Today is the 3rd day of Chinese New Year. I'm back to work. Quite free. No appointment is scheduled for this week. Most of my comrades, clients, partners are not working this week. Glad to read this article - Why I Told My Daughter to Quit Her Job. This is sourced from HUFF POST. Feel free to click and read it :)

Since I don't think I shall copy & paste the entire article here, please allow me to share a few parts which I personally like.

• Life is too short to be miserable for money. [Honestly I've started to think like this before I turned 24 - not sure if that is considered lucky or unlucky :D]


• College, you see, is not really about preparing you for the job market. It's about gaining the knowledge and skills you need to seize opportunities -- and that includes knowing when to walk away from something that makes you unhappy.


• If you land that seemingly "perfect" job with a salary worth boasting about, but then you hate it and are afraid to quit, your wings are clipped. That "safe" job will kill your creativity, drown your enthusiasm, and smother your ability to get up in the morning with a bounce in your step. Why stay?


• Jobs are like college courses. Each one you take teaches you a set of new skills and offers a fresh perspective on life. They aren't meant to be permanent, most of them. They are only stepping stones.


• When you quit a job, any job, it can be terrifying. But it's also exhilarating, as you open yourself to new possibilities. So go ahead. Take the risk. Quit that job, if you hate it. You might surprise yourself.
