Not just a job

I am now a manager. I am now having a better take-home pay. I am now having better work-life balance. I report to work from 8.30am to 6.00pm. During the course of work, I set routines, solve issues and accmomplish tasks. But I know that it's not just a job. It's doing what I like to do.

For the past 2 days, I was at a high-level workshop. There were 2 segments for the workshop, (i) to understand and appreciate the international complexity of air cargo security, and (ii) to socialise and network with people all round the world. I enjoyed the course thoroughly, for it fulfilled my ability to (i) enhance my personal growth and development, and (ii) strengthen my marketing and conversational skills.

A job isn't a job anymore. Afterall, it pays me to do what I like, i.e. to break the ice and understand what businesses I can match-make. It gives me a stable income and yet allows me to grow incrementally. I allows me to be myself, only then can I shine as a person.

I look at others - those who complain about their job. Some say it's the job that sucks. But I figured that it could be a misfit between the person and the job too. I'm glad that I got myself a 'right' job. Or is this too true to be called a dream one?
