Ever since I was in uni, I always dream of having my own startup/ company; my own team following my own vision to solve someone I found challenging and rewarding.
After 9.5 years in the industry, I finally managed to take the leap and quit my job and start pursuing the journey. Some people, including my family, would question my decision; especially it means I need to quit a job that pays me well with a lot of power and my own autonomy and growth. But luckily, more people around me congratulates me and have faith in me and what I am doing next.
Although I have not settled on one idea yet, I am still relatively confident in the decision of leaving my comfort zone and just do it. It isnt an easy decision, nor an easy thing to do but my life is full of challenge anyway and that is what makes life beautiful and remarkable.
Today is 18 January, 2026 (Saturday). It is my first day of not having a job at all after almost 10 years of non-stop working. I am a software engineer in heart (although I have been working on high level engineer team management in the last 2 years :P). I never see myself to succeed in startup in first go; I expect it would be a hard and long journey with a lot of setback and pivoting. I hope I can write down as much as I can of my feelings during this process and what I learnt and what I flopped at the end of the day as this is what makes life beautiful.
Life (or Time) is the dimension with only one direction and it is what makes everything, every moment unique and special.
