Paradigm shift

Its been quite a some time I started scraping my thoughts, now few thoughts started bothering me I wanted to post as a process to improve my writing skill and to share my thought process. Last saturday, I was out to meet my good old college seniors who has been my mentor and gave inputs to improve me Mr.Bals and few others. We planned to have dinner at some good restuarnt in cmh road, which is famous for something else than food. We met few other seniors also.

Its about six people finally started asking about their travel, marriage plans and I was watched around, because what they spoke doesnt interest me than what I was watching. Soon after some time, I gave attension when they attered the word "work". I know, people all are in Tech lead, partly manager, Research Engineer, senior analyst., but a few only liked what they where doing. But rest cant move out of this job.

They had many reasons to say that, "They cant move out". They said family, work, status, money, travel what not. Its boils down to final word the paper called 'money'. I just questioned them just proceed what you want to do, after some time, money will flow into your pocket, why your thinking that you cant do what you wanted to do.They said a lot.,[I understand one more thing, We speak a lot and we mean (really mean) only about 20~30 %, rest all we are speaking to the enviroment or the situation and for some body.]

Think of a "Paradigm shift"., where you can do what you wanted to do, you might like to do Painting, violinist, teach maths for school kids, gardening, cooking, surgeon, anything that you wanted to do or feel like doing, but for all work we all will be paid the same. But dont put lot of logic into this thought and ask what will business people do or its impossible. Just imagine a world where you will do what you want to do really, you will also have money to live. Is that a Paradigm shift ?. I dream about this place daily and always want to make my current place look like that.

I read in some book, I guess its from Fountain Head, "Your gonna work for 40 years from now, Do what you like to do, Else ur gonna waste your time and you regret at the end. U cant even change that."

Just do what you wanted to do, Then its no work, only play :-)..

What you said is correct buddy, nobody wants to leave their job though the hate it, just because of money. The problem with us is once we start leading a cosy life, nobody wants to part it for a normal life. Everybody fails to see the connection that doing a job which you love will make you one of the happiest person on earth.

I also have dreamed many days for an utopian world you have mentioned. Lets hope that it will be established at some point in future.

And those words were from Fountainhead, the only part of the book which is good is that conversation
