What is ur ideal job?

This is a post about the ways of making sure that u r doing the right job for ur success - from what I've read or listened. This may not be so important now, but its importance grows as u get older in the pursuit of success.

Ask urself these questions:

1. If u get 1 million today, would u still be doing ur job tomorrow?

- If u ask Chef Wan this, would he stop cooking? I bet no because he really3 love cooking. But if u ask someone whose reason for working is merely to 'cari duit', this guy will definitely quit his job straightaway n do something else.

---------

2. What job would u still be doing even when u don't get paid a penny

- Did u know that Donald Trump has been on the brink of bankruptcy and in millions of debts? He was not only getting zero(not a penny), in fact it was negative!(less than zero). U see, because he loved what he did, he continued doing his job until he succeeded.

- Think of it this way : do u think singers only sing when someone is paying them? no! a true singer would sing anywhere n anytime - whether there's anyone listening or not. For example, they'd sing in the toilet, waiting for someone in the car alone, riding a motorcycle, and definitely on a stage. U see? a true singer not only sing when they get paid(on a stage), but also when no one's paying(anytime n anywhere else).

---------

3. What is something that u would u do if u were guaranteed to succeed?

- the question says it all. what is it?

---------

4. What job would u do if u only have 3 years left to live?

- same with this one. ask urself.

---------

* Ur ideal job should be smthg that doesn't make u think about retiring - how old do u think Sir Alex Ferguson (manager of Manchester United F.C) is? He's 68! The average people would've retired at least 8 years ago but he's not coz he really likes his job.

* Ur ideal job is something u do bcoz u choose to. Not bcoz u have to.

* Ur ideal job should make u feel that sometimes, when u r going to bed at night, u feel like u cant wait to wake up to do the job the next morning.

To finish, the answer may not come now. i myself haven't got the answer, but we have to keep asking ourselves these questions till we get the answer.
