Turtle

"Imagine that the whole earth was covered with water, and a man was to throw a yoke with a hole in it into the water. Blown by the wind, that yoke would drift north, south, east and west. Now, suppose that once in hundred years a blind turtle would rise to the surface. What do you think? Would that turtle put his head through the hole in the yoke as he rose to the surface once in a hundred years?"

"It is unlikely Lord."

"Well, it is just as unlikely that one will be born as a human being; it is just unlikely that a Tathagata, a Noble One, a fully enlightened Buddha should arise in the world; and it is just as unlikely that the Dhamma and discipline of the Tathagata should be taught. But now you have been born as a human being, a Tathagata has arisen and the Dhamma has been taught. Therefore, strive to realize the Four Noble Truths."

2 Months into New Job

Glad to say that I'm happy with the decision I made 3 months ago. It's an opportunity I doubt I'll come across again, and to think I nearly let it slipped off just like that.

It requires some sacrifice especially in terms of time, but it's paying off. I'm getting what I want from this job and it does give me a greater sense of job satisfaction compared to my last job.

Still a long long way to go... It's just the beginning of another chapter in my life...
