25 January 2006 10.00 a.m Today seems like a better day. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping. Just the roads are busy as usual. Receiving an email from Judge Business School, University of Cambridge has somehow open up possibilities in my current gloomy life. A word of encouragement in that email “ looking forward for your application in the MBA Program, Judge Business School, University of Cambridge. Just this one short sentence brought some courage in me. The excitement. The hopes and dreams just running through my mind. Upon receiving this wonderful news, I just thought to myself. What if dreams really do come true? What if I put some extra efforts and finally am accepted? Do you think it could happen to an average-Joe like me? I wonder. But I would not deny, the thought of it excites me and it could last a lifetime. Do you know what it could mean to my family and me? It really would make wonders for Halmi and I as well for our future off springs. I know I should not jump to conclusion or think too far ahead. But these are things that make us move forward. How we see things, how we perceive about life and the future comes from how our encouragement sits in our minds. We may not see it visibly now, but it is for the future potential inside of us. No doubt, there is a voice telling me “what if you put so much effort and you finally don’t get what you really want”. “How are you going to face these challenges.”? Nevertheless, life is full of opportunities. It is either you wanna grab it or not! Of course there are risk to consider. Nobody says everything is a breeze. But do you know what is even more risky in life? Not taking any risks at all!
