25. The initial time just after your first job

Independence is the primary goal of everyone to achieve in life. Standing on your own feet without any support for the first time in your life was the first independence of your life. Now, standing on your own feet without any financial support is the biggest challenge that you achieve in your life. Getting our first job and spending one month in it is not enough. The amount of salary which we get after investing our one month in a job, gives us unmatched happiness and pride. It is the moment where we start adding more dreams to the already existing dreams.

We want to share our happiness with our family and other close people. But here, we always make one mistake. Spending the whole salary into gifting to our close people and at the end of the month left with zero balance is what we all suffers from. No matter how much responsibilities you have, you should always save some money from your salary. This saving will help you to deal with difficult days because sometimes our brain stops working if we are empty pocket.

When we enter into a new job, we enter with lots of expectations that soon breaks. We get disappointed with our own self. In this moment we need to keep some patience and should have faith. Just need to go with the flow. But the most important thing is don’t forget to love what you do. Don’t lose that love for your work. At the end of the day, that love for your work is the only thing that is going to keep you motivated. Most of the time, we start taking our work too seriously that we start pleasing everyone. Remember one thing that you cannot make everyone happy. Don’t lose yourself for the sake of pleasing others.
