今天早上添加了 Chris Wong 的一篇文章 The Path 到 happy collection。
Chris 和我年纪相仿,除了事业比我成功,他在文章中描述的想法简直像是直接从我大脑里读取出来的一样:
I still didn’t even know where The Path led. I realized I didn't want my job, I didn't want my boss' job, and I didn't even want my boss' boss' job. I was making a significant amount of money, but I wasn't actually creating value. To be successful in this industry was not by creating value but by making your boss look good. That didn't come naturally to me. I had already undermined my career by not putting in face time and by questioning my superiors.
一年前主动退休后,终于过上了想要的人生:
So for the past year I've been exploring what interests me. Cooking with my wife. Long walks. Writing on a blog that no one will find. Figuring out different ways to learn. Taking online courses. Teaching my wife how to snowboard. Doing things that I think are important, not things other people tell me are important. Things that I enjoy intrinsically. Things that I think improve me or that I can improve in the world.
每个人都有两条道路可以选择,一条是别人选的,一条是自己选的。
只有走上了自己选的道路,才算真正开始活着。
