Let's Do it!!!!

And so I've been very free for quite some time. Ever since I had settled down with the idea of which university to get in to, the whole burden that I had in my head was lifted up. But still, deep down inside I still knew that I was about to leave.
In the process of making tough decisions, I learnt a lot and changed a lot. There was a Chinese saying that sounded like this, "the new stuffs won't appear if the old ones weren't gone."
Such theories were easier to say than done. That's true for sure. Many adults or "early-matured" teenagers loved to use them when they were comforting or educating the younger ones. Nevertheless, now that I know it, I am sure that it would be better for one to personally undergo that kind of feeling to fully understand it. Sometimes life is just that way. If everyone can achieve greatness just by theoretical education, without practical use, then many people would be at home and home only.
For now, I am at the beginning of a race. A race of my life. To where, unknown. I ain't even sure whether I am doing the right thing. But I am sure that I will do my best. So many things await my presence and my effort. Some of them would be my achievement and some would be my lessons of life. I am not quite certain whether I am ready to do this. I don't know whether I will adapt to the new surroundings as quickly as possible. I don't know whether I will still be the old Lucas once I have finished everything. But then again, when will it be finished? When will this race be over? Who is the referee or judge that calls the end?
As I started to pack my things and waved a hand saying good bye to the people here, I come to realise that it's time to go. Those people around me, those so dear to me, they need their own arenas to expand also. At the end of the day, we all would be someone in our own unique way. I asked my friends before, "Do you wish to be someone of great power or success that your name would be known worldwide ?" They din't answer it. But I knew that we all would be someone in our own way. We would be so different in so many ways. Then, it would be our duties and responsibilities to salvage a mutual point amid the vast difference in order to continue on what we had started. If not, all would be lost unknowingly and indirectly. But no matter what it is or will be, life still goes on. As I had said to my friend, we will all die and decay eventually. So let's see how we utilise our remaining time. It does sound a little despair but that's the truth I guess.
My time here is dying out and out there at Miri, it's growing up. I have to be ready. I just have to! Inspired by Jeremy Lin, a NBA player from Taiwan, I hope to rely and count on another source of strength.
Let's Do it!!!!
