EXTRA LUCK

Life is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. We commonly hear or read this once living is brought up as topic in a conversation or when you read some books with relevance to life.

I do really believe that you are the driver of your own life. Everything that is happening and will happen to you is under your responsibility. You are responsible for your own actions. And those who exert extra effort and hardwork can succeed easily. Those who are intelligent and knowledgeable can travel the path of success in a less difficult way,

So are you trying to say that the undergraduates, dropouts and non-honor students have little chance to succeed and be famous?... that those who failed their Math classes are very likely to end up in slums?

I don't think so.

Almost everybody knows that William Henry "Bill" Gates as the wealthest figure in the world is a Harvard University dropout. The very famous singers/songwriters Brian Adams and Christina Aguilera were both highschool dropouts. And Ben Affleck who dropped out of Occidental college is now Hollywood's actor/screenwriter. The Dell Computer Corporation's Michael Saul Dell stopped school at the age of nineteen but now grasping in his hands the world's most profitable PC manufacturer.

I myself is a college undergraduate and after a year studying Information Technology, a course I never really intended to take, at 17 landed a job as a branch Secretary in an employment agency for abroad. After reaching the right age, got another job in an industry most jobseekers dying to get. Fresh college grads, licensed engineers and even nurses, bank employees who resigned and the likes applied. Lucky are those who got the job, unfortunate for those who did not get the prize.

I know I am just an average student. There is nothing so important about me as a person. During my highschool, I think I showed up almost the best that I got but I was still not able to attain my goal. Maybe, that was also way too high for my category. I'm just a real ambitious, little bitch. But it's good to be like that because now I already have the job I've been longing to have around 3 years ago which I'm starting to fully love and enjoy right now.

At the back of my very thoughts, I can see from people's looks, the way they say those words about me-can't even tell if it's against or pro, and how they laugh, grin sarcastically, that i'm not worth nor credible enough for what I have. Oh well I am not as famous and as rich as them, no assets nor business earning billions of dollars but what I am attaining now is more than enough of who I am. This is just a simple job, guys, you are having hard time getting. A job you never thought an undergrad can get.

Not that I'm being too proud, but that is just pure envy you feel guys, I think. Sorry, but I just have this extra luck I think you don't have. lol
