My definition of success is having the ability to choose. The most important of human living rights is that we can make choices. I choose to work today, I choose to go on holiday, I choose to spend time with myself, I choose…
However, not many of us have the ability to choose. Some do not have a choice. How many times you have heard someone else saying, “no choice.”
Recently, with a series of incidents, I felt my freedom was locked up. I discovered that I don’t feel good with the “no choice” thing. I desire lots of freedom, I love to have choices to choose from. I guess that is why I choose to be an entrepreneur. Being an entrepreneur, I can have the freedom and manage my own time.
On the contrary in being an employee, someone else will manage my time. I discovered it once again from the recent incidents that I don’t like others to manage my time.
With the number of employees in the world, and the number of “no choice” I heard, I concluded that there are many people in the world who don’t have the freedom. Everyday, they have no choice but to wake up in the morning and pass through the heavy traffic because someone else manages their time.
For me, I wouldn’t want to be caught with no choice again. My time is precious to me, since it is precious, I decide those who want my time shall pay a high price.
That is where success comes. To me, success is having the ability to choose.
