Just finished SPM! Yahooooooo! NOW WHAT?

1. Define your own future
- This is definitely not the end but the beginning of a new stage of life. You are entering the ADULT life where there's nobody will (or should) tell you what you should do. It's you who makes the decision. So decide who you will be in the next 15-20 years. (Still it's important to seek advices from the more experienced people such as your parents before making the decision).

2. Discover yourself
- What do you like or talented to do? What you can produce for everybody's benefit? How can you develop these talents of yours? If you want to be a lawyer, ask yourself can you convince people? Can you analize problems and bring to the people the truth? If you are not sure, train and test yourself! Go to self-building camps, take English classes, make connection with people!

3. Turn your assets into gold
- See where you are going? Now to have something you have to give first. What do you have? Money? Freedom? Knowledge? Time? Let me suggest. I guess the best thing you can invest in is your time. It's free, it gives you freedom and your knowledge will increase by investing in it. So make it your greatest asset to build your castle of dream. Never waste a minute of it.

4. Take the trip of your lifetime
- You are going to KL for example. How will you bring yourself to the destination? By bus or train? Maybe by airplane? Which way will you take? The highway? The state roads? This is called strategizing. List all the options you have and use pro and cons.

5. Collect beautiful pebbles along the way
- Don't focus too much on your destination until you forget to enjoy the scenery along your trip. Capture it in your camera. Learn big from small things. Savour the moments!

Whatever the result is, remember there is no winner that never fails. And a winner becomes a failure when he stops with the success. And the most important, remember that Allah seeks for efforts, not the result.

Happy tripping to success ^_^
