Recently, I have interviewed several job applicants , both male and female and all of them told me that salary package is not the only thing but stability in the job and a balance life style is more important. My Japanese colleague told me that he has been interviewing so many applicants before and it is the only time that a job applicant quote his reason for turning down an assignment because he is a family man. I appreciate the guy’s frankness but I also feel strange about his reason.
Maybe, the trend is changing and people want more time for themselves or for their family in exchange for lower pay jobs. Life becomes more valuable and I heard that the youngsters nowadays want more freedom and space for creativity. Many people are dyeing their hairs and become rebellious against the Establishment.
Perhaps, it is the right thing to do. To be fair to one’s self and to live your life the way you want, this is the fundamental mission. In the theory of 90/10, there is a parallel that if a person spend 90 % of their time on their job, they remained a poor person but if they spend 90 % on their investments, they could retire before 40. This assumption is true if the same intensity is put in to the two task.
The life style is changing like the weather and evolving in circles but it is moving towards the emphasize of self importance. This maybe because the people are getting cleverer and know what they really want and start to balance what they want in their life in exchange with what they forgo for money. With the vastness and speed of information flow and exchange via Facebook, SMS MMS, skype ,etc, the basic needs of people have been awaken and people is aware of what is available.
The world is flat and information is criss crossing with rapid speed via words and pictures and people became more aware and smarter. What is waiting in the future, nobody will know. Could it lead to an extinction of Mankind ?
