Random Thought- Where Would I Be?

I almost forgot that I own a blog. It has been months I didn't give any attention on it. So, how should I resume? So much things happened whether planned or not. Mostly, unexpected. What I have now is beyond my original plan. One of them is, my profession.

I never thought to be an engineer. Especially after I went through a priceless experience as a 'sales person' in a private company. Implementation of unhealthy practices such bullies, ragging, backstabbing, bad-mouthing, and selfish really helped me to build a brick blocks to retry being an employee.

I can't stand such working atmosphere which somehow will influence my characters and my thinking. I was about to be a father and surely, I need a good motivational working environment. Thus, I decided to resign (without any plans). Some friends were too frank and told me that I am crazy.

"You just married and about to have a kid. You need reasons to have job, not to lose job!".

It sounds make sense.. Oh.. My life after marriage was not as what I thought. I do multiple jobs. Here and there, regardless time. Tuition, drawing, facilitator, emcee, trainer, etc...

I started to have financial problem. I believe this problem will create another problem. And then, another problem. Finally, a series of problem. Finance is a crucial issue. I keep convincing my wife that our future would be better. Within a year, I hardly go to shopping malls, or buy any new cloths. By the way, many thanks I dedicate to a friend who helped me by offering a job at his printing shop. It was a good, nice, and valuable experience. Day by day, I survived with ~1k monthly income. It seems I was an employee? Arhh.. I don't want to think about it as I enjoyed serving for the shop.

I continued to be an ordinary worker. Month after month, what I feel deep down inside, something is just not right. So sudden, a friend told me that the company he is serving need more engineer. Another big decision. Should I try or leave it? Istikharah--> Give a try--> 1st interview by HOD (passed)--> Subjective test (passed and shortlisted)--> 2nd interview by bosses (passed)--> I am employed as an engineer.

Engineers of AEM. Thanks to all generous seniors.

It was unexpected. I only depended on my educational background and competed with experienced rivals. Thinking of the hardship I faced, it persist my favorite movie, 'Pursuit of Happyness'. What has happened, I take it as a gift from Allah. He grant my duaa in His own way. Why? because Alhamdulillah, my current profession is the profession that I tried to avoid the most. I am a happy engineer.

What I am today is not what I thought last 2 years. What and where would I be in 2 years ahead?
