Original:

One years ago I quit my job, because the job it’s too busy for me and it’s boring. I never regret to quit the job, it’s so great, so if you want to quit your job, it’s a good choice. After I quit my job I think I need time to think which direction I want to go, because I think jobs occupy a lot of time in my life. Time is so important for everyone. I think I use my time better than before, because I practice everyday, sleep enough, and I have time to stay with my family and friend. The life is simple, even though I can’t go a lot of places, but it’s rich enough for me. And now I have a chance to continue doing the things what I love. I think it’s so lucky because I met a lot of friends, they all have high energy, no complaining, no compete. When I last job, my colleagues always have competitive mind and do tricks for me. I don’t want to do much more plans for my life, just follow the lines, because changes are faster than plans, but I have an idea, because if I’m doing something a lot, maybe I want to try something new, so after I’m familiar my new job, I want to do something that can make money to afford my interest and my daughter.

One year ago I quit my job, because it was boring and I was too busy and I don’t regret doing that. It feels great, so if you don’t like your job and have the opportunity to change that, you should do it. After I quit my job I needed some time to think about which direction I wanted to go, because work occupies a lot of time in my life, and time is very important. I think I use my time better now, because I practice yoga  everyday, sleep enough, and I have time to stay with my family and friends. Life is simple and, even though I can’t go to a lot of places, it is fulfilling enough for me. Now I have been offered a chance to teach yoga and continue doing the things I love. I think I’m very lucky because through yoga I met a lot of friends, who have high energy, and do not complain and compete. In my previous job, my colleagues were always very competitive and tried to trick me. I don’t want to make a lot of plans for my life,  because changes happen really fast and plans can’t keep up. Also, if I do something for too long, I always get bored and want to try something new, so after I become more familiar with my new job, I want to do something  else, where I can make money to afford my lifestyle and interests, and to provide for my daughter.
