This comes across my mind.

Life is short but a lot of us cannot make it to the fullest due to this and that.

Parents always the one who stopped us from choosing, they will always help us choose our path that they think is good for us but will we be happy with the path they choose? I believe more than 50% of us won’t be happy. I can say, I’m not happy.

Example :

During Primary 6, we were requested to choose at least 6 choices of secondary school we wish to get into. As usual, we will discuss with a group of close friends and choose the same school, hoping all of us can get into the same school. But in the end, my parents stopped to me from choosing Neigbourhood School. So in the end, I have to choose school that none of my friends chosen.

These also cause a deep impact for my future. End up, due to the school standard, I can only get into normal tech level which I am unable to study for “O” level which is why I ended up with an “N” level cert now.

If they never stopped me, I’m sure now I’m at least holding a Diploma holder or maybe I had Degree or higher.

So at times, I’m wondering, why must we get stopped by parents, family, friends or others? Why can’t we do thing we want, choose our own path and choose our own partner? Well, I know this call “life”.

To me, life is short. I hope, I have no regrets when I’m gone. I just want to be happy. Do thing I want. But most importantly, do thing we want is good but not to harm others or do bad thing.
