regret

Tonight is one of those nights that I think back and wonder what did I do with my life? What have I gained? What have I lost?

Could be that I have no time nowadays to really think of anything else but work, perhaps it is really time for a change.

I scrolled through the list of names that were from the same secondary school batch as me. Some of the names are familiar, some no. Going through their current career, ‘Head of so and so’, ‘GM of so and so’, ‘Director of so and so in Ministry of so and so’, each and every single one of them holding top and senior management positions in both the public and private sector.

And then, inevitably, I look at myself and asked, ‘What happened?’ At which point in my life did I got sidetracked? What did I do that put me like 10 years behind my peers?

I looked back, and sigh with regret.
