Missed Opportunities

Do you ever think about those missed opportunities you have had? Do you sometimes have regrets and wish you could go back? Whether it's a lost chance with someone you crushed on or even an assignment that you thought you could have done better only if you worked a bit harder; there is always the question that pops up - What if?

What if I asked him/her out? What if I put more effort and managed my time better?

I don't know who exactly reads my blog, but if you have the time to sit here and read this message, I am sure you have the time to change this attitude. Stop fretting, stop regretting - it's really the past and the sad truth is that we can never go back. It's true, it sucks. At times, I do encounter regrets. What keeps me going though, is the fact that I can look back at those mistakes and think what I can do differently. I sometimes do get angry at myself actually. I need that constant motivation, that push, that drive. But just know, you're not alone.

Just know that ultimately, you are in control of what you want to see in yourself. God has a purpose for you and you have already acquired the greatest opportunity - your life. You still have all the time in your LIFE to make anything you want worthwhile and meaningful.

No doubts, no regrets, and most importantly, get excited :)

Family

No matter what, they won't change.

I'm thankful for that.

Constructive Criticism at its Best.

Today, let's set a goal.

God created us for a reason. 

And for that reason, let's take on a challenge.

For whatever commitment you are in, whether it is your job, your school work, your extra-curriculars, your responsibilities, anything. Whatever you are a part of, give it your all. 

Today, let's make a choice. If I choose to commit to something, I will give it my 110%. I want to be responsible, reliable, and hardworking. 

I received some constructive criticism recently. I reflected on things I'm involved in, and I feel like for each commitment I had, I was not giving my complete efforts. If only I spent two more minutes, the end result may have been different. This is why I'm motivated now. I want to look back and tell myself that I worked my butt off for this. No more laziness, no more procrastination. I will step outside my comfort zone. Will you join me?

Come on, We got this :)

A New Year!

Hello 2013! It seems like I have fallen under the trap of laziness and have stopped blogging for a while. Well, with a new year, this is going to be my new goal: to blog at least weekly.

Right now, as a second year business student, I'm kind of stuck between what I want to do in the future and what I would think would be most practical. Sometimes, I question my choice as a business student. Is this what I want to do? Do I want to immerse myself in this competitive world? How is it possible to help others? How am I going to make a difference?

During the winter break, I went to a winter conference and the keynote speaker was sharing his experiences in the world of business and God. The words that stuck with me were these:

"I used to think I was a businessman who is a Christian. But instead, I would like to consider myself as a Christian who happens to be doing business."

He's right. All this time, I've been thinking of how I can apply my Christian beliefs to business, when in actuality, I am living as a Christian who faces business. No doubt this is going to be difficult. There will be times when the easy way out is to prioritize a bunch of things like work or school over my faith. But what's giving me that push to be different is simple:  I just want to be. I really believe our God can give us the most positive motivation and we don't need other things like wealth or popularity to tell us otherwise. I'm excited to see what's ahead of me and to see how God will use me to show his love, his grace, and his peace to the people in the business world.

I mean, us business kids......we always seem too busy and stressed :p
