I was borned to a family who lived below the poverty line. Nobody able to imagine when my mother gave birth to me, my parents hadly able to buy me a cloth! So, when it was about time for me to be brought home from the hospital, the nurse simply wrapped in paper! You did not believe what you have just read.. BETTER BELIEVE IT!
During my growing years, I suffered so much. From time to time, I had fits or seizures until to a point I almost died. My parents were so concern about me. They did every single thing that people tell them to do in order to ensure I become healthy. My parents are illiterate. They knew none other than doing a small business to feed the whole family. Unfortunately, their business did not progress well and many times, we left with nothing to eat except may be a few slice of breads.
My growing years were so sad that until now, I could still remember how my parents ran around to many people to get some loans to feed us. Even then, the business started to grow but we still not able to get out of this acute situation. We have so much debt and not able to service them. Creditors are swarming us like ants circling a sugar sack. With that, I said to myself, I do not want to be like my parents. I want to study hard and earn a college degree of which I would be able to get a good and high paying job. Thus, bring me and my parents out of debt.
I was so focussed with that goal. Hence, I became a bright student and always get top results in big examinations.
Finally, I excelled in my high school final examination and was offered to further my study to a twinning program course. I was on top of the world! I had a big smile on my face each time I think of myself securing such a high paid job and how I would be able to help my parents who have done so much to me. I am a very grateful person and always want to repay my parents with all my heart.
Unfortunately, suddenly, my grades started to dwindle and to sum up, I was dismissed from the University for registering two consecutive semesters poor performance. I was so devastated and saw my dream of getting a high paying job as well repay my parents shattered in tiny pieces. I knew I had also made my parents disappointed and weep quietly behind me. I felt so upset and did not know what to do. The whole world is crumbling on me. Did I tell you I was married at that point of time? Yes! I am married at the age of 22 years old. So, you see how tremendous the pressure and stress that I have in me.
Then, I start to look into myself. I said to myself that I cannot keep on continue like this. Past is past. I need to look into the future. I need to charter the unchartered water ahead. I do not have to feel sorry for what had happened to me before. God is Great! He knows what is best for me. With that in mind, I start to see the world in different perspective. I know I can do something to unleash the full potential in me. It always too soon to quit now! (http://2soon2quitnow.blogspot.com).
So, I begin my journey to the unchartered water. I started working at a multinational company as a Casual Worker with 6 months contract and RM400.00 salary per month. Yes! You hear me right! Casual Worker with 6 months contract and RM400.00 salary per month. During the employment, I show my true ability. For a Casual Worker who able to speak English, I always get the attention from the Management because other colleagues are not able to do so. So, within 1 month, I was promoted to be a QC Leader. Within 6 months, I was promoted to be QC Foreman (Senior Supervisor). Of course, with the promotion, salary adjustment also followed. With that kind of experience, I knew the God is sending me something good ahead. Something that will open up my horizon once and for all to be a better person. So, being a school drop out does not mean I cannot climb the corporate ladder, right? Thus, do not feel bad if you are also in the same shoes like me now. Just look back at the past for a while and propel yourself to the future ahead. The future that only you can decide how you want it to be. Remember, it always too soon to quit now.
