I didn't realize that my earlier "Because I Couldn't Sleep, I Decided To Write" post would receive such positive responses. Thank you so much, readers! I am glad if what I share can inspire or motivate you even in the slightest amount.
Please never think that being "lucky" plays a significant role in life. I don't believe so. It's hard work, determination, passion and being kind to others that make a good life and bring us more goodness in return. Many people often compensate on one's success by saying "...because he was lucky enough to get xxx whereas I didn't". Everyone is put in different difficult situations by Allah and it's a matter of how much we fight and have the will to turn things around. I am forever grateful to have my dad being able to fully financially support my education. But soon as I started working, I was independent. I paid my own bills. And I managed to save a portion of my salary each and every month for 2,5 years until I finally decided that my savings was enough to start my own business. So I took that risk of either succeed, or fail and be totally broke that I'll have to go back work in the office again. But the trick is to have the mindset of not failing. My dear friend Tanjung whom I met at the IYCE competition is a really really really inspiring person. She is proof of how success can be accomplished by fighting and working hard...:)
