"A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying."

You'll start working in less than 2 weeks. I hope that the working world will be kind to you. I've always know you as a person who doesn't give up easily and damn you will go all the way to achieve what you want. But, we are humans after all. Sometimes, the best even falls and I hope that if you ever come to a point like that in life, just try to think that at least you've tried. I think you'll do great =)
p/s: Oh my! I once wrote that: "But, I am barely 21. Hence, I think I should not be working my a** off. With the unceasingly staring at the computer and late nights at work, I think I am going to look older than 21." And, now I am wishing you the best of luck in the working world when you are just a 21-year-old baby (well, you just turned 21 a few days back). :p
