OPENING OF OUR OWN CAFÉ
It had been my long term dream to start my own café but due to different circumstances, that dream had been in the back of my mind.
I started my career as Office Secretary and after a decade of working at different organizations, I reached to a higher position in second leading ISP Company of our nation.
But I resigned from my current high salary paying nice job about a month before and started to work on my dream along with one of my friend. Finally on 14th December, 2019, Saturday, we had opening of our very own café. Yippeeeee!!!
When I first shared about my plan with some of my friends/colleagues/relatives, I got lots of negative comments: partnership is not good, there can be betrayal later on; or it’s time to get married, why to start now; or after achieving Masters Degree in Management and having successful career, why to start in completely new field from level zero? I was very reluctant to tell others that I am starting a café or I resigned my nice job.
But after lots of inner batter, I felt like it’s okay to start anew or begin a new chapter in life, it’s never too early or never too late, and we cannot please all the people. I know all of them said whatever they said because they care about me but I would like to take this risk for once. I know I would have to start from beginning and it’s not my field of mastery but I would like to do what my heart desires. My parents are supportive, they want me to live my life without any regrets.
So, finally, for the opening ceremony, I invited most of my friends, ex-colleagues, acquaintances and was bewildered by the amount of support I received. The opening was a great success, we were almost sold out, received lots of congratulations and well wishes and encouragement, my heart was doing somersault. There are still people who think that I made wrong decision at this point, maybe some say when they see my happiness they would change their mind.
Anyways, whoever made it to the end of my long word pouring, thank you! I would like to do well in the path I have chosen J
