Huge disappointment and backing off

August 9th, 2008 at 4:11 · Filed Under Blogging, Days in My Life, Education, Family 

I used to be firm with my principles in most things but there’s a huge disappointment after all I have done. It makes me realize at some point, I will have to back off and start thinking about my own ambition. In the past 5 years of experience working with university students, I learned a lot from them in the way of handling disappointment and also enjoying the fruits. One of the project I will never forget is the 2006 FYP at UTAR. My team won a trophy, a consolation trophy to be precise, but the students decided to present it to me for memory. I have seen most of my teams to pull through their projects and graduated. Some are continuing their graduate study which I am somehow proud of their achievement.

I have not revealed my feeling towards them so far. But somehow this comes to me suddenly and I realize it is time for me to move on and leave behind my principles and pride for the betterment of my life.

I have decided to continue my study and to pursue my goal once I dreamed so much. Some readers or friends may say I am impulsive. But this thought has been in my mind since 2 years ago and I am waiting for the spark to light it off. I have found the spark though.

    Very well, I am glad that you have finally decided after so long. I am proud of what you have done and your achievement but it is time for you to let go excessive baggages and cross the river yourself.

    Don’t let your talent wasted on unnecessary deeds. You have done enough good deeds and time to do your own a good deed. Think of yourself now. Life is short and you have not many decades left. Create another saga that your children will be proud of.

    You have my fullest support.

    Thanks. This time, if I have to let go a baggage right in the middle of the river, I will. I just feel that some of my effort has been wasted and I do not wish to waste more time on people who does not heed my words.

    It will be quite fun to study along with my children. I should finalize my enrollment next week or week after before end of August. Let’s the engine roars.

    Nothing is wasted. Your experience is hardly come by and not many people can afford to have such experience in early stage of life like you. Your experience will somehow aid your study. Huge disappointment if you don’t further your study now. Go for it.

    I really admire your ability and trust you will go all the way. If you need any help, just ask.
