I want to do something big, something different with my life. i dont want life to pass me and just be another blimp on the map. I want to look back and feel that I have made a difference. i want to feel the mark I have made and be proud that I was there at that time and I contributed to the succeess of that...whatever that is.

You never know where life is going to take you. So many dreams, so many aspirations but nothing is in your hands. Or is everything in your hands and it is for you to actualise it? Fate......sit tight and it will happen or get up and make it happen...which one is it?

I went to see an old teacher of mine the other day and when he found out that I was reluctant on the idea of pursuing law he pumped his fists in the air and shouted 'YES'. I burst out laughing, cause who would have thought that he would have had such a strong reaction to my mindset? His answer to my inquisitive look: 'you have too much humanity to be a lawyer'. I wonder if thats true. Do lawyers give up their humanity to succeed? Forget succeeding...just practicing lawyers...are they lacking in humanity? I constantly think about criminal law and i realise that I could never persue that area of law. Letting a guilty man go free, or helping to convict an innocent man. Brr..sends chills up my spine. Nah... the criminal field definitely aint for me. Ok commercial law...hugely popular in HK...devoid of all the moral implications. or is it? Commercial transactions  have their own issues and when there is hanky panky involved....and you are in charge of bankrupting another person or company or protecting the deceitful one. Aiyesh, i think of the families and the children and again i don't know if i could do it. Sure its not ALWAYS like that ....my world isnt a television show but when it comes around to it and something like this happens as it does time and again...could i handle it?

Was my teacher right? Am I too full of humanity to practice law? Possibly...
