Daring to dream BIG
To me, I always think that one is important to have a dream in order to live a good life. For me, I would say that I have different dreams in each sector of my life. Or maybe due to different circumstances,I tend to dream differently. I can't be wrong right?I mean, at my age of 20, isn't it normal for me to have multiple dreams ? But sadly to say that, I failed to even be on the track to achieve any of them.
Till then I met boyfriend,on one of our monthsary, we decided to buy a pet as a monthsary present for both of us. For me, I actually do not have the privilege to own a pet at home and hence I have really poor knowledge of pets. To me,I only manage to know the different type of pets which are dogs, cats, hamsters,rabbits etc etc. Beside that, I completely have no idea of the different breeds, what do they even do etc etc. but on the other hand, boyfriend came from a family whereby his parents allows him to keep pets. Before knowing me, they have actually keep rabbits, hamster,birds as their pets before.
Back to topic, we decided to get our a hamster after our discussion. But on the day when we decide to buy our pet, boyfriend told me that he came across another kind of small animal-guinea pig the previous night. Initially, many questions popped out into my head,question like what are guinea pigs,who are they, are they really pigs?
And so, boyfriend brought me home to research on them. Later then I found out that guinea pigs are not pigs, they are very much larger than hamsters but smaller than rabbits, they are herbivores etc etc. After much research, both of us think that since it is slightly more than our budget, but guinea pig will be a better choice since we are able to bring it our to play and it is far better than having a hamster. And so, we bought one ourselves to take care of it. Yes, that was the kick start of our big dream. After many months, we got our more guinea pigs and even started a small business over the internet, selling off our baby guinea pigs. Boyfriend told me about about his plans of starting a pet business in the future. When I heard of it for the first time, I did not take his word for real. But after hearing him for the second time, I knew he was serious for that.
We didn't managed to think further about it as we were both schooling. Not until somethings happened during the past few months, to be exact something which had happened that make me think of my future. I realized something that was missing in my life. Yes, I would say I am in the cross path of my life. Life was confusing at that time. I wasn't even sure of why do I even took up a course that was not of my interest. And yet, I am even sure that I will not be working on this line even after I graduate.
When you know life is confusing and you are not happy about it. You know what you want to do-get yourself out.Make a change.Do Something.Get Somewhere Else.Your life is filled with the purpose of trying to figure out how to get yourself from Point A(where you have completely no interest of it) to Point B(Where you are completely sure you want things to be this way)
The dangerous part is "I have to do something to get to point B"
I thought of it myself for the longest time, discussed it with boyfriend and then talked to my parents about it. I can feel the passion burning in me and I know things will only be done if I start it. I am even afraid that this would be one of the dreams I have in the past- able to dream but yet no actions to get it done. Or maybe I have to thank boyfriend for the courage he gave me. I decided to get something done this time. So, I discussed with my parents about all our plans. Their reactions wasn't as big as I expected and it didn't turn out bad too. Mum wasn't disappointed but supportive of me because she knows that I have grown up after hearing me talk.My dad is a realistic person, he all along thinks that having a good education is important but yet did not disapprove of our plans, he even called us to come out of a proposal first. Yes, we are half way to achieve our dreams together. but somehow , i felt something was missing in between. Not until on our first ever discussion, I found out that I am lack of knowing business. and sadly to say, I don't have a single idea how to manage a business,what to look out, accounting, marketing more and more. I felt that this is not working because it will be really unfair if I am depending on boyfriend on the business. It is OUR DREAM.I am part of it so the more I should be helping out with him.
So,after discussion with boyfriend, I decided to take up a private course to learn about business and it will be starting this coming August. It will at most take me half a year to get my diploma. Well, some of my friends felt that it was a waste for me to quit on my last year before graduation in polytechnic. But somehow, I don't think it is a waste. I felt that it will really be a waste if I really carry on. It wasn't a waste because I do manage to learn something within these two years in poly too.Some of the people out there do not even use the certificates on what they are specialized in to get a job too. And at least I found out before wasting another year in poly isn't it?
I am really glad, I am actually doing something towards our dream. and I really have to thank boyfriend for giving me the support and courage to do so too. (;
