Opportunities I Missed

Past 3 months were probably peak of  opportunities knocking my door and I kept on passing them just to stick to "the thing" which I loved the most.

  1. It all began with "another NGO`s" project when I started providing them multi-site single click Drupal hosting that enabled them to start another Drupal website with in 5 min whenever they wished to and seeing this the guy over there offered me to work with him full time which I denied.(Reasons Later)
  2. A start up in CBS brought  me in contact with a consultancy firm for which I developed website and did online publicity/marketing to put them on top of all search engines,impressed with my work they offered me part-time job opportunity which could have been my major break through as my first stint with corporate world but I passed it.
  3. "An internship providing website" had an opening for which I got a call and I could have done that work sitting at home itself and learnt all together a new platform/terminology of work but I passed that too.
  4. In school I had another senior friend he e-mailed me from Georgia where he was pursuing engineering ,to meet his father who needed some help,his father runs a software company,I met uncle he wanted me to join in the team of "SERVER DEVELOPER" just because my friend and he has seen my front-end work and they could make out how handy I can be in setting up server,but I passed it again.
Now after reading all this you would think what on Earth made me pass all these things for ?
The reasons were
  1. I wanted to dedicate all my online time to "the thing"
  2. I cant definitely go in for full time work ,I was still studying
  3. My heart didn`t allow me to move on to something just for money.

I wont name "the thing",coz its still my passion and my first large scale opportunity with which I was from quite a descent time.It`s not that it marooned me but I think I deserved more then what I got!!

I have seen people quickly moving onto other bigger opportunities,grasping onto other things quickly and I felt they dont have a character to stick to a thing and make it big but .............................
I dont know why am I writing all this,its mere a small thing in compared to many other big wrong things but I cant understand why with "this thing"
