Whatever happened to dreams? I've heard this kind of stuff somewhere before. That when we were all children, we had many dreams. We did not care about anything else other than achieving what we want. And to think that back then we had no skills at all. As we grow up, We acquire many life skills, go to school, make many new friends, But sometimes, even as we mature, we begin to think of many consequences of our actions. Although I cannot deny that this is indeed important, Many times this can create doubts in us. And in this case, of course, doubting our own abilities to achieve our own dreams. To tell the truth, Since I was young I had aspired to be one of them. And until now, that desire still has not dampened. In fact, I'm now even more sure of it. But the thing is, When people asked me what I wanna do in life [in uni] a few years ago, I would say something like "I wanna take THAT course in uni!" But today, while meeting my relatives during Chinese New Year, I instead replied them with something like, "Maybe I wanna try THAT course. I heard it's really hard to get into that here in Singapore though." And it dawned on me. How different were my two responses. My current response sounded like I did not aspire for that anymore. Like I never really dream to take that course in university. No wonder one of my teachers recently told me that she could not see my passion. While two years ago, a friend of my Dad said that he could see the passion burning in my eyes. Was it the competitive environment here in NJ which made me think I would not make it? Was it the pressure? Was it the requirement for that course? No, this can't be. I knew it all along already. My point is, If a child in me once managed to discard everything just to play my favourite games or acquire my favourite candy, What's holding me back in I must transform back to the past. Must regain my own passion for it. And of course, let nothing stand in my way. By the way, Happy Chinese New Year everyone. |
