It was my father’s death anniversary two days ago. Time really flies. It’s been a year already.

Sometimes, when I feel like giving up in the course of my studies and challenges in life, I would tell myself that I MUST push on, do well and succeed. If not for myself, then for my father. I would tell myself that I have to let him be proud of me, wherever he may be now. That I must do well to show people who knew him, as well as some of his ingrateful siblings that he did a good job in bringing me up.

I would also tell myself something that I learnt from Bob Parsons, CEO of Godaddy.com – “If it doesn’t work, they can’t eat you up!”. It simply means that we should try our best no matter whether it will eventually work out. Because if it doesn’t, we won’t lose much – nobody can eat us up because we failed. Most often, the only things we can lose in failed endeavours are just time and money – which is not too bad really.

I do hope I can make my father proud of me in my coming exams.
