Today at the job interview, the manager asked some crunching questions that brought me new realisations that I've never really pondered; absurd, given my nature of being very godlike in the skill of pondering to the point that it becomes day-dreams...
Questions like, "Would you commit to our company once you have graduated from your uni?" "Our job here is different from the course that you are taking, so in the future i suspose you are furthering your career in the degree you are studying?" "Would you make a career switch to this industry in the future?"
The future... Suddenly i remembered the future that i plotted out; it happened on the day when i received my O'level cert in 2005 and saw my points for the exam.. Single digit, 9 points, a score beyond my wildest dreams.. I was so happy that night I sort of planned out how my future would be like by 2009.. I shaped it the way i wanted, then thought about the ways of getting there..
That dream was totally crushed within 3 years, and the next 2 years was nothing but a living hell physically, but more of mentally.. As I walked out after the interview (damn didnt get that job 'cos i wasnt 21 YET, must be by the minute and not by the year zzzz) I felt the familiar sense of emptiness making its return after almost 2 years.. It was as if I'm a shell, with nothing inside.. Nothing to expect, nothing to achieve, nothing to aim, nothing to gain...
I guessed I've reached a point that cannot be described as negativity; it's now pure staring at the cold hard fact that I'm facing now everyday.. I dont know how much more disappointment i can withstand, especially after the big Dream crashing down in front of me.. The eagerness to avoid disappointments always end up fueling more instead.. If they say success and achievement are the product from multiple failures and disappointments, then i will just simply state the economic law that i remembered from JC1 Economics: the law of diminishing marginal returns...
Anyway i came across an interesting passage from a book i've read recently.. It just wrote, "Negativity is a part of human nature; simply proven by the fact that everyone pays attention to any plane crashes or accidents or any bad news, but no one asks about 14,389 planes landing safely in airports worldwide."
Crude humour, huh? zzzz...
