The green always seems greener on the other side

My Friend in Sydney replied this when I complained.“…with the shit way of planning in my dept..god knows..the dept is just going down the drain as days past.”

He wrote..
“ Its funny but the both of us before taking up our respectively roles were thinking about how good it will be once we get out from Big 4 that we will both be able to move into the respective sectors of interest for ourselves- banking for me and oil and gas for yourself. How funny as it seems as the reality of both moves had very little connection with what we feel now?
Gosh, I think that things are very ironic and at every juncture of our lives, we discover something new about ourselves respectively. I really appreciate the hard work that our parents put in their respective jobs because they were doing jobs that might not have interested them and yet they did that for the last 30 years or so.
Isn't that ironic? Yeah all companies in a commercial environment is shit. The worse are the IA departments because the business absolutely hate us!
There isn't much that we can do about it eventually. I think that life is strange but the most interesting thing about it is, every single move no matter bad or good adds more colour into our perspectives.
Take care and hope that the both of us will prevail!"

Really true..I guess this goes back to the case of “The green always seems greener on the other side”
