A measurement of success

"Success isn't a matter of being the best and winning the race, it is a matter of handling the worst and finishing the race."

There i am, at a crossroad, ready to restart my new chapters in life. I have nothing behind, therefore, I feel free suddenly. Free from all the worries about someone, free from work commitment. In fact, I was stupid enough to drop that someone a message to share my worries for what that someone is doing recently - heading for a fall! Let it be sooner than later, for if it comes later, that someone will fall badly for having commit too much. Never mind about that someone, no longer my problem! Even at this time still have the energy to tick me off, very funny! No thanks to that someone's so-called "good friend of 15 years". Enough!

Back to the main topic! What can be worst than the current situation that I am in now. Well, I have fallen, but I have got up again. Before I spring forward fast, I need to think through one more round. And I need to think through all the failures that have had happened in the recent past, in the distant past. They are repeating in fact. Due to my ego and over-confidence in the past, I have not learned those lessons before. Now for the forward sprint!

The race is not over yet. I am badly behind, yes I admit. Not ready to face the future, and not ready to take on new events. Never mind, the focus now is to secure the elusive lucrative job first. If overseas job is a dream waiting to become true, let that good local job be a reality then. Therefore, I will sprint forward now, hopefully will enter the rat race again within 3 months. And this time, I shall remember!
