Talk Is Cheap

I just had a small talk over tea and cheesecake with my friends (and sister). So I have this friend of whom I considered very lucky. She's only two years older than me and yet she already has a secure job, a place to live, and graduated from university. For all I know, she's survived the life in Sydney - of which I cannot say is easy!

But see, she also has problems: her boss is a total freak and bitch - yes, even comparing to my former employer! Her boss harassed her mentally that she became so afraid of her (the boss) and she was forced to work EVERYDAY until very very late midnight. So my sister, a friend, and I were convincing her to quit the job, since it doesn't really give her much benefit. The thing is, she can't face her boss and even though we'd been giving variety of solutions, she didn't convinced.

And if I think about it, talking is surely VERY easy. I mean, I myself was left cold alone in an unemployment state, where no one can help me but myself. I think I'm quiet good at talking - it's one of my significant talent, possibly - and I love writing but it still doesn't guarantee that I would get a job any time soon. Sure I can be a writer but I don't think I'll gain money from this blog: it's not even a commercial blog. And though I'm very much interested in writing a novel, I haven't had much inspirations and ideas - also lack of concentration and experiences - though I'm working on it.

As a matter of fact, talking is so much easier than doing. I told my friend that she should get out of her comfort zone by quitting the job. But I'm not sure if I myself have gotten out of my own comfort zone.

PS. A Tsunami warning announced yesterday. Thank God it didn't happen. But all my prayers go to people in Chile, Hawaii, Russia, Japan and Indonesia. God bless us all!
