reflection

Reading Thor's blog really challenged my thoughts about life again. It reminded me of what Kev said, that everything comes with a cost.

Just this week I was in touch with my o' friends again! Also to learn that they are really flying, high. Most of my bestest friends have recently graduated from U of Chicago, CMU, UPenn, Wellesley, Harvard, LSE etc. Most of them working - HSBC-IB, Goldman, Mckinsey..etc, and many doing or going to embark on their post-grad (again, top schools like HBS, Chicago, HKU, NYU, Colombia).

I dont konw why, I feel good that my friends are all doing great, but at the same time pressurized. When can I be more proud of myself..? I'm proud that I'm building a strong network, I'm proud of my friends, I'm proud that I'm spending time with my families, a strong CCA record, command of 4 languages, getting a scholarship to do an MBA, an above-average GPA. I've even secured a "wanted" internship in HK this summer... Yet I'm feeling very insecure..


Suddenly, I recalled that Spiderman show I watched in HK (Also the last movie I watched in a HK cinema).
"With power comes greater responsibility"
As I'm mixing around the "smarter" people, there's more competition. Everyone's flying high, and I'm struggling to fly. May be its the same for them.. I wonder how people see my world..
