The past few weeks had been one hell of a rollercoaster ride for me. It was filled with a lot of drama and issues and controversies that you can imagine and it was truly draining and scary. See, putting your entire future on the line because of a single mistake is really frustrating. It feels so unfair but everything has been said and done and I cannot change anything about it even if I wanted to. I guess all I have to do was face it and keep my hopes up that everything will end in a positive note despite everything.

Having said all of this, I came across a very inspiring quote said by American designer Diane Von Furstenburg. She says, “I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I always knew the woman I wanted to be.” This one really hit me hard on the head. Yes, I want to have a great and striving future for me and my entire family. I don't want to disappoint anybody especially everyone that I care and love but I don't want to be successful if I have a baggage inside me.


Definitely, I am not perfect. No one is. But what I am saying is that if I am to be successful and hopefully become a CPA, I don't want to look back and find something that I would be not proud of. I don't like to look back and realize that I've stepped on so many people just to get to the top because in the end, power or success doesn't matter if you're alone or if you're surrounded by people who secretly hates you.

So, as a conclusion, I guess it is safe to say that attitude is the most important thing and it is the only key that you have for success. It is about knowing when to fight and when to back down. And about the kind of woman that I want to be? Well, I want to be one who has a heart that can feel compassion and empathy and a strong mind that knows the difference between wrong and right. Hopefully, with this new philosophy of mine, I'll be able to strive and have a good life.

And I hope that you do to.
