One of the popular words for programmer is “I am a programmer, and I have NO life”. Many programmers agree with this words.

Just one question. WHY?

IT jobs will never end until …… I don’t know. And surprisingly, salary for programmer is high. That’s why people that have project in IT, will spend most of their time in their project (because they are promised to get a large number of money). People think that they will get more life when they have more money. Hmmmm… I think so. You can buy anything, go to anywhere if you have money. But, wait. Something is missing.

You can buy anything with money, so you spend your time for money.
You can go to anywhere with money, so you spend your time for money.
You can “buy” marriage with money, so you spend your time for money.
You can “buy” education for children with money, so you spend your time for money.

But…
when will you spend your money to buy something if you have no time for shopping?
when will you spend your money to go somewhere if you have no time for adventuring?
when will you spend your money to marry a girl or boy if you have no time for preparing your marriage, and of course, seek for a girlfriend or boyfriend?
when will you give the best education for your children if you have no time for teaching them?

I want to tell you something. The world will not messy when you spend your time for other things instead doing “coding”. You are not the only programmer in this world. The fact is you are a human that have a life. You have your own life. We indeed have to responsible for our job. But responsible doesn’t mean we have to work 24 hours, or even more. You just need to ensure that what you do in your work is the best you can give and doesn’t make any trouble as much as possible.

So, now it’s your time to spend your money and say, “I am a programmer, and I have a life” :).
