Its all a rat race

Are you happy doing what you are doing ?
How many times when you go to sleep you think about the next day's work ? How many times when you put an alarm, you wake up before that, shut that alarm off and are set to go to work ?
* Not to sound like another of those zillion google sent ads. *
Are their dream jobs ? What ?? Wait a second ! Do you "dream a job" ? Think again !! Its a term coined by someone smarter than you are, because he is definitely not reading this whereas you are !! Keep reading, the point will come in a while.

But still, you need to think ! and what am I saying !! I wrote all this, proofread and then posted it ! may be because I realized something :) I recall the incident the marathon instructor told me - Once when he was running, there was a guy standing at the 23 mile mark with a sign board which read - "What was I thinking ?". You have made your life a marathon and at the end of the day you will ask the same question to yourself !

Talking of life ?? Its nothing more than this --

You come out of one door, you enter another, then you walk in the lobbly, then you fool around, sit on a computer all the time and do meaningless things, you set deadlines for yourselves, or sometimes your bosses do!
You think and tell yourself, may be this is what I should be doing !! Sometimes you get some cool things, sometimes you meet some cool people, sometimes cool things happen to you, but at the end of the day, its all a rat race.

Point ? Who is following his dreams ? Are you ? May be if you are - call it "dream work" rather than "dream job". And I know you don't have to use an alarm. You can work sleeplessly :) You will coin the term like dream-job for others to work for you too or may be not !
