For all, doing a nine-to-five job in another city, a vacation of four days is like a blessing. Long vacations like this come only a few times in the calendar. Like now, almost everyone who's living in another city has gone to their hometown to spend the vacation. But I'm still here in Dhaka, all alone. Stayed behind against the tide because I have greater things to do, so I can enjoy this vacation in a proper way in the near future.
The question is, why?
Well, to be honest, things are going pretty rough these days. Suffering from multiple issues, one of the major ones is financial. I know things are gonna change, but it's taking time, and I gotta be patient. Here, most of us are familiar with the tech world, like how things work, how a skill set could get us on the wheel of fortune, and on. So am I, in the tech field. I know the curve is slow, but I need it to be steady. And to fast forward this, I'm here.
How so?
Look, in this fast-evolving tech world, if we stand still in a place, we're gonna get stuck forever, like no progress from here unless or until we fade away completely. Like we say, “AI” is gonna replace us, but when? Only if we stand still without levelling up ourselves with the fast-progressing AI revolution and all. Have you mastered something? Okay, it's gonna pay you well, but what about in two years? Is the same stack gonna sustain? Most probably not, we are getting new stuff constantly. Maybe we won't completely change our track, but with time, we gotta keep pushing updates to stay in the loop of not getting backdated. If not, then we're gonna be replaced very soon. That's how the tech world works, gotta stay in the loop of regular updates on what's going on out there that I should be concerned about.
So why quit vacation?
As I told ya, I'm going through some hard times, so I gotta feel the pain and go through the tough decisions to level up. I had chosen to stay here, all alone, and complete the pending stuff that was blocked due to office stress. Now I have 4 days of vacation, no hindrances, so gotta utilize this to its fullest so the difference is visible, the curve gets upside down from the steady one to a little higher. Yeah, I am in a constant mood to level up my skillsets, and have different stuff on the pipeline going on for a long time. So, now, I'm just focusing on them, going wild.
What have I traded with?
Opportunity to spend time with my family, with my friends, with my nephew, who just started walking, walking so cutely. Damn! I miss her. She is the prime cuteness, and I am so far away. Sometimes I feel ashamed and guilty of not being able to give her the love and affection that she deserves from her uncle. Things could have been different. You might say, Is my decision correct? Spending time with the family could have been more valuable. I know, but the fact is, if I don't make the sacrifices now, things are gonna get worse in the coming days with no way to fix them. So I must act now and make the necessary sacrifices to fix it.
So yeah, I am trading the decision for something very valuable and precious. I just pray and hope that the time gets utilized properly and yields better results in the coming days.
Have a great day, Keep me in your prayers.
