Walking down the memory lane makes me remember so many things that I did as a girl, then as a teenager. One thing that I love most is remembering my entrepreneurship aptitude that I have since I was a little girl. I still remember as a primary school student, I used to collect mangoes and make mangoes pickles and sell it to my friends and even to my teachers at SRK Petagas! Then as I move on to my secondary year, I started selling 'nasi lemak' and curry puff to my friends and other students. But after my Co-op teacher found out about it I was warned not to continue selling as it interfere with the school Co-op sells! What a challenge I caused even as an ordinary school girl then. After that, I didn't straight away stop my love of trading, so I signed up myself with the Avon company, and now I became a cosmetic sales girl! Hahaha...not really a sales girl, but a business girl, yes, that's it, an aspiring business Girl!
Now as a teacher, I share my stories with my students, though it doesn't seems much, but I want them to know that life can be wonderful and adventurous in a very positive way. I still have fun and at the same time busy counting my fortune even when I was just a school girl, as I know my time was not wasted doing something stupid, rather I used them in a very constructive way. Thus I really hope that my students will have something to ponder upon when I told them my stories. There is nothing to brag about, it's just something ordinary that every ordinary people can do. They don't have to do something extra-ordinary to get what they really want in life, simply being an ordinary teenagers, a bit of curiosity, a blend of guts and of course faith, whatever they want is not that difficult to reach. As long as they have dream and make their dream as their guide for success, anybody will definitely be able to find success in their own right!
Well, whatever it is, it goes back to the teenagers to really decide what they want in life. Though we honestly meant well for whatever we did or said as an adult, most of the time it was misunderstood by them. I honestly hope that they can see from the deepest of their heart that I or any other adults meant well for them, cos we also have been there before, being teenagers and have lots of confusion, so we know how it was. Thankfully we manage to go through all those insecurity in life and here we are today. May be not as successful or glamorous as we want to be, but I honestly feel glad and grateful for what I have now! I might not be a millionaire, but my heart is full with billionaires hope for all my budding students, hoping that all of them where ever they might be, will find success and happiness in finding themselves. With that I wish us all happiness and found whatever we look for in Life.
