Dear Blog,
The season has finally arrived at my door step of life. As each year passes by, similar group of accountants would be expecting to face off this phase of life’s challenge. Some would take it with a smile. Some would take it with much anticipation. Some would take it with hidden distress. Some would take it with much fear. Some would take it with a solemn cry. All in all, individuals have different expectations when this period approaches.
For me, over these years of working, no doubt I learned many wonderful life’s lessons, met with wonderful colleagues from different walks of lives, different backgrounds, different ages and different cultures. The many colours that painted my very own journey in working life. Making it seems beautiful instead of just a single colour, dull and boring. I have gained life experiences, knowledge, friendships and different memories in return.
But reality is reality. It really boils down to what am I really seeking in life. Never had it crossed my mind to see how my future would be. But things becoming a little more clear now. I have my mum to thank for in opening up my mind to see that there is much more to life than just working hard alone. Yet little by little I am seeing how much time am I really spending with my mum and appreciating her. For all the many years of effort that she brought me up, all the many years of hardship she gone through, putting me into college and university, getting my very first degree, and fighting all night long so she could provide me with the best.
So where am I? How have I, as a son, repay my mum for the many years of effort in raising me up? It hits me badly enough to see what had I turned myself into over the years.
God, only you know deeply what is in my heart. All things happen for a good reason and I’m sure You will have Your ways with me. I am happy for all Your provisions. How You had brought me up to be a real fighter and never learn to quit. Yes, I am never born a quitter and I never quit what I am doing halfway through. At many times I would ensure delivery of end results to my best. But knowing what I have been through, it’s all worth my pain and effort.
Life is like a marathon. Before we began running, we set forth working out preparing ourselves to meet the big event. In life, we prepare and equip ourselves with knowledge and relevant experience to carry through our life’s marathon. When the gunshot is heard, the race begins. Just like our life working for any organisation, that is where our race of working life begins. Along the race we feel tired and weary. Along the way we feel pain on our knees and feet. Just like our life working for any organisation, we are bound to face struggles and difficulties.
At the moment of pain, many would have given up. Many would have given excuse for not continuing on anymore. But those who persist to the end, the sense of achievement and victory is a feeling that is indescribable. Just like our life working for any organisation, when we are bound to face struggle and difficulties, many would dropped out and given up. But those who persist on would like the meaning of joy.
Nonetheless, it all depends truly. Success is subjective! When we have a goal and dream to chase after, it makes life worth more to fight for!
