I had been studying unusually hard recently. Weekends are dedicated to self study unless I got tasks on hand that I got to deal with. Currently taking Statistic 1 and Maths 1 with Maths 1 being a major killer for me. For someone who had never ever studies A Maths back in Secondary School and miraculously got a B3 for E Maths in O Levels. Maths 1 is like bundling A Level Maths and Poly Maths inside 3 short months. Yes. This might sound a bit far fetched but it is the truth.
To be frank, I had never been so hardworking back when I was a full time student. NEVER EVER. Even when I had 3 Supplementary Papers in one year during my Poly Days. Not sure if time had turn me into someone who is hardworking or one who is simply afraid of screwing up his own studies and dreams. Yes. Those older and higher up in the rank of life have more responsibilities hanging on to them. I am just glad that I had become one of them after a journey of 28 years.
Dreams. I had wrote a few posts on it. The need for someone to have dream and how it is the leading light for people who is shrouded in clouds of gloom and doom. I am beginning to make my first step towards it and to be honest, this painful path made me realize one more thing.
Dreams require lots of determination and discipline before one can reach the promised destination. The travel of a million miles begin with the first single step. To even begin with, one got to take that first single step. It think it is precisely the first single step that is hard to begin with. One can talk till the cow come home and yet unable to achieve anything as all he does is talk. Ah. The beauty of speech.
To me, actions speak louder than words. Always had been. The reason why I am talking about this is the fact that I am seeing friends who are waiting for their dreams to just drop onto their lap from the sky. They can paint beautiful picture of what they want to achieve in life. Their desires and dreams. Problem begin the moment I start to ask them how you plan to achieve it. Most of them will come unstuck.
The older I get, the more I find that planning in life is of utmost importance. Executing the plan after planning for it call for great courage, determination and discipline. Though it had been less than a months since I am a part time student and a full time employee, I am beginning to feel the weariness if it. Working hard during working hours and yet having to be alert after it for your lectures.
There is a saying in Chinese which goes like this. ć èŠćç. One have to go through the hardship in life before being able to enjoy the sweet fruits of one labour. To my friends who are still dreaming, ponder hard. Time flies by in a blink of the eye. I sincerely hope that all of us will be able to achieve our dreams. Nothing can take away good planning and hard work in life.
