Then, I recalled a story my grandmother used to tell me.

One day, a mouse found a big wooden container full with rice.

Joyfully, it jumps in, starts to eat and eat and eat, without worrying tomorrow, it assums everyday will be a good day, there is always rice waiting for him....

Sometime, the thought of going out and to see the world, finding a new rice container do come across its mind, but.... the current situation is so comfortable. Why bother to leave and go out to suffer.... so it continues to enjoy the life and eat....

One day, it reaches the bottom of the rice container.

Only then it realizes "I am stuck! I can't get out!"

I looked around myself and yes, I am in the same situation right now.

My corporate job has made me so comfortable and I am stop challenging myself to leave this comfort zone for the past 15 years.

Now, here is how I am going to challenge myself.

Here is my Plan B.
