let me pose you a question

what would you do if:

you have happiness now, but its not what you truly desire.

would you let go of what you have now in order to try to obtain your hearts desire?

even if you have no way of knowing if you will be able to obtain it?

they say that a bird in hand is worth two in a bush, but what if the two birds in the bush were what u always wanted from the start, not the one u have in your hand.

would it not be unfair for the bird in hand if your affections were elsewhere?

wouldnt it be better to just let that bird go?

but what if you never manage to get the two birds in the bush but have let go of what you already have?

being greedy and trying to keep both is not an option. you must choose between the one or the other.

what would you do?

keep what you have, or strive for what you want?



depending on the issue, you could possibly have different approaches. do let me know what you would choose, applying these questions to:
1) career
2) love

tough i would erm...well i cant say anything i don really have anything to lose...;P ahaha but im sure it will take courage to let go of the one you have.

be confident! =D you will succeed! just let go of those lil girl insecurities and you will do fine =) coz in the end keeping both might hurt every party in the end

just go for your hearts desire! =D if its meant to be it will happen.

Career.

Career opportunities don't come very often.

How many couples you know in their 20s get married eventually?

this was lingering in my head too. bleh.

yes it would be unfair for the bird in hand if your affections were elsewhere

strive for what you want because right now you are still young and you only live once and if its love you want the best of it and in the end it's going to be worth the fight right?

if it's love follow your heart la.

but if its career there's so many other things you have to think about and i dont want to get there.

:(

wish u girls were here!

For career, I think I'll choose to get what my heart desire if I have the chance because opportunity don't always knock on your door and you might only given that only chance to make a change.

oklah.. i'll change my answer. keep the bird in the hand an approach the bush. then think real hard about in the hand. even if the one in the bush looks like it cant be caught, release the one in the hand if its not what you want anyway. then if you STILL want, go after the one in the bush. but if you cant get the one in the bush, plenty more birds in trafalgar. call me and i'll go bird-catching with you!

muacks!

You asked for it Amy.

1) Career
I would keep striving till I get what I want. In a career, the best learning is not by letting go but striving for the best by mistakes and chance. I've learned this quote from the movie Rocky Balboa, and it goes by:

"it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward."

2) Love
Love is God given gift. Love should be easy. Not complicated. Human emotions makes loves complicated. To fulfill "till death do us apart", you either keep and improvise or let go for the sake of love!
