Do What You Gotta Do

Today I got a gift.

It's from Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia (ICAA) and the gift is Taxation Module.

Nice.

So, I haven't mentioned in this blog about my real actions towards achieving 2010 goals. In fact, this is one of them. Undertaking a professional course so that I can be qualified even to become a top quality accountant.

Very exciting, isn't it?

If you asked me last year whether being a highly-qualified accountant is my ultimate goal, I would say probably (yes).

But now, I can darely say I have a much bigger goal than that. I really want to share with you guys, but I'm a bit superstitious so I might want to keep it for myself for a while until I've done something (or I've got some achievements).

Still, right now I need to do what's in front of me, which is that bulky file that must be learned through the next 5 months. Great, sometimes I just love going back to school, yet I often get stressed in the middle of the semester (typical, isn't it?).

Apart from getting my mind ready to get more pressure this year, I'm also planning to open my heart bigger than ever (hopefully). It means that in 2010, I would like to learn being more 'human' by accepting that everyone is unique and always makes mistakes. Noone is greater than the other, so I should be more respectful and not underestimate people whom I'll meet. Fingers crossed and mind sticked to my goal, I believe myself that I can do it.

Just like Ajahn Brahm has given his 'Mega Metta' (big love)

And have you ever seen sunrise? When the sun starts rising and sky's slowly turning brighter? I can tell you that nothing is more beautiful than the nature itself.

On the 1st January 2010, 5 o'clock in the morning, together with some friends, I went to Opera House to look for the first sunrise in 2010.

Just simply stare the sky and you'll find the beauty of the beauty

 This rising sun, in fact, does have something to do with me. As I never stop thinking, I thought at that time, that every of your dreams will have its way for you to be walked through. As the saying goes, 'Every cloud has its silver lining', so there's nothing in this world that you can't make it happened.

Follow your dreams and do what you gotta do.
