Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

This article was introduced by my classmate. I don't really keep abreast with Technology news, and I seldom find out the background of all these big names. There are times that I don't even know who these famous people are..

Thus I am so amazed that Steve Jobs do not even graduate from college. Which brings me to my next thought, is it all those rich and successful businessman do not actually possess much education qualification.

I am still wondering if I make the right choice in taking my masters. I spend so many years studying, had I wasted more time studying? How much education can give to me? As compared to others who go through more on job training. Who will explore other stuff. Who will not be deaden by education standards.

Singapore education standards might be comparable to world-class. But to me, it is just as dead too. Too much exams, too much homework, too much emphasis of results. Here is a result-oriented place, but so is everywhere else.

Then what is my results slip for life? I can't even see my progress slip. Because in life, there is no such thing as progress slip or check list or help guide. Like what this article states, you cannot connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. Sounds tough to me! It is like what I always tell myself, the future is so hazy, you never know what will happen next. The only way is to trust your gut feeling.

In other words, I'm just praying that I'm going the right way... and if I don't? I pray that I will be lead back to the right way again..

Actually the impact in this article is not on Connecting dots, or Love & Loss, or Death. But all 3 clumped together have a mysterious effect on me. I know how precious life is, and how much more precious it is when you came back from near-death experiences. I know losing sometimes make you realised what you really have lost. And how sometimes, it is just a blessing in disguise. I know that one has to keep on believing, keep on being confident of oneself.

But to stay hungry and foolish... how long can I last before I loses my energy... my confidence... my life span...

p/s : Am I optimistic now or pessimistic? I really don't know... I only know I'm still cherishing a thought, a thought that will lead me to where I want, what I want!
