Being a Civil Servant
someone i know is torn between keep-on working in a government organization or working in a private company. which one u choose?which one is the best 4 u? which one will bring u welfare and comfort?
according to Robert K(oyasaki?), unless you are in "the investor" quadrant, u are not financially free (am i right? i don't have the book with me, i can't check it out, just rely on my memories). based on this criteria, none of the choice above will bring financial freedom.
however, not all people is interested in being an investor. or they're still waiting for the right time.
a few weeks ago, I read an interview with Mr. Siswono Judo Husodo in Kompas daily (sunday edition). Mr. Siswono had been assigned as minister for ten years. previously, he was recognized with his famous "Bangun Cipta" company. he said that being a minister is a good opportunity to serve the country. ministers could make good policies and had budget to spend for the sake of people's welfare. back as a civilian--he is a "farmer", now--, Mr. Siswono still have thoughts on how to improve the welfare of Indonesian farmers. as for Mr. Siswono, whether he is inside or outside the government, he has premium channel to improving people's welfare.
back to the options of being a civil servant or working in a private company, you still have the chance to help others in both conditions. but, the higher your position in the organization, the better your opportunity to influence others in achieving better condition.
i think, as long as your choice is the way to help others as well as to help yourself --in a proper manner, of course--, God will like your choice. (K(oyasaki?)san, financial freedom without the ability to help others is useless, isn't it?) ;-) --sumimasen, it's just come across my mind--.
