[Discussion] Should I be here, there or everywhere? >.<''
10:16 PMHey hey foodies and lovelies. Hope you guys are doing well as July is just around the corner. ^^
Since most of the time I share stories about Food, new journey in Lifestyle, Beauty, Travel and etc, why not we have some discussion like personal chat??? (ceh wah... sounds like very serious oh.. ^^"")
The title of today's discussion is:
Between a Job that you love and a Job that you don't even know,
which will you choose / do?
I know it's very personal discussion, just.... I need some advise and knowledge from you guys about career decision making. I do read and survey few articles about Blogging journey, how to earn money from blogging and much more. Why do I study about this article? Due to my last year's accident story, is way too hard for me to continue my dream job (which I chase this job for 3 years before the confirm employment), back to my Broadcast Media life (where I can't travel and stay active like last time) and I'm a lil lost in my Dancing life (I'm a celebrity's dance instructor before this nightmare begins). I know it's about fate and when there's a way being blocked. there's a better way coming up.
I don't even really remember how to write Japanese Click here to know me more => Apple Berry |
I'm lucky enough that there's a lot of job out there that giving me a lot of benefits if I'm with them, but most of the Job is not my cup of tea (I should not be very choosey, right? ^^""). I do understand that I can succeed in Blogging journey no matter how hard it is, as long as I put 101% of effort and time, there is no issue. I do even know that living in our dream life, happy life is confirm there, BUT... can I survive? I still need stable income to clear my education debt and etc. Should I take up that Job (that is not my cup of tea job) to survive so that I can have better future?
Hope to get advise and some ideas from you guys about this as I'm still new in this industry. What is a Must, Mustn't, Do's and Don'ts that I should think before I made a choice. Really sorry if you guys don't really understand what I'm talking about as I just main tulis saje since my head is really pain of making decision. Thanks in advance if lovelies and foodies do give me some comments, advise or ideas as it's an opportunity for me to look further.
Hope to get back my life that can be better me. Foodilicious ^.^

Do both...hehehhe For me I try not to rely on one source of income...
ReplyDeleteWhy do both? better secure of future, in terms of stability. Plus the job that you love will be easy for you to handle as you will always have the motivation to do it..regardless of whether you are tired or not...
the hate job, well, you need the money..so yea..hahhahaha :P
Its just my view though...
I do thought about this solution before. Just really depends on me accept the hate job a not right? Anyway, thanks for the advise babe. ^.^
Deletei write from my heart, make it natural , love what you do and do what you love,hehe
ReplyDelete^.^ thanks for giving this note as a reminder
DeleteHi hi! I'm in my last semester currently and will be joining the work force soon! Just a personal opinion, I think maybe you can look for job which you doesn't like but yet it provides you with certain benefits. haha opportunity cost! Need to sacrifice either one><"
ReplyDeleteI do thinking about this as well. Anyway thanks for the opinion ^^
DeleteAs a newbie i think better you just accept whatever they offered you for you to survive in the beginning stage of this blogging industry. Once people out there are familiar with you then sure you will get more jobs. Just explore first and you will discover is it your passion or not..

Ya, time do give me answer. Thanks for the advise ^.^
Deletei blogged to express and share my experience. i've tried to make it as a source of income by writing daily, planning on what to write etc but i just doesn't go that well. i cant write if i dont have the heart to do so.my advice is, to take things slowly but maintained it well.i'm positive u can succeed in bot world.good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks for thw advise and motivation Salma. Will think am I good in managing my duty.
DeleteFor me, i would just take that job to support my life. as i have bills to pay and everything. at the same time, save up for the near future as when u think of quitting, u have money in store already. apart from that, always do ur blogging at the same time. side income never hurts :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advise. Will have a critical thinking section of your opinion ^.^
DeleteFor me, I still need a job to provide steady income to support my life. Blog can be do it as part time and hobby where it can generate little incomes as pocket money.
ReplyDeleteIf possible, try continue do both at the same time. It might need so persistence and a lot of hard works to do so, but you will feel very satisfied with your life by end of the day ^_^

Will try to maintain both as I will have work life balance right? Thanks for the advise ^.^
DeletePerhaps a steady income while building up reputation of your blog. it's not one or two days thing, right.
ReplyDeleteYa... I do agree that blogging world is not 1 to 2 days job. Thanks for the adviae ^.^
DeleteI think alot of career decisions should be also based on character.
ReplyDeleteSome would be able to adapt easily and change while climbing up the ladder.
But there are also some who work better in a constant state, and will falter if change happens.
Which are you?
Next question is what do you want to be in 5 years?
What is your definition of success?
Rich? Famous? Comfortable?
Aim for that idea of success, and make your decision on that, I guess, since there is never just 1 right answer.
Really have never think of what I want to achieve in blogging world for the next 5 years. Looks like I need to have a brainstorm about your advise and suggestions. Thank you so much for giving me this such valuable advise ^.^
DeleteIf you think you can give full commitment and love doing all these stuff related to blogging, then you can focus more on blogging but take it as part time job first. Once it's on stable stage, then you might consider to make it full time. Good luck yo!
ReplyDelete^.^ thanks for the advise and motivation. ^.^
DeleteWe are living in a world that needs money to support everything! I would like find a job as I have my own commitment to pay monthly. I blog for the interested of writing it, I wouldn't call it full time unless I am already succeeding.
ReplyDeleteYa... I back to blog is because its a hobby and activity for me during my recovery process. Thanks for the advise ^.^
DeleteYou’ve got to find what you love, so you will do best!
ReplyDelete^.^ thanks for the motivation ^.^
DeleteApple, added u in fb unintentionally but never regret it. The traffic accident was tragic for u but thanks God you're ok now.
ReplyDeleteTo make a living from blogging you have to be professional like a trained journalist, write with intense background research, creative and be original.
Some casual bloggers do gained sudden fame but that's rare now. Blogging causally is outdated, just like Space, Msn or icq. For me what's in is this mobile social networking world where a 5 or 70 years old can post news feed anytime through their mobile phone.
As for working in full time job, can bet with u that 70% of the people do not like their current jobs.
So just work in a job u do not like 30% and continue to write your blog.
Good luck.
Thank you so much for such motivativated advise. I should be the one feel lucky to know you and helping me to be better me. ^.^
DeleteIt is always best to maintain balance and motivate yourself.. I am impressed that you can do that...as sometimes I do find it hard doing it myself..
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment Miera. Im still in learning process. ^.^
DeleteMy advice is to prioritize.
ReplyDeleteYou can have the job that will pay the bills (even though not loving it), just do it accordingly.
As for me, I am thankful that I love my job.
But here is my idea so that I could have my hobby and job going on at the sam time.
After office hour, I cut down the time I used for TV watching or anything else, just spend at least 2 - 3 hours to do what I love.
Hope the advice helps.
Thanks Rawlin for the advise. Will manage and adjust my time to spend on my hobby. ^.^
DeleteI believe most of us blogs as part of our interest and why not do both, take it as part of your life experience while you can make some income too! WHY NOT?
ReplyDelete(Y) really thanks for the reminder and advise. ^.^
DeleteI think it depends on every individual. As for me, I have a lot of commitments so I would find a job that will help pay my bills but of cuz we need to love what we do too hence, to balance it out, I blog. it helps and is like a win win situation
ReplyDeleteYes.. That's true. I should remain my life balanfe so that i can be happy me. ^.^
Deletefollow your heart.. your heart will show you the way
ReplyDeleteWill follow my heart.. Always... :)
Deletei think it's important to do something you know you can do in the long term, doesn't have to be one company but a particular line of work maybe
ReplyDeleteI do trying to understand the things im trying to do, just scare no one able to accept me.
DeleteIs depend how you think~ Think of why you started blogging ? Then you may find out what you want. For me, i now a newbie and enjoy blogging life ..haha
ReplyDeleteI started blogging since young because its like a diary for me to share stories. I will continue to be me to find the way out like you. Thanks for the advise Shin May. ^^
DeleteHmmm seriously I always struggle with these issues too. But I know that although I do the job I hate, I still got income. With the income I need, I can do the things I like, I can buy the things I like. So I start to overcome the hatred, but feeling grateful to have a job that I can help sustain and provide daily needs I need in life. Eventually you will get a job you like in life =D The world is big enough for you to explore dear.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the motivated advise Sharon. I will always keep this in mind. ^.^
DeleteI would always love to have a stable job and also pursue my passion. So far it has worked well..
ReplyDeleteSince you can do it, why not I do it too? ^.^
DeleteI not sure what you are going thru right now, but don't give up. you will be better one day and do more than what you expect. For my advise, I would rather work for something I really Love rather than doing something I hate. According to my experience, work and LIFE definitely have to be balance. Without a work life balance, you life is meaningless. Fully utilize your spare time with what you love and stay happy and healthy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advise. I will manage my time to be better me. ^.^
DeleteWherever there is a will there's a way, jia you!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ivy for the reminder. I will do my best to overcome everything.
Deleteit's a good question to ask yourself but always find a firm ground on the past decisions you made. There is no regrets in life but lessons.
ReplyDeleteWow... I think I know where to study and get my answer. Thank you so much Arisa
DeleteWhen u throw a question to the universe, the universe will respond to you. Our words send waves and vibration of energy to the universe and it will manifest itself and give you the answer. Look up on Access Consciousness. It's a good question you have right there, but u can change the way of the question and make it a choice. Remember, every choice u make creates ur future
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for giving me to know where and how to be better me. ^.^
Deletehmm...never try never know! Do try out 1st, if you dont like, then discontinue it. If you try and like it, you can always continue :) at least when you tried, you have 50% chance :) Cheers, siennylovesdrawing
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the motivated advise. I do give a shot now and hope to get valuable experience. :)
