All that I have



This is all I have, though this gift is small, it doesn't mean that it's not good. Whoever says that being a lawyer or a doctor is the only way of living well? At the end of the day, will it make you happy working in something you don't like? Most parents would tell their kids that when they grow up, they should become a doctor or a lawyer or a professor, how many would encourage their children to be an artist, a musician, a game designer or even a photographer? Does money or working in white collar companies equate to happiness?

Living in a world that is so stereotyped in what is good or not, we often committed the same mistake of following our peers or people in doing things that we THINK is good and forgo things that we love to do. The way that an object is designed determines it's destiny. The stripes, design of it's claws and teeth on the tiger means that it's destined to be a predator. The wings on an eagle shows that it's destined to fly high and mightily in the sky, and it would be funny to see it instead of flying, it's pecking corns all day with the chickens.


Similarly, the way that we're "designed", the talents that we have and what we really like to do, determines our destiny. What are you created for? Don't know? Then ask the one above. Everyone has something that they're good at, and there's no exception. All it takes is a leap of faith.
