I remember that when I first joined NUS, I was looking at Make It Real. Attended one of those briefing sessions.
It may be a long time ago of more than 10 years, but somehow, I remembered that it was we had to do our own fund raising of maybe $4000 or more?
My family was that low income or that I simply was not hungry enough that I stayed out of it. Now looking back, it seems like a dream not accomplished. Now, it is like what Dr Peck said, when you are student, you have time and energy but no $. When you are an adult, you have money and energy but no time; when you are finally retired, you have time and money but no energy.
As I thought about it before, I cannot agree with the value of travelling like Ken. Yet, if I ask myself, it is true that I kind of want to wear a alpine climbing jacket and do some real snow climbing.
It is also horrendously true that when I am not working at home, the amount of rubbish I play and watch on the internet is also amazing.
There is one crucial difference between my peers and I - I am actually interested and excited by those mountains pictures. Everybody likes different things and somehow I am attracted by these.
With that in mind, I would like to channel my time and energy towards those pursuits. Less rubbish. Less gathering even?
