I am currently taking a good break from work, study and everything else. The irony in life is that when you are at your busiest, you crave for a break and yet when you get to take a break while everyone else is busy working,  you can’t wait to be busy again as you loathe the sense of emptiness.

What is essential in life is finding a purpose as this purpose is what keeps one going throughout his/her life. That leads me to wonder, what is everyone’s purpose in life? Of course, that purpose differs for every individual and may change with age. A typical student’s purpose in life may be satisfying his/her parents by passing the examinations with flying colours. An athlete’s purpose in life may be creating new personal best in every competition. A 9-5 white collar working adult’s purpose in life may be to stay on the job to feed his family. Perhaps, some people may not even have a purpose in life throughout their entire lifespan which could be why people dread their work.

Having said that, I too, have not found my purpose in life yet. As a fresh graduate, unlike many of my peers, I chose not to enter the  rat race, searching for any jobs as long as it is a 5 day week with rewarding remuneration.  After completing a arduous project that I am still not convinced is a job well-done, I decided to take a good long break to reflect upon my purpose in life. I do have dreams, but sometimes I wonder if my dreams are worth pursuing.

To be an entrepreneur.. do I have what it takes? Little knowledge in sales and marketing, I know nuts about finances and most importantly, I do not have a feasible business idea.Is this a dream that I really wanna fulfill or is it just a back-up plan that could make the most money in the fastest way other than following the mainstream, working my way slowly up the corporate world.

What is your purpose in life..?

Is bigger the better? or is small the new big?

I wish i have a garage. where i can be a mad inventor, taking machines apart, breaking them down to the smallest decimal, then make something totally splendid out of them.

In one corner, i will have an aerospace show where RC choppers hover and spy planes glide. In another corner, energy is generated from anything possible, be it lemons, waste oil, solid waste, solar light, wind, hamsters on running mill, whatever.

Another little area will be the territory of weird gadgets, from dust-eating robo-lizards to semi-automatic trebuchet to urban grange indoor veggie growers.

My self-driving limousine will be sitting in the center, while the ultra-portable bicycle-segway hybrid leans lightly against the wall. Everything is barely sane.

Muahaha. Welcome to my madness.
