“Grab the opportunities as you go…”


This was one of the best suggestions my mentor gave during our meet…

Not knowing which direction aim after completing a degree…
I feel a bit hesitant…
Many people support me to go for Masters…
But there are other subjects to aim for Masters…
I know I need a goal to aim for one path… one direction…

My mentor said,
“If you only aim for one thing…
And closes all opportunities given to you…
What happen when you grow old?
Will you regret not having a second chance of grabbing the opportunities that will enhance your life in future?”

I paused and asked,
“Then what am I supposed to do?
If there isn’t any goal ahead,
I will lose focus…
Then I won’t be able to do well for my degree…”

He looked at me thoughtfully,
“You will be able to do well in all things regardless to the circumstance…
Take one step at a time…
Don’t put your mind onto one goal and close all doors…
You will never know when you can actually shine further than your imagination!
Maybe you feel you won’t be able to do well…
But who know,
You will end up surprising yourself more than anyone else…

“I suggest that you put a shorter aim and master that;
And then slowly move to another plan for another stage…
From there, you are able to enjoy every single moment along the way…
And not blind by one result at the end of the entire process…
But to grasp the full experiences as a whole!”

I smiled and said…
“I have more plans than just studying…
Although I aim to put my study as my first priority…
But there is one thing that I will never ever forget…
I hope I can enhance it while studying…

“Oh, I know I can…
That’s what I love…
And that’s what I should do…
And that will let me look back during my old age and said…
‘University life is my most unforgettable moment because I experience all opportunities like no others!’
And that’s where I grab all the opportunities as I go…”

There goes my aim…
Let’s see if I can do it…

How Social Media gradually destroying us

Back in 2000, internet began to take the world by storm. Like many other children my age, I was quite tech-savy and was the first in the...
