How Dublin Tech Summit Changed My Life
Looking around the arena sitting and gazing at all these people talk about their successful million dollar companies makes you stop to think will that someday be me. It’s hard to process the thoughts of being in a position like that and it’s scary to think that what if I do something similar and I’m not happy. Would I look back thinking have I just wasted my whole life pursuing something just to be successful.
Sitting here in the Prism Centre stage I’m wondering what now, what next and when will something big change my life and what can I do in the meantime. But the realisation of my time here is that I haven’t found my niche yet. I haven’t found something I have a passion for. Does that mean I am in the wrong space, that maybe I won’t be an entrepreneur, or just the fact that I need to go out and see the real world, gain independence and develop myself.
Self awareness is something Gary has talked about and perhaps it is something I should pursue rather than trying to run events and attend meetings that sometimes I have no interest in. You might think “why the hell is this guy doing any of this if he doesen’t enjoy it” but it’s due to the fact that there is so much pressure to have something to your name when your attending events as big as Dublin Tech Summit.
I’ve only realised now that why waste your time doing something if you don’t love doing it. It’s a competition, you have to advertise yourself, to get employed you have to have a great C.V and Linkedin. But how can you have it so good if you have nothing to your name, we are a society where people are doing things not for the passion of what it is but for the personal gains to try and show how great they are.
