are you tired?

IN the canteen at my base, there's this young man (but older than me) who handled the Zhu3 Chao3 stall... He is a malaysian (from Sarawak) and would always change from his shirt and shorts into a formal attire after his work..seems to be aheading somewhere else for more stuff/work. Still, guess everyone would see him as just another malaysian worker?

But today, while i was walking to the MRT station, i ran into him (he was in the same direction) and we pick up a chat (quite a friendly guy). As i learnt that he's still proceeding to boon lay for some more matters everyday (despite that he had worked for hte entire day) , i asked him:

"arent you is tired"?

"tired? with a aim you will never get tired."

This sentence left me with a deep impression immediately.

Then he added
"many people live a day and plan a day, but never gets far. But if you plan far and aim for it, you will get very far in your life"

he is indeed very motivated and driven.

And as we chatted on, i realised that he is not just a simple worker. He is full of knowledge and ideas. He had attended talks and had learnt from people regarding their experiences in business... And he's very observant too, certainly. Seems like the type who would venture into business eventually...

His level of sense could even be better than some of the people i know in my office.

Really doesnt sound like what would have come out from the mouth of the person who works in our canteen, to my surprise.

Then he shared with me that at this talk by a Taiwanese businessman, he said
"A person might not suceed with talents, but he will if he believes in his dreams" (with will power too)

So true..

So right when i'm at the time of still deciding on my future...

Anyway, his Zhu3 Chao3 wasnt tasty.. full of MSG always.. but i guess it's ok, 'cos i doubt cooking in the canteen would be his main thing... he is certainly capable of much more...

Hmm...

Wonder how would he be, say 5 years later? Surely would have gotten much more further than now.
