TGIF! Its the weekend!
Wow, this week had really passed fast for me, but I get the feeling that since my MBA began, life has been reduced to a cycle of eat, sleep, work & assignments with time and dates holding no special meaning for me. This really isnt how I want to spend my life, and I still have to maintain this frenzied life style for another year and a half! *Sigh*
Everytime my boss assigns a complex task to me with a looming deadline, everytime my MBA lecturer drones on about a subject so abstract that I have no comprehension whatsoever, everytime I have to refuse an invitation to go for a weekend trip, I feel like throwing in the towel! I just want to quit my job or my MBA...haha...I'll never quit eating and sleeping. :)
But obviously I wont, besides the financial reasons, I have to prove something to myself. I have to constantly keep challenging myself for I have a fear of becoming complacent. There was a time in my life where I did feel myself slowing down and resting on my laurels and I'm only 25 for crying out loud! I should be out there working like crazy, accomplishing great things and setting higher and higher targets for myself.
I believe in balance as well so that I dont burn out and have premature mid-life crisis :P But I'll depend on my family and friends to intervene when necessary, as it is they are telling me to get of my lazy butt and do something with my life. I really want to leave my mark on society, something that will enable my memory to live on forever long after I have passed on. Sounds like "illusions of grandeur" at the moment, but someone was once told me, if you never have dreams, you will never know what you are capable of, and I totally agree!
Ok, will stop rambling here... :D

Don't set targets that you will under accomplish.. set targets that you will over accomplish.
Don't push yourself to heights so great, you will fall down. Push yourself forwards, where you can keep going at a steady pace.
Don't worry about leaving your mark in society, where people would probably not even bother. Leave your mark in the hearts and minds of your loved ones, for they will bring that to their deathbed and beyond.
Dream, for dreams do come true. But don't dream of impossibilities because then they will only turn into nightmares.
Take time off to live life la, dodo =)
Wow..so profound... :)
Anyway, thanks for sharing. I really appreciate it and will take your words to heart.
