Belief..

Stan came in on Saturday to teach. He pulled me over to a corner and we started talking. He told me that he is kinda burnt out and dun really feel like teaching anymore. Hmmm.. he is giving up something that he really loves because he simply cannot cope with the rigours of work in the weekdays and trying to do more in the weekends. He just switched his job from insurance in CitiBank to coporate loans in StandardChartered. And of course.. he dun seem to enjoy his work.

I am not picking on Stan in this story or anyone in particular. I want to make a point. I was sharing it with the students who were here on Saturday, including Matt, Ben, Sylvia, Minru... The best thing you can ever do in life is to be able to work on something that you have a passion in. And when you have that passion, you probably will enjoy every minute of your life. Almost everyone spent the most time of their days at work, and it will be so meaningful to be able to do something you love.

I think a lot of us in AOM wouldnt really wanna hold an office job (I think so!!) . I wanted to show everyone The Secret because I dun want all of you to be cynical about your dreams. The greatest people in the world dare to dream big and they always believe it will happen. They might not know how it is going to come about but they still believe it. I have 2 real life cases of my friends in the form of Kelly and Meimei and certainly they didnt know how it was going to happen for them when they first started out. No matter. They are here where they are now because of one word: Belief.

Quote of the day: Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love.

Yes.. find something that you love. Dun delay and act now!!! And yes.. If Amos Ang is not reading this.. please send him this link!!!
