No pain no gain?
I rather not gain.
A visit to the family dentist gave two blows.
D: Are you Dr.Shu's son?
I: Yea, hi uncle, it's been some time
D: I were this (puts is hand in the air wait level to indicate my height) short the last time I saw you.
I: Haha, and back with a toothache.
D: So what are you doing now?
I: I'm studying journalism.
D: Oh, still studying?
I: Yea,... *repeats my grandfather story* ... in UTAR, Kampar.
D: So you're studying here...
I: .... hmm, yea.
2nd blow, the ache is still here, hopefully the medicine will work and the infection will go away.
Sometimes, it's not about loving money, material driven, nor not being content.
When we're living in a materialistic world, we are driven like that. We work, get money, pay off bills and save for future. This is life.
Some who lives in comfortable houses, living off a fixed prudent salary, driving a reasonably good car, tells us to be content. How convincing.
I agree, I'm not that smart, not that hardworking. Smarter people scorn me, saying that public universities are ultimately better -- undoubtedly -- and saves thousands of dollar.
Richer people, look at me and say, "Impossible you can't go abroad for studies, your dad's a doctor", and eventually graduate with an MBBS or whatever high end degree you can find on the list.
Smart people whom are rich, yes, it's a blessing, I'll STFU.
Easier said that done, to stand up, buckle up and walk away from the past.
When people ask me where I am now-- expecting a company's name -- I feel very embarrassed, ashamed for my parents.
Who wants to stay in the dark forever? But, I just can't walk away. I just can't.
5 complaints:
I understand how you feel Shu, about not being able to live up to people's expectations. It's a @#$%ing burden.
Chill bro! :)
LOL, Boy! Don't be down, Hey I thought you will actually go into this field when I first notice how much you like to take pictures.
:) It's never late to do something that you like. It's better to know what you like and love at the end than not be able to like most people.
Do you know a lot of people out there are basically robots? They are trained to be numb to their feelings. People been brain washed so many times about the important of money. Life is not about money. If the quality is not there, doesn't matter how much you make and save in the bank. It will ended up with an empty feeling inside.
I support you, remember, just be yourself and God loves you no matter if you are a lawyer or a garbageman.
Make an impact to this world, Jesus was not rich on earth to make great impact on us.
I think you are doing perfectly alrite! we don't feel embarrassed.. ah pak proudly tell us! my son.. studying in UTAR as a journalism! my daughter got a great voice publishing CD! Don't get sad! Don't get those pain from no where! Everyone been blessed with different gift!!! cheer up bro!!
