Do you believe in destiny? I do and I can only speak for myself. I never really planned my future. I am the type who deals with life as it comes – laugh when it’s okay and cries when it’s not. I came from a middle class family. In terms of inheritance both my parents have substantial land properties. These did not necessarily provide sufficient cash flow. We siblings were told by our parents to study hard and get a degree to land a good job. I have to confess though that I did not get through where I am now in a conventional 'student' way. There were so many ups and downs in my personal and career life. I lost my first relationship and I was in a different career. Regardless I dealt with my life with gusto and fun as it happens. Never surrendered and get depressed for long because I could not afford to. Then one day whilst working for a recruitment company, it suddenly occurred to me, why not become a nurse and avail these recruitment career opportunities abroad instead. At that time my boss told me, “are you mad, you have a lucrative job,” my mother advised me, “you are too old to study again, and”my cousin commented you have fear of germs, you’ll never make it.” The rest is history. You may argue I chose to be a nurse despite of discouragement. I remain to believe that it was a predestined choice as my awareness to do it unfolded at that precise point in my life. By the way a caption underneath my high school graduation album reads, “I want to become a nurse.” I deviated too long from becoming one (I was 33 years old when I started) but then in the end I chose to be a nurse. Do you have a long list of plans for your future? May I suggest whatever you have in mind, do not forget to enjoy life...it is too short and you never know what’s around the corner? Remember this message is for you with a touch of love. Until next time...be well.
