I wish someone had told me this. A long time before now.

I was sitting around in borders when i stumbled upon this book. It didn't really have a catchy name and it was alike the books surrounding it. The same boring covers with dollars signs on it, same boring finance references.

Somewhere among those boring books, lay another seemingly similar boring book that was somehow different, in the way it called out to my wandering fingers whom embraced it with indifference, lifting the material to its owner's eyes to be perused. The first few pages had words on the author's life. Of how he made a big profit from a business to falling victim to bankrupty and rising from the ashes to earn a million a year now. (Inner clockworks: this is actually kinda interesting...)

Now, the part of the book that had the most impact on me lay on the page behind, advice on how to choose and grow a business.

1. Choose something that you love.

I know of people whom have chosen business in industries that they hate but would make them a lot of money. That is plausible. However, if you choose a business that you hate, you might end up hating it so much that you need a reason to stop doing it. And the easiest way to achieve that is to make the business fail. Even if you're not consciously making it fail, you're subconsciously contributing to its failure.

Note:
1. Try substituting career and study choices in to that principle.
2. Try substituting relationships into that principle.

Ta-dah! That was it. For someone like me who believes that if I try hard enough, I could do anything. For someone like me who thinks love for a certain thing can be developed, that was new news. Part of my life finally made sense to me. The only thing that's left to do is to find something I love or something for which my love can be developed for. Though it's kinda sad that I've been contributing to some of the things that I've failed in.

Haha... I've just wasted your time for reading that. It might not make sense to you ^____^ But it makes sense to me! I've finally found my reason.

P/S: Chocolate pretzels are delicious! Shame on you people who don't know how to appreciate it!
