Life is like fishing... What you catch is what you get.. Everyday,fishermen go out to the sea.. They fish for living.. But they could not predict what they will get. They wont hope for something impossible like catching little sharky, 'memo' or water dragon for the day.
So is life.. We cant ask for things that we could not possibly get..What is yours will be yours. What is not yours , just let it go. We cant force it to come when things dont belong to us. Its like holding a grasp of sand. If we hold it too tight, we will lose more. Asking for more creates more frustrations and anger.. But the issue here is why cant we ask for more? Can we? Is it wrong of wanting something too desperately and couldnt let it go .... Its life we are talking about. Its our inner self that craves for things that we dont have and we want to have it no matter what it takes.
Why i put out this issue is that i heard from a friend of mine that a friend of his wants to be a doctor. He really struggle hard in order to get good results in SPM and STPM. And alas, he get straight A's for his A level. The hope is getting higher and the dreams are about to come true. He wants to get a local uni or get scholarships so that he can achieve the sky high ambition. However, it ended up in dissapointment. As usual, life cant be smooth sail all along.. There are obstacles that we need to face. However, he wont give up .. There are sacrifices behind the desperado he is having. To get at least 300K to go oversease to fulfil his destiny is not a small amount. For financial wise, family sacrifices are needed for sure .
Its a scenario that not only a few of us facing in regard of ways that we manipulate things in order to get stuffs that we want in life. Is it worth a sacrifice? Cant we just follow the trails as being set for us and move on like what other ppl do. Must we strive that hard, to go thru dozens of hardships to get a feeling of satisfactions. Getting up from fall is a painful procedure especially it is done repeatedly. In the middle of nowhere, sometimes u will feel scare, feel lonely and having million attempts to give up. To pass thru the dark side in order to get to the brighter side, it requires a lot of sacrifices and strength. It is not merely a simple stepping stones. Thats the sacrifices that need to be made in order to get what you really wanted in life. At some moments of time, you wil even ask yourself.. Is it worth trying? Am i in the right track?
And the problem is ... is becoming a doctor so good? haha.. i really couldnt answer this question though i am sitting here in front of my laptop , labeling myself as a doctor .To me, its just a job..its not an easy money.. every cents earn according to your own effort. Working 36 hrs during oncalls.. And having backaches, headaches, heartaches and u name it.. any aches will do..
Hmmm.. with all the sacrifices made by ppl these days.. it keeps me wondering.. Is ambition a big thing until a person can sell their properties..transitioning from rich to rack just to grab the opportunity to turn into a white collar saint instead of a simple person who seize the day by holding the concept of ' come what may'..
No idea... another food for thoughts..
