I recently have been thinking about my vocation or mission.

The difinition of "vocation" is below.

[vocation]- the feeling that the purpose of your life is to do a particular type of work, especially because it allows you to help other people (Longman)

I worked for a bank seven years, but it was not my vocation.

It was worth doing. There are customers who were pleased for my visiting.

On the other hand, a bank has a destiny that we have to collect finance if the comnpany can't pay the bill by the due date. If financial condition get worse, loan interest rate tends to rise. We have to tighten the company's neck.

Fortunately, I was not given work like that. So I saw few case that feels really horrible. Even if I didn't deal, it is necessary for the bank as a whole. I can't feel proud of my work. There are people who don't like a bank and financial institution.

Probably it is not my vocation.

The turning point is 2002. Next year I started my own business. 6 years has passed from independence.

My work now is business consulting, gyosei-shoshi, seminor etc. From 2008, "supporting business startups" has come to my main business. It is scheduled 3 times a week till March 2009. Add to this, a lot of short term seminor will be held.

I feel one thing about this work.

I have never think "I am unpleasant." or "It is troublesome." when I have been going my office. It is great! When in bank, I feel unpleasant when I stood at the station in the morning.

There is little burden and pain when I engage in this work.

I realize "This is my VOCATION!"

I have finally found my vocation since my thirtieth.

Today is a duty day of Sogyo Plaza (Aichi). I had been continuously asked by 10 people who want to start new business from 13:15 to 20:00.

Some client tell his/her hot business philosophy from all power, so I also talk and answer all my energy. And then after the end, I completely got exhosted.

However, on Friday, I will be pleasant on my way to office, and enjoy working. Then after 21:00, exhosting..

I feel honored that there are many people who are wainting for me.

And "THANKSs" after consultation are good nourishment for my heart and my health.

People got results after consultation and come and talk to me "I did it!"

It is far more pleasant!

Startup support business is my favorite work. As if I find my place in society.
