Success.
San Francisco, CA. What is success?
Most of us grow up with people telling us of how important success is in life. We often hear stories about people who made it big, and maybe sometimes how happy they are. So we go about life in search for this 'success'.
But what really is success? Is it supposed to bring us happiness, or just the perception of others that we are happy, because in some light, we are successful to them? If so, how important is it to be successful? Since it could possibly be, different for everyone.
'We need to know our purpose in order to be successful.'
I heard that sometime ago, and ever since, I've been trying to gain clarification and certainty about my purpose. And Id like to think that I've found this 'purpose' of mine, because its just so hard to move, not knowing where we are going.
//
The thing about us as people,
Most of us know what to do, but we don't go about doing it.
Many times I've found myself deviating from that inner compass of mine that heads north. During my bad days, even when I have the feeling of where north is, I guess the force just as in Lost causes my plane to crash...and not do what I should.
//
Finals are in less than a month. With the many things that would be happening, I want to approach the last 3 weeks of University life here in Malaysia with open arms. Things doesn't seem as easy as it used to be, which comes with its good and bad.
For Sydney, besides my accommodation, I've got my flight booked and paid my fees. Looks like Im really making my way down there in less than 4 months.

A new hair-do anyone? d=)
