Have you ever fallen for a musician and then suddenly, on the following days, it was like every radio came across and played his song just every, single day. Or, without warning, it was like all TV stations showed your fave musician’s face every time, and the internet kept updating the latest news on him? Do you think all of those things are some kind of messages for you? Or, oh, I don’t know, that it’s a confirmation that he is a good musician?

Ever since I had the idea to desert my prior job (and that idea, by the way, were present from the very first time I started working), whether it was just my feeling or it was really a sign or something, I began to hear few stories about people who walked out of their big-time jobs ‘only’ to pursue their passion and idealism.

And just right after I quit, more stories seemed coming more.

For instance, I remember a story about a woman banker who quit her job to become a trapeze athlete. This one happened in the US.

Some other examples took place in my country, Indonesia:

Three young women left a great IT company to run their own online bookstore http://www.kutukutubuku.com.

A man who also had a great position in an IT company decided to give up his job so that he can take care of his cats at home. Now he runs a cat business (I mean, he makes cat houses to be sold).

A hotel manager chose leave his hotel to involve more in his community to help poor people (and he doesn’t get any payment whatsoever).

A man, in the state of needing so much money to continue his life, rejected many ‘office works’ to build his dream; a tourism portal http://www.yogyes.com.

Or this one (a new Sunsilk ad on TV): a woman leaves her office work to reach her dream to go to Venice, Italy.

All to name a few.
