Moving on in life from being a student to an employee. One encounters lots of change. Change that affects almost all spheres of your life. There is a change in your surroundings, in your dialect, in your dressing and in your personality. There are new friends, new ways of having fun, new work hours and a new source of money. The last part is responsible for almost every other change happening around us.
Once you start earning money, even if you want to be the same man, you can't. There are expectations. Expections that people have from you and also those that you have from yourself. Then there are dreams and goals and possesiveness associated with that money. You suddenly realise the independence you have but also the responsibility that comes along with it.
If we retrace to how the change really began. We'll realise that it all began only because we came out of our shells seeking money. It was the thirst of earning and the social norm that pushed us out of our dens. Every decision from here on would now be based on that one single parameter......money.
What technology shall I work on?
What location?
What company?
How long?
Learning is not for learning's sake but for money. My problem is not with that. It's with how everyone and everything around you changes after that. There are no more true friends, just a few familiar names. So many people start judging you on how many gifts you bring for them or how you spend more on some people than others. People are ready to find flaws even when you try to be your best. Your mistakes are no more benine but regarded as serious errors.
You undergo a growth of many a years in the span of months. All this because you are suddenly shunned from all the support and expected to fly independently in the unknown world. Whether you realise the root of all this change or you don't . You still continue on that path of being a seeker.
“They say money changes you. It isn't true. It changes everybody around you.”
