Life after high school / SPM

Life isn't really that bad after SPM/leaving high school. I've started and quitted several jobs. Yes, call me a princess or whatsoever. Haha. I just simply wouldn't like wasting my time or spending time doing things I don't enjoy or depressing me. I only have 3 months of holiday and it's not long to be honest. Time passes as fast as light and Chinese New Year is approaching soon. I'm now currently working as a waitress. It's been around a week now since I've started work. Awesome colleagues though I'm kinda like the only female (youngest). Everyone was really friendly so I don't exactly hate nor really like my job. It was okay, okay enough for me to spend my time 'beneficially' and learn/experiencing something new. I need to this to finalise my course choice. I have to say I'm glad I'm job-hopping around. It made me realise that I'm not fit for any hospitality lines like waitress-ing. Hahahaha.

The More You Learn, the More You Earn

The more you learn, the more you earn.

I came across this phrase when I was randomly googling about "education" and it's privileges. After leaving high school, I'm struck with questions. Does holding a degree gives you more privilege in society? Is it worth spending thousands of dollars for your course? I do believe spending money for education is good. Basic education up to secondary level is necessary for you to survive in society. Knowledge itself wouldn't bring you far, the skill of yours in playing your "game" of life matters most. 

Are you the studious type? 

Many believed that by obtaining a degree it will secure a stable career and life. Of course not all of them but I was once one of them. I'm on my holidays now while waiting for my results therefore I  tend to think and reflect a lot when I have spare time. The current society made me question, do I really have to study my ass off just to live a stable life in future? Then and again, I started finding part-time jobs looking around and observing people around me to find the right answer. Take this as an example : Working as a clinic helper. 

You get hands on medical experiences without needing to pay for it. Does working in a clinic makes any difference with a medical student interning? Please excuse my shallow opinion on it. Of course a medic/ pharmacist interning learned more about stuff like this. Based on my friend's experience, I've just came to a conclusion that based on working experience, you can just be as "skilled" as any other graduates from the medical field. Memorising isn't hard, you just need to put in a lot of effort. I've not been in the shoes of a pharmacist but I'm quite sure that their field of work revolves in knowing and understanding the usage of drugs. Bring one person who's a high school graduate and make him memorise tones of drug names, I guess he would be as useful as a pharmacist as well eh? excuse me please, but I do give credibility and admiration to those who learn in depth on their field and certified drug practitioners etc. The inner curious me just couldn't help but question why do we have to study and spend so much money on specialise fields like this where as skills like this can be learned and practised and it's pretty subjective. 

But the level and degree of education is definitely a privilege. Definitely having a degree certification takes you to another whole new level compare to others with no special qualifications. On the surface, having a degree looks better compare to those without one.It looks more convincing and promising to employers. It's easier to filter their choices of people based on your degree of education. Of course, I prefer people looking at the big picture and see the inner ability/talent of each and everyone. Takes a lot of time but worthwhile. It's useless being educated when you're not even capable in living skills.BUT, I admire people who study a lot and make an effort in life. Being successful is not easy. Life is subjective. Depending on what type of person you are, play the game well. We see people living a wealthy life without depending on education but skills solely. 

All in all, it depends on how you tackle your life. 

Have the money? I suggest you study and learn everything you want in life

Financially tight? Study part time and work. Or anything, really. Doesn't matter. If you're capable, anything is possible.

The more you learn, the more you earn. Learning ( in my opinion ) doesn't mean that you have to go through college/university in order to be educated. Learning involves the process of experiencing and venturing into new stuff which helps you gain knowledge and skill in life. Studying and learning is two different things. Learning shows more value and it feels "fresher" compare to study. 

Therefore,  " the more you learn, the more you earn" .

Yet another day has passed
Though I have nothing to blog much about the boring life I have
I might as well spend some time blogging
Even if it's some worthless stuff about myself :)
I'm pretty excited for tomorrow as I get to meet my friends for a movie
I pray for another peaceful day ahead
And the wisdom to choose wisely about my choices
I will once again pay a visit to Facon's Edu Fair
TOMORROWWW

Courage

I need courage to pursue what I really want to be. But I have no idea what I really want to be. Can I do the things I like and make a career out of it? Am I suppose to think more about myself instead of harbouring the hopes and expectations from people around me?

Maybe I'm still too young to think about stuff like "success" etc. Somehow I'm anxious about my future. Will I be able to make the best situation out of everything? Feeling of being insecure had been gushing in and out of me.

What am I suppose to do?

To erase all these insecurities?
To be optimistic is not easy

You can be once or twice 

But when things starts to overwhelm

You start wavering.

But then again

Behind every incident lies a reason

A reason to keep you moving

A reason to keep you striving 

More towards the path you've been looking out for

Grant me the courage to face all difficulties

And help me believe that failure is the mother of success.

Work hard and it'll pay

Even it doesn't

You've tried your best 

Therefore

Held your head high 

And work harder for an amazing comeback
