I am a dreamer. Was. Still. & Always.
I used to dream about being a doctor. Going to Australia. Being a singer. And fly like Wong Fei Hong.
For me, dreams are defines as to fulfil my desires for my own happiness.
Ahhh... What a feelin'.
Today, March 7, 2012, that definition defines me as a SELFISH man!
Why?
Bcuz, even when I am dreamin', all I can think of is my happiness. MY OWN.
Realising that this world is comprises of 6.999 billion of people, and if those numbers are made up of selfish people,
we would have 6.999 billion of cars,
6.999 billion of houses,
6.999 billion of every single thing.
Bcuz we want to have everything TO. OUR. OWN.
These couple of months after I finished my Bachelor Degree, my mind has been occupied with What's Next questions. Where would I be. What I wanna do. Who am I gonna be.
Then I stumbled to one quote from Edgar Cayce saying, Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions.
In order to answer my What's Next questions, I start to dream.
Everyday, my dreams are getting bigger and wilder. At one point, I can't even contain my dreams bcuz I get too excited. I've lost it. Lost in my own dreams.
Why? Bcuz I kept on dreaming FOR myself. Over and over again.
Dreams is like this.
They need to be achieve. Once you succeeded, do you find a new dream or didya stick with them and die with it? That is the actual question that we all need to figure out.
So I look inside the vessel that holds my dreams and wishes.
All I can find is myself. Only me. I say to myself, What is there when you only have dreams to yourself and no one to share with? What is happiness when you're alone?
It is like dreaming to be in Antarctic by yourself for the rest of your life. Maybe some of you want that, but that is not dreaming, that is isolation.
Having said that, it doesn't mean you have to give up your selfish dreams. All that we should do is ENHANCE those dreams to a different realm than it is not.
Possibly, share them.
I almost forgot why I wanna be a doctor when I was a kid. It is bcuz that the fact that my eldest sister passed away not due to Malaria but bcuz of the slow service of the doctors/nurses in my kampung's clinic. Listening to that sad story, as a kid, I promised to myself that I would be a successful MD whom actually save lives. Be the honest Dr. Be the people's Dr. Be the Dr that save someone's sister.
I dream FOR people.
Though now I can't be a doctor, I can educate future doctors. *wink*
Teaching is my passion now.
So, for me to become a great teacher, I should include myself, my students, my school into my dreams. These are the few ingredients for a better education.
From now on, for whatever that I planned to do, and what I am destined to be, I would always dream for people.
Dream on people
