The next step

It’s the middle of exams… I really shouldn’t be doing this. But the urge has never been so great. I had to write it out somehow and the blog seemed like the best place to put this.

Have been in the education system for almost 17 years already and yes, I’m starting to get sick and tired of it. I never really thought I would reach this stage (that was me six years ago), now it’s a totally different story. Similarly, I never thought I would be remotely interested in business; now I am. Perhaps a sign from above that I should be getting on with life out of school and onto something else.
Meow was never cut out for the academic track anyway. Whatever remains of that dream would remain as it is… just another dream.

Why the sudden interest? Not really quite sudden, going into business has been suggested and talked about by people around me quite often. Yes, I have witnessed dramatic failures and successes among these cases. If you’re thinking I’m gonna try out something big, wrong… just something small. A little business on my own, something I am interested in, enough to help me get by, enjoy what I am doing (at least in the early stages) and if possible have the scope for expansion.
It’s not going to be a bed of roses, definitely bumpy at the start but to do something on your own, something you like and enjoy. Doing business becomes part of sharing what you enjoy with your customers. The motivation is there to keep you going and I’m very certain your customers or even the potential ones would feel it too even if they choose not to purchase your product or engage your services this time round.

Short term plans
Starting to think about the jobs I would want to do once I step out of school in a few months down the road. The job would help me clear the immense amount of debt that I have chalked up with my education and also give me the experience about the working world before I decide to venture out on my own. There’s of course a lot of learning to do from those who are already doing their own business and also hopefully any nuggets of advice I could get from those already working about the work world and what to expect. Transition into a new lease of life, a new phrase of my own little growth and development as an individual.
Exams seem like only a speck in this entire grand scheme of things. It’s a necessary road every individual has to go through in life. What matters is passing the University of Life, failure is not allowed. Pass or get eliminated. (Courtesy of WL).

Yes I should be getting out of school… I never felt this urge last year, maybe because I wasn’t ready then. Meanwhile, I am learning all I can from where I am before looking back in July and bidding the institution adieu.

考试也只是人身计划中的一小情节，有如过眼云烟一般。以后的路该怎么走，前途会是如何还是个未知数。抱着满怀的理想与信念，勇往直前。渺小的我在这辽阔的天地里寻找自己的天空。
