Hi from Indonesia, a n00b in this group.

[Han1977]

Hi, I'm a n00b in this group, because I reach 40 last year. From 6 to 20 something, I know what I had to do for sure, which is study to get a good grade, go to good university, get your degree and got a job. I came from a poor family, so I don't want to mess up my parent's effort to provide good formal education for me.

From 20-30, well actually until the last few years, I'm busy with getting a job, working, get it done, saving, take a loan to buy a house, get your kids to good school, etc.

Now at 40, things already work just fine. I just have to keep my job and makes me have more time to ponder. What should I do now? Is there something more to life than just surviving?

Of course you're right, I'm still searching new hobbies that could spark my interest. Do a bit gardening, do a bit woodworking, etc.

What's wrong with bike racing? Not that I'm interested in it.

[sirb]

Gardening and woodworking are very constructive unlike bike racing which can be very destructive

I see your an Electrical Engineer, why not use your knowledge to make some innovative garden decorations ... wind powered things or a water extraction from air machine ( I read about this somewhere on the net).... etc.

Haha, well, I kind of fed up with electronic device.

Also I don't have much interest in electrical engineering in the first place, I choose to study it with getting a job in mind. I began to realize that it's might be a bad decision in the third semester, but it would be a waste of money to change it. Like I said before, my main concern at that time, was getting a good job, that's all, and through luck that's what I got.

Remember Grandma Moses started painting seriouslt when she was 78. You're never too old to find a new passion in life, even bike racing.

No no, not bike racing ... a member here who we shan't name keeps falling off and ends up in hospital chatting up the nurses.

Your just making excuses, bite the bullet and get creative with your knowledge, that's how you stimulate your brain ..... another suggestion, learn a musical instrument.

And maybe the nurses can practice their catheter tube insertion technique if that unnamed stuntman prattles on too much. See, a win-win situation!

Maybe I should try bike racing...

I'm sure there are less painful ways of chatting to nurses.
