An ancient parable tells of a miner who was granted the ability to have his wishes come true. First of all, he was tired of mining, of the way he had to hammer at rocks all day and of the way he got yelled at by the boss. He therefore wished to be a king who neither has to work nor get yelled at. This worked, for a time. Soon, the miner-turned king grew tired of the good life he had, because he still had to bear the burning sun high above in the sky. He wished he were the sun, burning others without getting burned itself. Again, he got his wish and became the sun. This worked for a time, till one day he observed that the sun could be blocked by a cloud. So he became the cloud, only to find the wind had greater power because it could blow clouds away. He became the wind. Then he found that the wind were powerless in front of tall mountains.
So he became a miner again, chipping away at the mountains. He ended up where he began, this time more steadfast and less dissatisfied with his life.
For me, the moral of this story is that the greener pasture is you. The search from without is often futile because the answers lie within.
If you're qualified and competent, able and creative, you'll perhaps have found your green pastures by now. And I'm not talking about the pay check alone. Let's face it, y'all are not going to get your work's worth in pay – If you were, there'd be nothing left for the employers. If you have to look in a new direction, why not look to be an employer yourself, rather than to be another employee – to toil and get yelled at in another place?
