Ambition

I do not consider myself a particularly ambitious person when it comes to money.  However, when it comes to happiness or personal satisfaction I am very ambitious. To me, very few things are as important as “peace of mind”.

If I had to think of an ambition I have, there are quite a few, but one that is very strong at the moment is the idea of travelling to Japan to live and work for ideally 6 months but if I cannot make it, maybe 3. This ambition began probably after the first hour I spent in Japan in 2017. I was very fortunate. I thought “ I like it here”. Nevertheless, my disappointment with my job had a huge impact on my decision to leave for a while and start over.

 There are a number of amazing things there in terms of technology, history, architecture, food, etc. However, for me the culture and history are probably the most fascinating aspects. 
I would describe Japanese people as slightly miserable (as in depressed) in the sense that they live to work and work to live (with the exception of Osaka where they seem to live to party). At the same time they are so clean, correct and servile that I find it really interesting.  Japanese people are really proud and one negative aspect I know about them  is that it is quite a sexist country. However, I am really interested in going there with my sunshine (that is my companion) and experience the “land of the rising sun”

At the moment I am learning Japanese so I can actually get a teaching job, ideally from here, but if it is not possible, once I am there. It has turned out to be more difficult than I expected J

A Job

There are a number of things I would like to do, but one job that immediately comes to mind is that of an administrator or member of an animal rescue centre.

I would like to do this job because I feel there are too many stray dogs and cats going through a rough time that need affection and care.

I think the skills I need involve of some knowledge of vet care but mostly the psychology of animals. 

I think I am all right in that respect but I would like to take a course with César Millán or someone alike since I am not sure I can deal with really traumatized animals.  I have dealt more with cats than dogs in the past few years.

Actually, the main thing I would need is money since you need to rent or buy a place, feed the animals, give them their vaccinations, anti parasite treatment, etc. This would cost a lot. Moreover, you need to keep the place clean so you need people to work with you as well.

The satisfaction would be huge. I love animals and seeing some of them in the streets having a hard time makes me sad.

In an ideal world, I would have a second place to look after birds of prey too. I love birds in general and the way the cities are changing, is posing a real threat for them.

How about you?
