When You Start to Pursue Your Dreams
追逐夢想
You'll be tempted to bail out for something more secure. And you'll get over it.

Job security is a myth.
工作是否穩定實際上就是個謎。
Regardless of pension promises or signed contracts, the real fact of the matter is there is no ‘job security’ in working for someone else.
“不管是否許諾了解決養老問題,或者是否簽訂了工作合同,這個真實情況就是:為別人打工就沒有‘鐵飯碗’。
If at any time for any reason the boss has a problem with you, the market goes south, your contract's over, the clientele fades, the account goes red, or the business goes belly-up, you are becoming an unemployment statistic. ~ Eric Dubay
在任何時候、任何地點,要是這個老板想找你麻煩,哪怕是市場不景氣引起的,你也可能會丟掉工作。客源的流失、財政的赤字、經濟陷入死角,你的名字都有可能出現在失業統計的數據中。”爾克杜拜說道。
