Life's uncertainties

"Where do you see yourself in 10 years?"

That is a common question asked in an interview. Ask any business student, he may say something along the lines of "starting my own company" to "working in a big firm".

Ask any medical student in Malaysia, you may not get any answer. Why is that so? I guess it is because the future is really uncertain for us, with the incoming "storm"

The future for me is even more uncertain. I do not know exactly where I am going to be 1 year later, what more 10 years later. I may be anywhere within a few kilometers from my current home, to thousands of kilometers from my current home. I may be in my current timezone, to a totally opposite timezone.

And with these uncertainties, comes fear. Fear of the unknown is indeed one of the commonest fear we have. We fear a new working environment, we fear when opening our exam results, and also we fear the midnight tap at our room door when nobody was supposed to be home.

Fear is what keeps us in our comfort bubble.

But along with fear, comes excitement.

And with excitement, comes life.

A question that I have been pondering for quite a while, that I want to leave you with : If you know that you have to write a book about yourself at the end of your life, your autobiography, will there be any changes you would make to your current life plan?
