Three weeks later ... I am now back in South Bay. Just finished unpacking the gifts for friends up here that I brought from down under.

Starting Monday onwards, I will do a different job. A job that fits what I am after as one of the dynamic field guy.

 

In the last three weeks, I noticed that whatever I planned does not go as it was. Somehow, all sort of delays happened beyond what I have foreseen. However, I also noticed that the delays that happened seemed like happening for a reason.

 

The video below is one of the 'incidental' and 'unplanned' encounter (but no delay happening!) and yet I found the inspirational words from there.

It was the scene after the old chap plays the violin on the street side and asked the (deaf) girl:

Girl: "Why am I different from others?"

Old chap: "Why ... do you have to be like others?"

 

Honestly, it hits me in the gut as that was the question that I asked myself wayyy back in the past. It was because I want to be like 'others' living their live, building family, retired happy, etc.

But as I progresses through my life, I noticed that I felt a kind of in a 'different' environment. My journey to seek the place where I think I have to be has started since I asked myself that question. Now that I am working in the high-tech center of the world (as of this writing), I used to try to find where I can be like other high-tech worker. (rest assured, I am not deaf even though sometimes I don't listen to people and they have to 'yell' at me for some 'alert'). Right after doing job in here, only then I noticed that I don't have to be like other high-tech worker. If I desired to do certain job, to be in the environment that I am looking for, to be the person that keep moving and changing with the change, to be ... (feel free to fill in for me, but I have my own list somewhere).

 

Enjoy the video below as another inspirational moments in a snapshot.

 

P.S.: I found the story to be inspiring. I don't plan to grow my hair like the girls featured in there (I used to but not anymore). I don't plan to be the violist (again, I used to but not at the moment), and I don't even plan to be deaf (I plan to listen to people more every day, which I hope I can also listen to nature and understand the meaning of ilife)

 

Enjoy ...
