Meaning of Life (English Version 2, 2020/02/11)

"Needed a Change😉"

I had a chance to work at a Japanese company by the name of U. J. from 1996 until 2003. Not relatively a big company but for me to start it was a fairly moderate size. I hardly remember why I settled there. However, I just remember it was incredibly comfortable for me!!

As I might have mentioned earlier, one of my hobbies is going out with colleagues and suppliers. I sincerely loved that weird liquid called "alcohol"(just to clarify, but I am not an alcoholic). We pretty much went out almost every night and of course, came back home after midnight. That was kind of my routine for almost a decade.

When it came to work, I wouldn't complain but a man who is capable of using two languages, I could have asked for more higher salary.

As I look back, I have never set any goals in my life. I was just simply floating inside a gorgeous and fancy looking boat where I had never had to do anything.

One day, out of nowhere, I was asked to join from one of my friend's company. Of course, I declined in the beginning but decided to join his company (for all sorts of reasons). I probably wanted to have "change" in my life.

Wife and I, we talked about our decisions. Unfortunately, I should have listened more carefully to my wife when I decided to join the new company. Perhaps, this was the beginning of every mistake...

There are words that I remember so much right now. "Mitsu, just smile and nod. That's what guys can only do."
