Suddenly Acquired FigureS
A bunch of SAFS (Suddenly Acquired FigureS) came into my possession and only had time to open and play with Nida and Moetan before I left for Germany. Was nice to come back home to open some of these while in the lounge trying to get over the jetlag. For some reason, all of these are manufactured by Good Smile or Max Factory...
Another Figma Haruhi get.
Figma Saber get. Looking at all these free figures, I was just thinking how much I love my job ^^;
I guess I'm happy that my job involves me doing what I do best and am most passion about - building web applications. Building my hobbies and interests (otaku) into my work has worked out extremely well too.
I do design and make shoes too but its not what I'm best at or most passionate about.
This brings me to the mails I receive from folks who are at a lost and not sure what to do in their career.
My suggestion has always been the same. Identify what you do best and are most passionate about and then talk to as many people as possible and research possibilities and opportunities in that area.
As you approach your areas of passion, you will eventually discover the meaning of your existence and once you have done that, the passion inside of you will fuel you until you fulfill the purpose of your existence.
What I would not suggest is to choose a line of work just for the monies.
Money is important but you cant take it with you when you die. Dying with peace in mind that you spent your life (however long or short) doing something that you are most passionate about will give you more fulfillment as you recall all the destinations that you reached in your lifetime and that you fulfilled your purpose.
As a teenager, I remember being at a lost as to what I wanted to do in life and ended up choosing courses in college just because my friends chose them. Was quite a depressing time in life for me.
It was when I realized that I was most passionate about Japanese culture (games, anime, 2D girls, idols and a dream of living in Tokyo) that lead me to learn Japanese. I felt I had a goal in life and soon felt much better about being alive. The steps I took from starting to learn Japanese in the UK as a teenager up to working for Microsoft in Tokyo has been written up in my Learning Japanese article.
Ah, me has gone off at a really big tangent completely off topic ^^;
Figure haul article into a motivational piece...
Anyway, are you happy with what you are doing with your life right now?
If the answer is "no" then this post may help a bit. If the answer is "yes" then great! Keep at it and remain focused on what you do - not difficult if you are passionate about what you do. You can accomplish anything with passion and focus.
