Part 2: Questions

I have always wondered if i was doing the right thing, the right course, persuing the right vissions. A light bulb flashed in the september vacation that opened my eyes to put my mind at ease about these daunting questions.
The question, "am i doing the right thing", is a tough one. Sometimes the right thing does not always seem to be the best thing or decision. There are many philosophical terms stating that the right thing to do is to be truthfull, brutely honest and be a moral person. Well, newsflash, no-one can be moral. we all lie, cushion the truth and pretend to be all moral and kind but turn a 180 when that person turns his or her back. My advise, be truthfull to the extent that it would not unneccesarily harn the ones you care about, but a little white lie here and there sometimes protects the ones you hold most dear. A lie os not the opposite of the truth, just a fictional updated version.
The question, "am i doing the right course", well this seems to be an easy answer at face value, but is a huge factor to continually adress to ensure that you are content with your future and what it probably would entail. Many a student nowadays are into the BComm faculty, not because of the love of the economy and cash-books, no, its all about the money. I come from an extremely poor extended family background, and being in a middle-classed home, i had access to more than my other family members. When they heard that i am leaving home to persue my tertiary studies, a whole lot of disturbing questions came up. Questions such as, why dont you study accounting, or medicine, or I.T. as a matter of fact. Everything revolved around money.Many of you would be able to relate to these questions and attitudes. I stood firm in my following my passion in performing arts, yes, a lousy, underated, futureless BA degree. I say, follow your passions with all your might. Dont let anyone, even your parents have a say in what you want to do. they will die, as all parents do, its a sad fact. But what would be even more sad is if you have to carry on living in a 'shitty' job which you hate and have absolutely no interest in. Wheres your parents now. Live for yourself first, you cannot please everyone, but always remeber, you and only you can live your life, shouldn't you be in charge!
So the previous statement pretty much covers the issue of persuing your own vissions. I have learnt this past september vacation, life is an adventure, but what makes it worthwhile is the journey, not a specific destination. Life is hard as a young man in a forrein town on my own, having to navigate my ship clear of stormy waters, but no-one said that life was easy. As the son goes, "there will be an answer, just let it be". Life gets interesting when you dare to dream, just power through all the speed humps as you make your way DOWN LIFE LANE...
