a sound advice

weeks ago, i met a teacher who taught me bm back in my high school years. i was taken aback slightly because he has lost weight. i am always fond of this sir. he is one who not only inculcates the subject matter to you but life principles as well. throughout his lessons, i feel i have not only developed as a student, as a human being as well. he taught us how to be a good human being.

we exchanged greetings. he taught i am still studying in university. laughed a bit there. do i still look that young?

i did explain my job nature and the hours i put in for this work. he did advise me again. he said, "chee seng, when you have studied until very high in life, do not be afraid to give it up in search of happiness. just be happy." these sentences are still vividly remembered. i understand what he meant. it really takes courage to be happy. i am serious. there a few things one need in order to be in the state, in my opinion:

1) stop comparing
2) realise that everyone's journey is different
3) stay true to yourself
4) know what you want in life
5) stick to it once you found what you want

yeah, i know sir. thank you again for the life learning advice. i am in midst of process. it just takes time.

forever a teacher and life guide
