Maroon 5 is playing on the radio now and I'm feeling totally relaxed on a Friday afternoon. Not because the week is rolling into the weekend, cos it really doesn't make a difference to me anyway. Its a kind of calm confidence coming over me.
A quick check showed that I haven't updated my blog since June, it's November now and that makes 5 months already. So many things had happened since then. My untimely exit from the workforce (yet again) in September and the passing of a good friend in October.
I've just embarked on my Real Estate career and what I feel like saying is, right now the road ahead is still very long. However, I have built a strong foundation by choosing the right company to start out with. Eventhough I have not sold any property yet, I would like to thank Reapfield Properties for providing me with a strong foundation to start in this business (eventhough I had to pay for the training), I feel that its all worth it. I mean, which person ever gained from something that was given out for free, right?
Unless it was a lashing, then the person would have gained a heartache and a plan to get even!
I'm still not very sure about my direction moving forward towards the future, at least I'm taking the first step there and know that all's well ends well (as far as the movie title goes).
All my 8 MBA subjects ends at the end of next year, that is if I consistently take 2 subjects per semester from Jan all the way to July and end with 1 subject at the end of the year. After that I have to plan and start on my thesis. Like I anticipated from the start, it ain't easy but I'm now halfway through it, I won't stop now! I hope that the me reading this 2 years from now when I'm finally an MBA will know that I'm a fighter and not scared to fight all the way to the end. I know that I will be proud of what I have achieved!
By then I would be well footed in my Real Estate biz too. Right now I am struggling so much. My opportunity cost this 3 months I am out on my own is more than 10 thousand ringgit, which is alot in today's economy. I know that I still have to find a job right now to ensure that I can still comfortably drive my car and comfortably live in my condo. That is besides having food on the table everyday and pay for the bills.
I will pull through these tough times! I imagine myself laughing heartily at this blog entry many years from now when I'm financially stable. I know that all my efforts won't go to waste. My motto, "Every step I take brings me closer to the realization of my goals and dreams" still holds true and strong in my mind and soul.
As my good friend Stanley told me some time back. Don't worry about what you don't have now. Whether you win or lose, you will know when you're in your older years.
Obama had taught me that, no matter who you are, black, white, yellow, tall, short, skinny, fat, if you think you can, you can. I believe! Yes I can!
