One hour is approximately the amount of time needed for me to travel to work in the morning, with bad traffics and toll in between. In those precious 60 minutes, I will apply my lip balm for 13 times, listen to Justin Bieber's song back to back, play with my phone, eat my breakfast, take pictures, curse and of course, look around and think. It does not take much for you to think, as you'll look around your surroundings and there will be other drivers in the next car, yawning and eating. Probably they are late for a meeting, probably they are tired, probably they are eager to go to work, just like you! Maybe. Every reason seems valid.
But the one thing that made me ponder hard is, "What is their motivation to wake up in the morning?" and maybe, you'll ask the same question, "What is my motivation to wake up in the morning, every single day?" It seems impossible for it to be put down in words. I have no idea what is my motivation for me to be waking up in the morning, take a cold shower, put on my clothes and start the engine. For some parents, maybe the objective is clearer, where they would think about providing the best for their children, hence the solid motivation. Bills you need to pay, food to be put on the table and things your child will ask for. For some, working to support the family as they may be the sole breadwinner in the family. For some, working in order to support their dreams. Perhaps to travel the world, buy a new car, saving up for a house, and such. For the motivation to be absolute and concrete, its easier. You can say, I think about my dream house and my eyes are awake but if your motivation is more abstract, then its a whole different concept.
I wonder what is my motivation for me to even work, when most of my friends are still studying. I reckon I have that competitive side of me, where I don't want to be left out. Life would be so much easier if I can wake up at 10am, take a hot shower and get ready for class at 2pm. I should set some life goals, so that I can easily get up in the morning and go to work with a smile. Actually, now that I am going into my 7th day, it's not that bad actually. The auditing and accounting concepts are easier to grasp these days because of the experience that I have, maybe. Friends talk in a common language that everyone understands. A few good looking guys here and there. It's not that bad, I suppose. At the end of the day, work is still work, anywhere. People do not recognize me these days and I'm loving it.
One thing that I notice is, if I were to put my dreams and goals on this blog, it'll come true. Somehow, it acts like my wishlist and when I see it being put up here, I see it as a promise that I have made to myself and if I were to go against my own promise to myself, then it seems a bit odd now, isn't it? Oh suddenly the pressure is up!! So, here it goes. My first goal has to be realistic isn't it?
1. Find Ashton Kutcher. Yes, find because he will not just appear if you don't come up with a master plan on how to see him. Find him.
2. Finish your professional papers. No time limit. Just finish them. Looking at the situation now, I may take forever!
3. Get married when you reach 26 years old. Or 27 years old. Or 28 years old. Okay seriously for this one. No time limit. HAHAHAHA.
4. Move out and get a place in the middle of the city, not Shah Alam.
5. Don't quit your first job until you think your resume will be attractive enough for you to find another job.
6. Start paying for your car. I will, I will!
7. Save up for AMERICA!
8. Find Ashton Kutcher!
9. Start running, or more like, go for a jog if you get to reach home when the sun is still up.
10. Stop biting your nails, Jasmin Anis. You're turning 23 soon. (Almost there)
11. Mom said I have got to stop being picky when it comes to finding the right one. Seriously??

I'd say all of them are reasonable and achievable.
