Warning: it is normal for you to fall asleep upon reading this entry, so read this when you have insomnia.
My first ambition million years ago was to be a lawyer. This was probably because my grandfather was used to be a judge in the court of justice. I was really young then and was fascinated by the quality of the paper people use to write testimonials and verdicts. Besides, I have a great sense of justice and this is further support by my protruding and straight nose bridge.
My second ambition was to be a scientist/inventor. I was too young then to differentiate between the two. However, I know this noble job can save people and bring benefits to mankind. After all, the contribution of the scientists are always recorded in bibliographies and gloried by Nobel awards.
My third ambition was to be an engineer just like my father. It looks so cool to command the computer occupied by numerous incomprehensive and perplexing graphics. Furthermore, my math foundation used to be strong and I love to do challenging 3D sums.
My fourth ambition was to be a physics teacher. I used to be the physics representative in Nanyang Girls’ High and was taught by this comical yet passionate (in teaching la) teacher called Mr Chan. He made me realize that through hard work, everything is possible. Coincidentally, all physics teachers that I have met are entertaining yet witty.
My ambition today is to be a business woman. To many, the image of a business woman is a shrew, selfish and bossy one. But, one just needs to be pragmatic in this realistic world. Many dream about owning the golden apple but when we wake up, all we get is an apple seed!
A scientist may concoct the vaccine to tackle the H5N1 virus but it might not be provided to every person in need. Similarly, people in many places today cannot afford to receive basic education let alone employ a lawyer. In fact, many best things in life are not free of charge.
Money is involved in manufacturing, in marketing, in tourism, in education and even in doing charity! Without money, sadly, many things that we are able to accomplish are yet possible to be executed.
Therefore, only by doing business can one possess the absolute power to afford exorbitant services, to tap on human capital, to research for the advancement in technology and ultimately to change the world!
