thicket by thicket



"never continue in a job you don't enjoy.
if you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace. and if
you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined."
*
- johnny carson (american tv host, 1925-2005)

i not only need to like the work i do, i also need it to like me. i need to be sure that i can - and will - do it well.
it's not the first time i've followed my instincts, and made a decision like this.
i hope it's the last, though.

  1. this photo is very good in a confusing way. I'm looking for th focus point and I cannot find it. I hope you have a good focus on your life and carreer.
    But you are very right, of course. I couldn't do a job anymore that I don't like or that doesn't like me.
    I haven't really done that up until now. So I hope I never have to start.
    Whatever you do, decide, have done, decided: good luck!

  5. You are very right! Life is too short to spend your life in a job you are not happy with. Even you blog suffered.
    I am sure you'll find something else, maybe closer to yor home.
