Met one of my classmate today.... Dun really wanna elaborate but it really set me to thinking
what one is meant to achieve in life. After graduation, most of us just plunge straight into work. And work will be the rest of our life. Sometimes looking ahead, what I see is just endless work, monotonous and boring at times, but nevertheless something that everyone has to do.
I am beginning to sense a gradual change in me... No longer looking to each day as a brand new day full of challenges, but rather an endless week of problems. No longer having the enthusiasm and planning the schedule for each day but just going into the office mindlessly and doing whatever I can remember that I need to do. I am beginning to dread the beginning of each week.
I question what is the other things that I wanna achieve in life besides working. What is it that I wanna get out from my work? How can I help others while I help myself? How to let my parents live more comfortably? How do I inject passion and enthusiasm back into my work again? Continous list of questions but there is no direct answer nor is there a book I can study. Is working really my everything in life?
Ending the day with a heavier note, one will never realise the importance of something until it is gone. Only when it struck so close to me, to someone I know till I fully understand how it feels to lose that something important. It is the first time I really saw pain in the person's eyes. I sincerely wish the best to that classmate cos I noe till the very very end, each moment and each memory has been cherished with no regrets.
