no regrets.

During your lifetime, you hear about people telling you to chase after your dreams, and don't give up. For some people, their dreams came true and lived happiliy ever after. For others, they sleep and dream another dream to chase.

Now that my little sister is graduating, I remember when graduation was approaching for me in 1999, when everyone had jobs lining up and I had one school accepted me. I also applied for a volunteering program in Thailand to do something I truely wanted - going to thailand =P. Going to law school, or let me rephrase it, being a lawyer was not one of my lifelong dream profession. I had a dream, though, that I could do anything. I wanted to be everything. My mom knew me and convinced me to go to law school, and I listened and applied. Just one regret - retake my lsats to get a better score, studied harder for better grades. But you know what, you make the best out of what you have and keep pursuing - finish law school and pass the bar. And I did. Once you reached your goal, nothing else in the past mattered - all your failures lead to your ultimate accomplishment but then you realize that it doesnt stop there. There is neverending pursuits and you know the ultimate mission is the pursuit of happiness.

Use your past failures as learning experiences to continuously improve . My biggest strength is my ability to get knocked down and come back stronger every time. One of the things that I have to thank is all those who looked past me and doubted me because of them, I am who i am today - just a little stronger.
