Some friends here comments that I’m a very workaholic person. And I repeatedly answer back that I’m really not. It just happened that I’m “in the beginning” stage of being a businessman – the most critical part of managing own business, and has started to sacrifice my time “for leisure”. Leisure for me is when you spend a whole day for fun – any kind of trips, travel, picnic, househops – basically, to unwind. And I don’t just count my friends for leisure. They’re always in my thoughts whatever I am doing. What has been sacrificed was my physical presence with them. But whenever they need to talk to me, get some junky advices, I’m always around virtually. It’s as good as real, right? And I am still holding the greatest aspect in friendship – communication. Of course I miss going out, timing just doesn’t really work good lately.
From the day I started working here, I set my mind to have and create balanced activities for me. I have enough time for work, for leisure, for friends, and when the time a special someone rocks into my world – a valuable time for her. I’m not employee-minded that’s why I work more than 8 hours a day – because I work for myself, and not for another person’s company. I get to finish my work more efficient and quicker. As a result, I got to reserve more time for myself and for leisure. At this point in my life I’m able to reserve quality and quantity of time for my future, for my family – with whom I really want to dedicate precious time. Long term it seem but this is how I think.
At the end of the day, it’s all about self-respect in what I want to do and to become. And I’m just acting in line with achieving my goals. In a certain sense, our work is us. We get into it and it gets into us. Is it workaholic? My bestfriend Emsie always say, “It’s a blessing to be busy.” It’s true.
I still sleep 6 hours a day – enough for me, lucky if I have 8. I still have time to play, I still go out and jog for 2 – 3 hours. And hey! If I’m workaholic, I won’t have time to blog.
