Is this really what we want?


the conversation went something like this...
"go become VP Finance, i work under you"
"but i don't like to deal with money"
"err..then why are you in this course?"

good question.

in the very first place, i actually convinced myself into doing accounting and finance, neither because i love auditing financial statements nor keeping track of the stock market. i took such a long time before deciding taking this course. i kept thinking we only get to live once and this is it. whatever you choose, you'll have to live with it the rest of your life. one of the reasons that paved my way into this course actually came from what i fantasise about. i have this voice inside that tells me, i can become an accountant/work in a bank/whatever with my professional qualifications, and at the same time, still live my dreams. i dream of this one day when i can actually set up a charity that helps to somehow spread the joy we have to those who are less fortunate, so we can all be happy together. what's the point of being so super successful and all when you look out of the window to see that there are people around you who could have been better off  if you're willing to offer that little bit of help. it's so weird, i'm choosing accounting and finance only because i believe i can still have the time to go after what i really want to see myself doing in life. not because i love accounts. is this right?

coming back to reality, nobody knows what's gonna happen in the future... we'll just really need to have faith in ourselves and believe in what we want to do.

if auditing doesnt help you, SIFE will. Or I'll make sure hui yii's company will invest in charitable projects in future for our CSR :D

don't worry about it too much :)

take time as it comes and believe me you'll know what to do because you already do. you just don't know it yet ;)
