of being 26 and accomplishments

Hmm, today I feel a bit moody. I don't know why. When I was driving home today, I was thinking about what I've accomplished in my 26 years of existence. I was reflecting. I was thinking. I was reminiscing. I was not satisfied.

Maybe I'm going through what every 26 years old guys are going through. If 26 is one of many check-points in life, mine would be clear and probably zilch. I know I'm good but I'm not satisfied at just being good. I can do so much more... but how much more only would I then feel that I've accomplished something? This is what my family is concerned of; my never ending drive to succeed - the rat race.

Sigh... but one thing for sure: I'll never lose sight of my family and friends.

You may need to understand that sometimes.. Imperfection is a happiness.. Why do I say so? Bcos you bring yourself down.. You make sure that simplicity is always with you.. Even when you have expectations.. It may be easier to adapt by yourself..

Everytime I think back what I have done in these 27 years.. I told myself.. "Oh! Such a failure.." I'm still an ordinary guy working 9-6 in a bank handling complaints eating gym-ing dancing party-ing spending time with friends and family.. What else that I have succeeded???..

But.. To me.. The BIGGER question is.. "What else do I need besides than what I have just mentioned above?.."

Hope you get what I mean.. If not, let's chat! Haha! =)

Got it. Probably I'll try to maintain both sides. "What I've accomplished?" and "What I still need?". ;). It's hard to let go of the former because it's innate trait in me. haha.

Human nature is such that we are always never satisfied with what we have. Sometimes we need to break out of that cycle by looking around us.

I like to tell my friends, "Don't always look at the higher end of the spectrum and being envious of what others have and we don't. Take a look at the lower end and be grateful for what we have that others don't."

Cheer up! XD
