The One Where He Chose not to Give Up.
How many of you are working hard… but for someone else’s dream?
We study, get top grades, land prestigious jobs—and there’s nothing wrong with that. But where’s your dream in all of it?
I had it all planned: BBA, MBA, CPA, Big 4. By 22, I’d done it. On paper, I was successful. But I felt like a robot. Life was happening outside, and I was stuck behind a desk.
So I went back to my first love: writing. During lunch breaks, traffic, anytime I needed to express myself. People mocked me. I didn’t care.
Now? I’ve published my first book, and I’m building an e-solution to help others. My purpose isn’t just numbers and reports—it’s supporting people, giving them hope, showing them they are not alone.
The path isn’t easy. You’ll doubt yourself. But follow what makes your soul come alive, not society.
It’s okay if your “happy place” turns out not to be it. Keep searching, keep creating, and make your dream yours.
