Get serious.
A few years ago, when I just left the agency I was at, and was then just starting to help out my dad in his business in machinery trading, I went for a pre-degree programme interview at a pretegious university in the London. No, I didn’t go to London (have never been there), but a representative was here. When she asked me what I was currently doing, I told her about my plans to help out my dad until I get the course that I wanted to do. Her reply was simple yet profound. But being the young punk that I was, I shrugged her reactions off, thinking that no way she could understand the Asian culture that I was brought up in. But this year, I’m beginning to understand what she meant. I guess it takes a certain number of years of maturity to come to face the statement. She said…
