I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
hmm.. noticed i have not been blogging for some time ever since the last one on the personality test... well, i guess "no news is good news". after all, if u noticed, i blogged very frequently when im feeling down cos i need a place to vent & express my feelings. so if i did not have any new blog, well, it could mean a few things: -
1. i am very busy 2. my life recently has been quite boring 3. life has been too pleasant sailing for me to think of anything stimulating to blog or rather issues for me to 胡思亂想 (afterall, im really not those who just blog abt their daily affairs...day in day out...)
so, hm... i think my answer to this period is no. 3?? no. 2?? or no. 1?? well, i guess is really a combination of the above.
seriously speaking, these period i have started reading quite a bit on psychology theories. i even borrowed a textbook on psychology and realised that i do like the idea of being a clinical/ research psychologist. i wonder if it is too late for me to change field again, and also if that is the will for me by God.
i have always have an interest in psychology since sec school as i wondered how a human thinks that will affect and cause them to behave in certain ways... but well, heard psychology isnt for Christians, so i thought to switch to counselling which again felt that that is not what God wants me to do. without any premeditation or planning, i got into the media field doing graphics, and i wonder if this is what God wants me to do in life. i like graphics, and media and believe that it has a lot of influence on society. so i have a vision and even plans for this field. but again, recently my interest in psychology is once again triggered and wonder again, if it will be a possible field for me to venture?
honestly speaking, sometimes i thought to myself, my interests and abilities varied so much that caused me much trouble in thinking what i want to do in life and what He wants me to do in life. i am so open to so many fields and i seriously think that, not to brag, but i am someone who learn things fast and do things well if i want to... except for numbers i think which i seriously has no talent in.
anyway, just checked on the qualifications to become a clinical or research psychologist, i will have to at least have a post grad qualifications. and i think that for this i will not be able to ride on my business degree as it is a very specialised field. for counselling, i am still able to ride on my degree though... however, after much reading and thinking, i realised i want to be a psychologist more than i want to be a counsellor...
sighz... so... well, just some thoughts... i have not made up my mind yet. i have so many things i want to learn and do but i have limited resources and time.
i really want to live this life and waste it. someone said to me recently and i forgot who.. oh i just remembered.. is Pst Daniel...
" we can either waste our life, spend our life or live our life" (along this line... i forgot the exact phrase... got to look into my notes)
i have a penchant for meaningful quotes. and people who can use words well. :)
