I am happy with where I am. That does not equate to complacency, but as in proud of my accomplishments and the foundation I've built to continue my career path/growth forward.
It can be a dangerous game solely focusing on recognition. While recognition is important, and as humans, we appreciate getting feedback from peers and leadership, it cannot be the sole driver or motivation for the work we put forth.
How about yourself, Riyadh?

Andrew, thanks for your feedback, I am glad that you have reached certain level of satisfaction as luckily you were politically stable. on the other side I agree with you recognition is just one aspect it is not the only total measure. as far as myself not really I still feel there is more to do and in some cases the outer circumstances (Force Majeure) plays big part to divert you from your original plan. of course I am not talking here of been greedy there is certain basic level of satisfaction specially when you look at people suffering worse situations with no access to basic infra structure living then we thanks the lord for all his bounty & blessing.
Not really, but then what I want to do is not really in project management. Time will tell.

I am trying. Not there yet. The first step was actually figuring out where I wanted to be. Now that I believe I finally know that, the next step is just getting there.

Joshua, thanks to bring up this powerful point, if you know what are you heading for that's 50% of the journey the other half you will achieve it with more determination and time but surely you will reach because you have defined and set a target.

Al ChenSolutions Consultant| CodaNew York, Ny, United States
I remember Tim Rowe told a story about the people he met while he was filming "Dirty Jobs." He asked people who were building sewage solutions, cleaning up animal droppings, and battling termites: "did you always want to do XYZ job?"
The answers was typically no. The main reason these people got into these occupations was because they saw an opportunity to work in an industry that no one else wanted to pursue, and as a result were handsomely rewarded (financially speaking). The toughest part is finding the interesting parts of these "dirty" jobs and loving those parts.
I think the change needs to be internal with regards to the question. Aim to find the aspects of the job that interest you, and exploit those angles.

I'm still looking for the right opportunity, but at the same time I'm happy that I have a full time job and I can pay my bills and take care of my family which is very important. Anyway I'm sure it will happen in the near future.
