCs, some are successful businessman, roaming town in Ferraris and Lamborghinis, on the other hand we have friends who are still struggling day to day and could not afford his own house. Further of this end of course you have earthquake stricken Nepalese who are in dire state or the Rohingyas who are floating on the sea denied refugees status by neighboring countries.
Do you complain? Yes you sometimes complain or feel bad for yourself and think you could have done better. But when you think you are among the more fortunate 10% population in world who have a roof over your head and food on your table should you not be grateful for what you have?
After this month is unchartered waters again… where will fate lead me to? End up 6 months with no job? End up in Singapore? China? Back to Korea? No one knows…
To be revealed in June…
