"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to the community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning." (Taken from "tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom)
When I read the above, it sends a very strong reminder to me ... "hey, I need to get down to my dreams". I need to focus. I am focused on work but NOT on my dreams. This explains why I used "The tension of opposites" as the title of this article. This term is taken from the same book "tuesdays with Morrie". It says "Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do something, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted."
I am happy that my sis can finally pursue her long-awaited plan to be a full-time insurance agent. I believe my sis will be a responsible agent with empathy for others, not just merely interested in closing deals. Sis, not many people can get to do what they hope to do. Given this opportunity, give it your best shot! Many people will be cheering you along the way, including our beloved Dad.
