Words of Wisdom

My Dad told me something important today...He got a job offer for me at some high class retail shop...Nice pay..Problem is...I am not interested at all.

Well...I was pretty hesitant on taking that offer...I wanted to take a break in my holidays...and besides...I've got Poly Forum which I don't even know when.

I can say that my expression just now would have totally shooed my Dad off my back...BUT, He was patient enough to convince me, which weren't really convincing.

However, he told me something that I've forgotten ever since I got busy.

"Don't confine yourself in a circle. Explore!
Get out of that small fish tank, take on the river, then the sea.
The Sky is your limit." - Dad

Basically he said that all in Chinese and I just summarised it so it's somewhere along that line. Oh he didn't say the Sky part, I just thought that it would fit in.

I love Philosophy myself and I thought that it was really a great lesson to be learned. I am proud to have a him as a Dad and this ain't no corny stuff, if you even know what I mean.

If I recall correctly, I remembered telling saying like this to Greg today too, He wasn't as receptive though. Looks like I have to practise what I preach.

Seems like I might wanna go take on the river after all, anyone interested?*

Thanks Dad.
