These days, logging onto Facebook makes me depressed altogether.
My friends, mostly fresh graduates who are ready to take on the world, are well, literally doing so. I’m talking about Graduation trips here, not work. Hence the mild-turning-severe, never-to-recover-unless-i-get-an-awesome-holiday Depression.
Give me a min, let me tally the cities they have left their traces on
Seoul, Taipei, Tokyo, Koh Samui, Paris, Athens, New York, Shanghai, Beijing…
If you have recently visited these cities recently, within the past 30 days, then I am probably talking about you!
Nepal - while it's amongst the world's top 10 travel destinations, it's is my number one!
My best friend told me, ‘early birds get the worms, don’t worry, you’re inching towards your dream every extra second you put in’ As you probably guessed it, she skipped grad trip too.
Okay, enough talk about depression, it’s a bluff to get you to read this far. laugh it off, and we start over again?
Holidays are absolutely nourishing for the mind, body and soul (less on the soul for me as it pains my heart to spent e $). Everyone needs a break. I am going to Ko Lanta for a short getaway this month end after convincing myself that I deserve it.
Japamala is one of the world's top 10 ultra boutique resorts. Visited it two years ago for its low-season package. Fantastic value for money!
My decision to skip a full-length grad trip is purely based on economic grounds. Not because of the 1,209,600 seconds (14 days) headstart my friend suggested. She probably made up this ‘feel good sentence’. Can’t blame her, what else could her reply be to my complains?
After investing nearly 10k into Artyii, my reserves are dry and I’m hungry. Hungry for success, so logically thinking that’s good right?
Moreover my other entreprenuerial friend, Keith, says that he’s working 7 days a week on Socialico (his company). So there isn’t time for real holidays in the first few years of your start-up.
In my opinion, business owners don’t have offical opening and closing hours. Even on holidays, working thoughts can creep up your mind. You will always be thinking ‘what else can be done?’ Because your job scope is not fixed. Nothing is ever enough. If you ever fool youself into thinking that it’s enough, then beware of the ‘C’ word, Complacency. This kills, remember Venice? (quoting Yong Xiang)
Dear friends who are enjoying their holidays right now. Get crazy, recharged and have FUN. Forget about the 1,209,600 seconds headstart, it’s totally negligible anyway.
And for the small handful friends who are like myself, think of the headstart you are riding on right now!
What a terrible two-faced liar I’m becoming.
