I never came across this term until recently, when I stopped by the Borders to browse for any good books. I came across a book that tell you about the guide in every year. Partly I was surprise with the content of the book, which I totally forgot the title nor the author.

As I read the age of 24 what they should do, the author recommending those in the age of 24 to to complete the 365 items listed in a year because that was the only time in life for them to do before venturing into working life.

Now that I am in the year of 25 going 26 this year, I happened to fall in the area of transition from Quarter Life Crisis to the working age. At the age of 26, I should be claiming more responsibilities and workload. Hence, the book recommending me to write a letter similar like below:-

I, hereby writing this letter to my current employer that I shall be committed, dedicated and selling myself, my soul and life for the next 40 years attaching to this company for the best, with minimum wages.

I will work my ass off, for every weekdays from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm. I will also work beyond the long hours after working hours, on weekend and even public holiday for the benefit of the company. I shall not complaint, shall not condemn and shall not criticize the company for she is the one giving me the bread and butter.

your slave
……….

Basically, I shall be required to write this letter to my employer at the 3rd quarter of this year. Meantime, I am living my life as going through the QLC (Quarter Life Crisis).

Some information on the wikipedia reveals that the terminology has become common nowadays. There’s also the book reviews.

The content of the book asked me to compare myself with 4 main people.

1. Bill Gates.
By the age of 25, he has founded Microsoft and making millions of dollars. Changing the world too….

2. Mozart
By the age of 25, he has performed all over Europe.

3. Alexander The Great
By the age of 25, he has conquered most part of the world.

4. Joan De Arc
By the age of 25, she has saved the France from England.

So, if you were neither there… there goes it. It is said that whoever you can be by the age of 25, you are the person throughout your life already.

How do you deal with your quarter life crisis?
