“The world doesn’t want puppets who chase after targets,
the world wants personal heroes who chase after their dreams”.
I came across this quote on the web.
It kind of, pierced through my heart. For now, I'll never be one who chased after her dreams. To be honest, I really appreciate the kind of lessons my friends have been attending in the US colleges. It seems to teach one more about the world, simply the world at large, than mundane (stupid) business modules does. What good do I have learning about Investment Banking, per say, where I wouldn't even fight to be an investment banker even if it means good money and even if I have the capabilities to fight for it? NOTHING. I'd rather be sitting in a class about International Relations or the Republican System i.e. i.e.
I could have pursued the artsy kinda interest, in USP. But I gave it up for practicality in exchange for half a year's experience in Beijing.
Today I was reminded that I want to be successful in my own right. What I failed to achieve for myself in the first one quarter of my life, I want my children (if I ever have them) to do what they want. Singapore is too small a place for great learning to take place. Our system is just, not suitable for people like me. I want to be able to pay this regret forward.
Today, I remind myself that nothing is stopping me from learning more, from venturing further. Those that are not taught can be learnt. I need to do something about my laziness.
