Ambition

It may well be too late for some people to talk about ambitions like at somewhere near the start of adulthood, and I seek to differ. Nothing's too late or neither is anything too early.

We the citizens of Singapore, not to pledge but we have to, at this point find ourselves railroaded since the age of 5 when you entered nursery classes. The entire problem was, I started things late and still thought it is late, instead of going anyway. So nothing was done. I know situations are changing ever since my parents' years, but I just find myself somehow a victim of the policies here. If I were to start off everything by studying music, I may be somebody perhaps at a famous land or two. One thing to note, I may not be, however. I shall now plan to proof my thoughts wrong by becoming rich. And to become rich, I have to work hard, said Daddy.

Ambitions? definitely. I want to own the largest malls and hotels in the world, by age 50. A somebody in somewhere, and not necessarily here.

And a final note: being famous or rich, or both, isn't everything. Winning is. Winning means achieving targets set by yourself for yourself. "If winning isn't everything, why do people keep scores?"
