Know your role.
Sometimes I look at my peers and I wonder why do they even bother try their very best if they don't like what they do. I mean they have the choice to actually pack up and leave; do what they love to do best. Because no one is stopping them. NO ONE! We have a choice.
Then as I listen to their rants and issues, they calm themselves down by justifying that this gig, the gig that they don't like to be part of, pays the rent and their lifestyle. Then out of respect, I will not roll my eyes at them. It's pointless.
At the end of the day, all of us have a choice; the choice to do what is best for our career and life. Don't worry about what happens in the future; worry about what will happen now. InsyaAllah, everything will be ok wan! Take my situation as an example. I dropped out of university because my dad passed away; I didn't know how to pay my tuition fees. Fortunately, I discovered advertising.
When I took on this path I didn't know what to expect. I just wanted to work and make sure that everything will be a-okey; that my brothers were taken care off (when you're an orphan, it's hard to think about anything else).
So fast forward 8.6 years later and I'm now in an MNC advertising agency. Getting paid for sitting in an air-conditioned office, with a nice Apple laptop.
Yeah, no one wants to leave this gig.
