Dreams

Remember when you were young, mum and dad will always ask you wat do you want to do when you grow up? What are your dreams? Back then, everyone would say that they want to be a teacher, solider blah blah blah.. As you grow older, some how or rather the environment starts to influence your beliefs and thinking. Sterotpying success and failure. Right from Primary School where EM1 is elite, EM3 mean gone case. Next was Sec School.. Express was the norm, Normal Tech was #@$@#. Then came our time to make our decision. Poly or JC. JC was branded as the route to Uni while Poly was the happening route, ITE was the least choice as it was termed as Its The End. As we move along this planned route, it somehow or rather stiffles our creativity and making us afraid to take the out of the norm route.

Sometimes it makes me wonder.. what if i didnt do well in Primary school and got to EM3, then flung PSLE and get to Normal Tech, naturally get into ITE? Start to go out and chiong, mixing with ah bengs and ah lian, picked up smoking. Will i be where i am right now? Or will i be better off?

I have seen cases of pple who couldnt do as well in school but shone bright right now. guess taking the "correct" path may not lead you to the best place or land u in the best spot.
