dreams, responsibilities….

we always have to juggle between what we want to do, and what we have been asked to do..

what we want to do could be termed as a dream, and what we have been asked to do could be deemed a responsibility..

i have always dreamed about what i wanted to do, and pursued my dreams, but at this stage of life, i am not so sure i could continue on this path, to carry on dreaming.. well, i am sure many people would jump at me readily, give me a slap, and tell me it’s about fucking time u realised the reality in life..

but i have steve jobs on my side? in his book on the innovation secrets of steve jobs, he encourages people to keep dreaming! and i have a billionaire encounter, i meant an encounter with a self-made billionaire from scratch, and he told young people to keep on dreaming, and to start young and follow all your heart, dreams.. the last i know, he has 800million liquid assets.. bloody hell.. that’s 8 zeros!

here’s another steve job’s quote; passion won’t guarantee that you would not fail, but passion would make sure that no failure would ever stop you!

ok, that’s the dream part, what are the responsibilities that i have to juggle with?

there’s a chinese saying, 百善孝为先， meaning, the biggest kindness is to be fillial.. and that’s why, kindness has no boundaries and needs no money, even the poorest can be the most kind..

ok, back to 百善孝为先, my dad wants me to settle down so badly, that it is becoming like a tape recorder repeating it’s mantra of me finding a wife and settling down, and with it comes responsibilities.. i suppose with that, one has to sacrifice a lot of dreams..

maybe i should get a dreamer, as a partner.. ha!

what a crude joke..

i am searching for a breakthrough on this conundrum..
