Air traffic controller

Air traffic controller is not an easy job and sometimes I think that it have an even larger responsibilities than a pilot.

They have the task of ensuring safe operations of the commercial and private aircraft.
They are the pilot's eye to see if there is any aircraft near to them, or crossing their path.
They must coordinate the movements of thousands of aircraft, keep them at safe distances from each other, direct them take-off and landing from airports, direct them around bad weather and ensure that traffic flows smoothly with minimal delays.

They always work under high pressure and operate in a dynamic working environment.
Especially during peak hours, where aircraft lands and take off simultaneously in every 2 - 3 minutes.

One wrong move, just ONE will cause a serious disaster.

So who's up for the job?

Apathy

"Why am I doing this?"
This is a question that I find becoming more and more important to ask as we become older.
As times goes on, we naturally become more attached and committed to things around us.
More organised and more responsibilities.
It's easy to let things naturally fall out due to laziness or forgetfulness, but it's the hardest to make the conscious decision to let things go.

It is very easy to be suddenly caught up in doing things that we begin to forget why we are doing these things to start with.

Maybe we are doing these things because we love them so much?
Maybe because it would make us happier?
Maybe we are doing things out of some necessary obligation?

But more likely, maybe we are doing these things because we haven't thought about why we really are doing them. Though we may have obligations that we cannot avoid and friends that we seem to be unfortunately chained to but we are the only people who can directly alter the course of our fate and emotional stability.

It's far too easy to fall into the trap of life without stepping back to realize that maybe you are only as unhappy as you have made yourself to be. Maybe you are only unhappy because you do all these things that you hate.

In which case, Quit. Leave. Stop. Because you are only doing this in apathy and this is the only thing between you and your happiness.

Live and lets live...
