First Steps S01E00 : Twenty One Years Ago

Twenty years ago, a boy was born. He came into the world with nothing in his hands and he had nothing to lose but his life. Along the road, he walked, he crawled and he learnt about things out of curiosity. However, more importantly, along the road, he changed. At first, he changed to become like his parents. He spoke the words his parents spoke and he ate the food his parents ate. Eventually, he changed some more to fit into society. He wore the clothes the societies thought were acceptable and he did the things the society thought was morally justified.

But, it was not long before he realised that living a world as a fish among fishes had no meaning. It gave him no satisfaction and his life became mundane. And so, as time pass by, he eventually change to become himself, in other words, different, or to use a better word, special. He changed to become special. He attained a new identity. He was no longer a fish. Nor is he a shark. He is himself.

However, things are slightly different from 21 years ago. 21 years ago, he could change and not lose a single thing. 21 years ago, every change is a gain. But now, each change has its price. Each change comes with its own sets of losses and gains. With every change of career, is a change of income and stability. How much is he willing to lose to gain the changes he desires?

My mother used to say a person cannot change who he is. I used to answer back to her, that if that is the case, this world has no hope and I refuse to believe that you are right. And this is me, doing all I can to prove the sceptics wrong.

There are no books in this world that says that a person must stay the same 24 / 7. Life is filled with ups and downs and with each ups and downs, you are supposed to learn something new and become a better person. God has plans for us and until we uncover what that plan is, I would want to equip myself with all things possible. That includes, health, knowledge, conscience, dignity and friends. And I hope you will too.

The following posts will follow the life of this boy as he learns the things he can and cannot change. This following posts will be the things I would look back in many years time. Hopefully, when that day comes, I can read back and feel proud of the things I did right and not regret every little mistake I did wrong.

So here I am. May 2009 be the begining of the many changes I would bring to my life.
