Well, its not necessary a demoralising thought, but...well maybe its a wet blanket in the sense that there is so many factors of life that one has to consider and how nice if we could truly chase after things that really matters to us, rather than due to survival and commitments, we had to conform.
Yan cong was talking to me again about finding a job now and that instead of internships that I am currently aiming, I should trying to get a full time one. But, I didnt want to start in 2012, partly its also due to Master Lynn advice. I pointed out an observation to him about him and the rest of us. I told him that SMU kids always seems to emphasis on "selling" their resumes and stuff, u knw...like chiongsters ttm and I told him that NTU/NUS kids are more chill and they dont put that much thought into the chionging part, or in a way to "monetise" their CVs. SIM? ha...I think most of us just dont even bother too much about it...I guess even the most guai ones are more concerned with grades rather, of course, this is not true across the board hur.
Everytime I meet up with them, kinda give me a reality check every time. And thoughts flow through my mind, like I REALLY got to chiong and in some ways sell myself out to the world.I guess maybe my core friends aren't really like YC they all...but imho, i agree with YC. Because at the beginning, I am already at a disadvantage. Yes, it might sounds self defeating and all, but its kinda the fact. What I do with this fact that will make it a propellent rather than a weight. Seeing how both LY n zhenni struggle to find jobs, further enhanced this point. And with most companies expected a downturn next year, so jobs market will definitely suffer, hence my initial plan is to chill and try to learn new skills or get more "ammo" on my resume. Hopefully, able to attain a job in 2013 instead.

the above words are from the 1st paragraph if you guys didn't notice..lol..but anws, I guess that it kinda sums up my outlook or rather should I say about life. And thats I guess, deep down is my ultimate goal. One of the few reasons of me chasing and learning about trading and finance is because I want to take money off my plate, so that I can enjoy the other food. When is it enough? I also don't know, but at least enough for me to not be a slave to it.
I shall stop here, hopefully this will push me on. So to you guys, lets keep on fighting for the things we truly want. HWAITING!=)
