Pivotal point
I am currently presented with two opportunities that I am having tremondous difficulties making decisions. More than once, I've heard people in my life remark that I help make decisions for multi-million dollar companies and I have a lot of difficulties making simple decisions in my own person life.
The KL office wants me for 1 full-year for their biggest petroleum and energy client in South East asia. 1-yr in my firm's timeline is about 1/2 the tenure of average people come and leave. This will be an amazing opportunity to be back home still under the u.s. office and will make me a firm expert in petroleum but I am not sure if I want that label. Especially when I am trying to associate myself more towards venture capitalism, private equity, etc.
The other option for me is do a private equity rotation program for 6 month. It will definitely kick the heck out of me as I was warned about how intensive it can be but I have to bite the bullet and learn as much as possible in that 6 months.
In either case, I need to be making some quick decisions. I know this is one of those red vs. blue pill moment that could change my life forever. There were a few of these before in my life. Of cos, the biggest so far has been the day I decided to go to the U.S. for college. Let's hope I choose the right pill. Please keep your fingers crossed for me.

dude, you'll do just fine either way, as long as you are happy doing what you like :-) i'll keep my fingers crossed for you - good luck!
Dude,
Where in the world are you? Its funny you mentioned that. I used to believe with a strong conviction that you can do really well in whatever you do as long as you like it and have true passion in it. I should really be an engineer if I want to do what I really really like.

well, i think that beyond doing what you like to do, you need to have a purpose. If the purpose is good, you can tak all the b.s. that sometimes makes life miserable.
An example is, if you love your grandmother and she is sick you will feel very gratified to take care of her. however, there are still parts such as helping her clean after herself that you are less than thrilled about. However, since you have a purpose, taking care of someone you love, then the daily annoyances and irritations become bearable.
Joule,
So what you are saying link my career to a purpose like having someone in my life who will spend all the money so I feel encouraged to earn more. :)
Seriously, I agree with what you are saying though having a purposeful life is something many struggle with.
Getting Goose Bump... wow.. thoughtful ideas from Mamba...
