Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast. It is not proud, it is not rude. It is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered. It keep no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.

So here I am. Two days ago was officially my 1 month anniversary of starting my new job. Honestly, I love it here. The people are amazing, the work is challenging and meaningful and I can imagine few better places to grow. My current case team is a small, tightly knit group and I really enjoy spending time on the case with them. Whether it is debating an issue over CTM, or casually chatting at team lunch/dinner or even doing dance practice for our office retreat, it's always a great deal of fun. Sure, the hours are not exactly 9-5, but if you love your job, then work-life balance isn't really an issue right? Best of all, at least with my current case, I really think that the world will be a better place if we do our jobs right, which is a rather humbling conclusion to arrive at.
That said, I can't help but realize what a different world I've stepped into. This is the world of fine dining and posh hotels. Of plane trips and cab rides. Of racking up frequent flyer miles and starwood points. It's such a different world from the one that I've been used to growing up. It's also scary how fast I've adapted to this lifestyle. In all honesty, my meals alone each month could very well be one man's monthly salary. I see now how easy it is to lose oneself and one's ideals in this opulence. To forget the disabled beggar on the street who begs to pay for a bedridden mother. Or the family of four where the mom has hypertension, the eldest kid is Deaf and the father works two jobs to make ends meet. Or the teacher who works tirelessly in rural Thailand for less than $3 a day.
While I hope that I may continue to excel in what I do and be the best that I can possibly be, I hope equally that I will continue to be true to my ideals and not lose myself in the process
