"My favorite things in life don't cost any money. It's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time" - Steve Jobs Samir sat at his desk, headphones around his neck, staring at the two bright screens in front of him. His small laptop was full of Teams chats, while the big monitor showed a calendar packed with meetings for the week. He turned off his microphone and sighed. He was so tired that even the light headset felt heavy, like it was choking him. Frustrated, he took it off and set it down. This wasn’t the first time Samir had to spend hours working on a simple task and trying to do everything at once. His eyes landed on a sticky note on his desk: “Think about salary.” He sighed again, put the headset back on, and got back to work. After work, Samir walked home. On the way, he passed by a supermarket. Through the bright windows, he saw employees stacking shelves and helping customers, smiling as they worked. It looked calm. Simple. Samir stopped and wondered, What if I worked here instead? A few days later, Samir decided to quit his job. His company asked him to stay. “We’ll pay you more,” HR said. “We’ll make your workload easier.” But Samir said, “No, thank you. I need a change.” Two weeks later, Samir started his first day at the supermarket. He wore a blue apron and a name tag. His manager, Priya, welcomed him with a smile. “You’ll be in aisle five today,” she said. “Let me know if you need help.” Samir spent the day stocking shelves, helping customers, and tidying up. A woman asked him to get something from a high shelf. A little boy grinned when Samir found his favorite cookies. Samir felt happy. The work was simple, and he didn’t feel stressed anymore. Every evening, he went home with energy. He started reading books, cooking meals, and sleeping well. He made friends with his coworkers and enjoyed laughing with them during breaks. One evening, Priya said, “You look so much happier now.” Samir nodded. “I am. At first, I thought quitting my old job might be a mistake, but I don’t miss it at all.” Priya smiled. “Sometimes, life isn’t about money. It’s about doing what makes you happy.” Samir looked around the quiet, organized aisles of the supermarket and felt peaceful. He smiled back at Priya and said, “You’re right.” Hereby, Gowtham
