Today I realised three things.
My wallet looks worn out.
My handphone is gonna spoil soon.
My laptop is more than 3 years old.
But then, if I were to buy new ones for all 3 of them, only one thing can happen to me.
Bankruptcy.
Think maybe I will get a new handphone first cause it is more important.
Nowadays, my handphone will auto restart it's system by itself.
I am worried that one day, it will try to restart itself, but end up it can never start up again.
So, I am now in the second quarter of this year.
Lately I had been doing lots of self-reflection of how I had been living my life.
And I asked myself: ' The state that I am in now, is that how I wish my life would be for the rest of my life?'
The answer was no.
And I start to remember all the things I had wanted to do in the past, all my dreams and goals.
A few days back, I took a cab home after work.
The cab driver was really friendly and chit chat a lot with me.
He asked me what are my plans for now.
I told him I am still thinking and looking around for answers.
So he told me a story.
' Last time, Uncle was in the stone(precious stone) industry, working under a boss. So I got to travel to many different countries for the exhibitions of our products. I met many rich bosses who were working in the same industry too. From all these rich bosses, I came to realise something similar about all of them. To them, collecting stones is a form of hobby. Hobbies are something that you enjoy doing. So if your hobby is made into a job, then work does not seem like work any more. Everyday you will feel happy going to work, cause in actual fact you are not going to work, you are going to do something that you enjoy. When you enjoy doing work, you will be more willing to put more effort and heart into doing it. With real effort and hard work, success is definite to come. So girl, now that you still got time to think about what you want to do with your life must think properly ok? Choose things that you like to do.'
Boy did the cab driver's words enlighten me.
Though I already heard this theory long ago, but it was till the cab driver said it that I start to take this theory seriously.
I thought about what I liked.
I thought about the future job that I would like to work.
And today, I kind of figured out how I'm going to get the job that I want.
Since I had finished most of my jobs booking, I decided to take a break.
Anyway I'm going to start school soon and I should prepare myself for it.
I need to buck up on my Jap and nail art too since I had lost the motivation to do well in them recently.
So this is a promise to myself:
I will take this break to do all the things that I said I want to do but never really get to do them.
I will start taking small steps to be more healthy, like going to sleep early and exercise regularly.
I will do all my Jap homework and revision.
I will not skip Jap lessons unnecessary.
I will sign up for ACCA and do all the research I need for it.
I will stick to my beauty regime as much as possible.
I will meet up with my friends and loved ones more often.
I will read the Bible more often.
I will learn to play the guitar again.
In life, one must always stop and look back and reflect.
