“A Different Road”

This post is connected to my previous post, “The Long Road”. What happen if we were following our dream road, the road we versioned in long-term. But there a limited subset of all possible career paths. You don’t know if this road is longer fit you. You are looking for a path of your own. There are many difficult come with change a path, you are putting your career and your future on new line. But you also don’t know your limit of possibilities.

“A Different Road”, when the road that you draw is leads you away from the main road. You found the new opportunity with new reward, something that you are attract to. But this mean you have to take a turn away from your craft. There is also all the worry of life responsibility, specially family. This will make our choose much more difficult. In this pattern, they suggest despite this risk, don’t be afraid to do something different with your life. I am agreed with taking change and do with what you love. But the situations are different with everyone. It is hard to tell them what to do.

We will have this situation to our life, the people to support around us also are the big factor. We surround by people with different opinions. It is important to listen to who truly support us and with different point of view. They able to help us to feel confident to take that step. The true supporter is the one who stay with you no matter what and will tell you their honest opinions. Although I always thinking about this subject. This pattern tells from another point of views, talk to people with different job. Ask them what they love about it and compare that to the things you love about software development. Go with whatever you see yourself in.
