Life is a long journey of learning through play and work. The more we learn, the more knowledgeable we become, and the more we can contribute to the world. A knowledge may be worth $1, it may be worth $1M, it may also be worth your life. Do you know what to say or do at the final question of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" ? when you come face to face with a grisly bear ? when the pilot of the plane you're flying in suddenly has a heart-attack ? It is not an over-statement to say that knowledge is priceless.
The learning environment is the school and our friends in it. Challenging environments bring out the best in us. If your environment is a platoon, your potential is a Lieutenant. If your environment is a brigade, your potential is a General ! Therefore, please go to Harvard in Boston USA, Beijing University in China, Tokyo University in Japan, NUS Medical School in Singapore ,... In your journey of learning, find something you're #1 in. That's your niche.
How good or knowledgeable must we be ? The people around us set the standard.
"行行出状元". 行 refers to profession. 状元 is the title conferred to the person who was first in the imperial examination in old China. You can become a 状元 in any 行 you choose, just be the best.
Tiger Woods earn millions. However, many professional golfers who play against Tiger are struggling just to make a living. 古力 make millions. However, professional weiqi player 廖行文 is still training hard and waiting for his own big break.
Although you can become a millionaire if you are the best Fried Kway Teow hawker in the world, it is better to be the best doctor in the world. This is because even if your are not the best in your medical profession, you won't fair too badly.
The mind is a terrible thing to waste. You are intelligent. After thinking about what you want, channel your energy into it. "塞翁失马，焉知非福". However, we do not want to 失马 no matter what. Remember, you are our living legacy to the world.
