Most of my life i have been a relatively lazy person with little drive to feed my ambition. I remember that the only time that my drive fed the ambition was when i woke up one morning in sec 4 and asked myself what i wanted to do with my life. I guess it made me study just that little bit harder for prelims and Os. That drive was soon lost after that as i found myself in a foreign land, with foreign people and a foreign culture. Its been 7 long years since i've felt that drive.
Well, its back again, and this time i'm going to make sure it stays for good. I've been piling myself up with heaps of things to do so i cant say i've got nothing to do. Life is short, and time is of the essence. Mum has always been perplexed as to why i can be bored as she spends almost all of her time reading and attending courses to improve herself. Well its time to be like mum.
I've realised that its really not how much you put into work, its how you do it.I've tried a different approach to studying and learning.My purpose is not to read the lecture notes and memorise it nor understand it, but to understand the overall aim of the lecture by reading widely in the form of journals and newspapers. Everyday for the last 2 weeks i have been going through cnn, bbc, reuters, australia times, australian financial review, and even business times on a daily basis.I must admit that the world of knowledge is extremely addictive that i now find myself ignoring the ignorant and hoping to start intellectual talk with those who do read widely.
Knowledge is a powerful thing,i'm pretty pissed with myself for wasting so many years of my life on computer games and television.I have officially uninstalled my warcraft and will try my very best to stay away from it.Time spent away from it has been very well spent.
I guess being away from home and not being able to do the things i want to do where i want to be has given me a big slap in the face.Took me awhile to realise that i'm relatively far ahead of the norm in terms of education and should not let anyone catch up. Perhaps many years in the future i will look upon today as the day that i saved myself from wasting my life away.
