Survival of the fittest
Sunday, March 11, 2007
I've been thinking a lot of changing my working environment. Many years in the same place - in fact, in the same dept - can seriously dull even the brightest mind around. Luckily for me, at least i've been doing some variety in the work - that'll probably help me look for something else outside of my current field.
But what about those people who specialises in one field, and have been dedicating themselves into that work for many years? If suddenly one day, the field that they have been working on is obsolete, no longer needed and out of job, what would those people do for a living next?
For those not-so-tough ones, probably they'll end up either in the sea, or in front of a building, dead. Yes, being out of job and no money, suicide seems the only way out for those people. Only the tough ones will survive, eventhough the example may mean that some General Managers out selling ice-cream on a motorbike to make ends meet.
Life's always been like that - cruel, cold reality can really hurt you. But if you are tough enough, i guessed it's the end for most of us.
