How to work because I like to, not because I have to by Estelline

"It was great. I never felt so alive and happy doing something that was considered 'work'. "

How I did it: Got my ass fired. Then persued something that I never thought in a million years I would be able to do. Ambition, interest, and lots of water to keep my from throwing up because I was so scared.

Lessons & tips: Just be true to your heart. Whether it's broken, in half, whole, or trying to stop it's own fuckign beat becuase it just cannot stand to look at those cubicle walls AGAIN!

Estelline I can't form a single lucid thought.

I’m interning at a biology labratory. I love microbiology but I never believed I was smart enough or good enough to really persue it. When I was accepted by the labratory, I was so happy I couldn’t believe it.

reach_raech is loving this site!

Wow

I’m also planning to do the same thing…
I do feel like throwing up out of fear!

But I know I will be pursuing my passion.
And it’s something I can commit my life to.

Cheers to your achievement!
You’re an inspiration!

I_am_X Nothing to fear, other than fear itself.

Excellent, thanks for the inspiration! My only problem is “knowing” what my passion is for sure. :P

That's fantastic!

I recently quit a job to pursue my dream of owning/running my own business. More people should work because they like to, not because they have to – unfortunately, not everyone have the freedom to so. Technically they do, but many can’t without sacrificing (e.g. because they have kids, are in debt, high standard of living etc)
