Do what you love
A Story of person i met
I met an awesome guy last night, a guy with passion on mechanic.
He was the kind of guy who do what his love.
He can work without any payment as long as it’s his hobby.
He told me that before into mechanic, he was a project manager, earning more money than now, but all he felt was empty even though he can earn 10,000$ per months and earn free vacation every years.
He didn’t appreciate those moneys he earned from being a project manager because he felt he wasn’t worthed to pay that much as his job was too easy.
He left that company, and start his own workshop, a car workshop because it was his dream when he was still a kid.
But he didn’t understood a single thing, while he was in his 30+ old.
Yet he didn’t give up, he took some mechanic class, buying some archieves and books about mechanic, and learning from day until night.
Practice makes perfect, he experiment with most of his customer vehicle, even though some didn’t work as what he plan, he took responsibility and work until it really as planned.
He can work until next morning without complaining because he was so interested on this mechanic thing that he didn’t think he was working.
And those hard works really payoff, now he mastered all of the mechanic things.
Yet he said, he got one problem on himself
He was an emotional guy even though he was in a business deal
He may angry with a person and didn’t want to take any of his money even though that guy makes him do some works.
Because of his emotional, he also often quarelling with his wife.
And now he was trying to change it, yet he said it was too hard, so from me and my friend perspective, he must change the way of his business system, if he can’t collecting the debt of those guy who let their vehicle repaired by him, he must hire some people to collect it
i also learn something from him , he provided the best services in town yet he also charged expensive, but quality is based on price.
