How I decide to go for the Real Estate license

Two days ago, I was having a conversation with Ray and he told me that the Real Estate license can earn me passive income. I never know that. All along, I just thought its a passport to open an agency firm. How wrong was I.

There and then, I decided to pursue for the license which involves 2 years of written exam (assuming I pass both years in a seating) and another 2 years of logbook keeping. I never considered going for the license but if I knew about the passive income, I would have studied for the exam last year. Fortunately, I can still make it for this year's exam in July but it's going to take some effort catching up with the studies these two months.

Information is such priceless commodity. How information can affect and change our lives is unimaginable. While we set goals to go forward, sometimes it is really like what Steve Jobs said about connecting the dots. He said that we can't connect the dots looking forward; we can only connect them backwards. So, we just have to trust the dots will somehow connect in our future.

I really cannot see the path I am walking but I truly believe it leads me to a bright future, leaving a trail for others to follow. I am excited, positive and hopeful. This feeling alone is such a bliss.

Conscious Mishap

Despite trying so hard to do what that is right, today I committed the biggest sin ever in my life. Well, it was not like I could not avoid it. I know with all consciousness that what I was going to do is wrong and I still put myself in a compromising situation and did the wrong thing. It was like seeing the traffic lights turned red in front of me and yet I refuse to slow down my car. As I get nearer to the traffic light, I knew that I could still break in time but I chose not to stop.

Now, I might or might not get caught for breaking the red light and the consequences will most likely be insignificant. However, I am a firm believer that we reap what we sow. What goes around comes around. Even if I get away with the sin committed today and most likely I would, what that is wrong is still wrong. I truly regretted it the moment I did it and still regretting it.

Sigh...this entry is to remind myself that its not worth doing the wrong things...
