What if?

What is your biggest regret in life?

I can be wise and say "what happened in the past is what made me who I am today, so I have no regrets".

But then I ask myself again I dig deep, what is your biggest regret in life? There must be something.  Is it wrong to regret something has happened? My biggest regret must be running away when I were in the entrance test of junior high school back then. I wanted to go to SMPK2 BPK Penabur, one of the top junior high school in town. I literally ran away because the test was too hard and I already got accepted at the other school.

What if I stayed? What if I got in to there? Then continue on to SMAK 1? I probably at NUS now, or NTU, or maybe Universitas Indonesia? Rather being here at MDIS, which people hardly know.

What if I endured a little longer? Things will be different now.

I wanted to be a doctor, but am studying finance and accounting right here right now. What if I have a little more courage to pursue my dream?

What if?   What if?   What if?

Those two words combined together can have the power to haunt you for life. But I'm not here to haunt you with the past, with the things you haven't done or you shouldn't do. I believe every people have their own regrets. But it never is too late, my friend :)

Back to reality, things have happened and I can't go back to the past and change it. It is what it is now. All I can do is learn from my mistakes and move on. When you want to make decision, listen to the soft voice of your heart. It knows what is the best for you. If you have dreams, then have the courage to pursue it. It is hard, but endure a little longer! Then your dream will eventually come to pass. If you have someone you love, have the courage to seize it. Well, it is easier said than done, I know. I myself also trying. Sometimes we just need a little courage, a little motivation, a little voice that say "go, go!". In the next 5 years you might regret of something you do not do rather than something you did.

Do not run away like I did.
