Awakening

During my secondary school (before year 1991),
I did not study hard to pass my exam..
I seldom put hard work on my homework..

Until year 1995, I enrolled to "Bachelor of science Major in Economy", I met a lecturer who inspired me. I still remember what he told us in first day of his class. He said,

"degree" course does not mean that you have to study hard and memorize the definition of the model/theory. Instead, we are always asking this type of question: "how big is big when you said its big?".

Sounds a bit confusing for the first time I heard it. But, after a few days of trying to figure out what was he trying to say, I realized that I should not waste my life & my talent. I should do something in my life. Should be something great. So, I left the course and continue with my IT course. I know that my talent is analyzing and I know that I can be better off if I'm in IT field.

In year 2002, I have a crazy idea. Why can our computer system be smarter to assist us to do business? So, I started researching on AI (artificial intelligence). But, after so many years, I'm still trying. :D The good thing is that, I learn many things during the research. And my analysis skill has gone up to a higher level. But, it does not bring me fortune. I'm a bit upset on this situation. Anyway, I realized that I should focus on "business" instead of a "perfect system" that I'm always thinking of.

Have we ever thought of the real meaning of the word "fortune"? In direct translation it mean 'money' you have but again money is something relative. If everyone has a lot 'money' then money you have would be able buy even a single meal. That what happens in during Japanese in Power(in Malaysia). Japanese money is a lot and every place but no value.

My mum told me he get japanese 5 bat but is used as a toilet paper.
Just like we were small 10cent can buy a packet of 'nasi lemak'.
