We usually talk about planning , effort , hardwork and actual people being involved in our life to reach our career goals but the only thing we almost always leave out ( or at least i used to leave out) is TIME!
Time is the dimension which is simulatenously moves with us and almost is like a second self for every person.
I started understanding time when i first started reading the comicbooks of ” The Flash” .. yes.. i know that is one hell of a weird way to learn about it but it was the nearest source of FUN science for me learning how barry allen would always challenge himself to get faster .
I think i am a lot like barry when it comesto my career and work.. i am always runing between tasks and people, trying to proove something is correct or someone is wrong.. and eventually i would find myself in one of these 3 situations when i ignore the TIME Factor:
1- Breaking the time barrier
So basically just like barry here, i start seeing things for what they really are at the office and the fact that i have to run ( people, tasks, events and myself) very fast in order to stop this tsunami from hitting me and all of those who i care about at work and in the midest of my unearthly run (Back and Forth)i end up in a whole new place with no actual idea of where i am going, what i am doing, and wether i achieved my initial goal or intent!
2- Trying to stop the invetable
Whenever a fast pace portion of tasks takes place a task or two might slip here or there and its only luck and good fortune that would guard me during such times, and most of the times and if only my luck was over on that speceific day the SINGULARITY hits and i am faced with a Semi- Apopcolpse and i try to stop it .. which basically not humanly possible.. so .. yes i end up by me hurting.. or hurting someone else .. or better off.. me gettgin into a new season !! ( i.e: getting a new job!)
3-Super Sonic career path:
At some point of my life i reached that path where my career was going so fast , intense and focused that i almost could not hear any one around me.. rarely saw friends and family, slept only for the sake of sanity at work andi ended up acheiving my goal.. but few days after acheiving my goal i was as exhauseted as barry on this scene.. i forgot that the hardest part is not reaching the top but actually staying there… which at that point i was to tired to maintian.. you know the rest.. now!
and as barry .. i am still learning about TIME as a concept and as another self and shadow .. one can never master TIME nor manage it.. but maybe manage myself enough to be able to decide when to go full gear and power and when to slow down and see…
