Desire vs decision

This was the title for one of my good friends' blog. He was stuck between his desire and what he had to decide for the sake of his family.

His desire was to continue his tertiary education straight away after spm but with the twist of fate, he was out of luck because he failed to get matriculation scholarship. Dissappointed as he was, he knew there was no choice but to go private college or to back to form 6. Of course , it would be a whole lot expensive if he wanted to choose the first option. His father as a contractor willing to support the pocket-burning tuition fees, but he knew if he let his father to do so, his younger sister would take the toll. To pay for his fees, for sure will sacrifice his sister's education fund. He was in guilt. On one hand, he despised form 6 but on the other hand he was not selfish enough to be the burden of the family. Struggling with his desire and what the honourable thing to do, he was in dilemma. I could sense that..

His dad perhaps too could detect that his passion was not at form 6 tat all. His dad suggested monash university for him as he wanted to take chemical engineering. Even though he knew this was exactly what he desired for, he could not just accept it. He turned it down. Instead, he pretended with the wound in his heart, that he loved to return to form 6.

For his family's sake, this young guy willing to sacrifice his dream and desire. He had made a decision that the reality was form 6 was the better path for his family. Compared to him, my worry of being apart from my family was totally insignificant. He had made a noble decision. Desire vs decision? Dream vs reality. Desire and dream were totally lose the battle in the reality of his decision. But, I knew.. he would not grieve over it. He had been a strong guy. He had become a man.. a trully gentleman. Go for it! Study form 6 with all your heart! i know you can do it! Add oil o^^
