At times, when I observe two individuals, one brimming with motivation, purpose, courage, and wisdom, while the other seems to embody the concept of 'average,' I find myself pondering the root of this disparity. This contemplation is not merely an intellectual exercise but a philosophical journey that holds practical implications for shaping the future generation.

I want to blog again. This has been in my mind for a while: I wonder instead of being hired full time by a company, can I be a freelancer getting paid based on my contribution. This idea come from the realization that if I can get fully committed to my employer endeavor, it is great. But it has been the case that after working for my previous employers for a while, I become lukewarm at work, and it is too drastic to make a change in my position. So I play safe and continue to stay in my role for too long until I no longer could tolerate it.

Vagabond

前陣子和友人出來吃飯聊天。我們是三年前在一個共享空間裡認識的。那時他搞了個產品,搞了一陣子,他認為做不下去,然後和一位合伙做了另一家公司幫客戶做市場推廣的專項,其後其中一名客戶就幹脆聘了他進公司的電子市場部內。

這次吃飯,各自聊過近況後,話題都不其然又回到我們之前為之死去活來的東西-創業。他認為做初創的人都是自私的,他們都在犧牲著家人的福祉來成就自己,又覺得當時這麼辛苦,都不知為了什麼?一方面所有事情都要自己一手一腳操辦,不懂寫程式,得邊學邊寫;不知怎樣找客戶,得硬著頭皮去碰不知多少的門釘;都是一個人在孤軍作戰。另外,錢也賺不多,而又總有這麼多可控及不可控的因素可使你滿盤皆落索。這樣把自己人生遊戲的難度調到地獄級,有必要嗎?後來和合伙人一起,又總是有爭拗,對整體發展方向,做事方式,對有限資源投放的看法都可能有歧見,最終不歡而散。沒合伙人有沒合伙人的煩惱,有合伙人也有合伙人的麻煩。反觀現在打工,工時穩定,收入穩定,收入是創業時的 10 倍。當時為何要如此作賤自己?
