Further studies?

An ending of a chapter in life leads to a beginning of a new one. It's high time I decide what to do with this life!
So.... I've been thinking and thinking and thinking:

If I want to become rich and enjoy life through material gain, I would open a funeral parlour. The business is good and so is the profit! I mean, people die everyday no matter how good or bad is the economy and the demand for coffins is never ending. Going into this line is great in terms of money earned.
But who would want to marry an undertaker? Haha! Even if some one does, how would my children feel when people ask them "What does your daddy do for a living"?
And of course, material gain is not what I live for.

If I were to open a restaurant, the profit would be quite good too, depending on the business of course.
Hmmmm.....

If I start a childcare business, I'd be a happy man looking after children everyday. Running a daycare center sounds good! I get to play with children and have lots of fun although there is a lot of hard work and headache.

If I go into nursing, I'd have to give up music ministry as the crazy time schedule wouldn't leave me much fixed free time for band practices. In addition, I wouldn't have much time for family too whereas running a daycare center would give me free time after work and on weekends. Erm... Meeting demanding patients everyday can be challenging and the thought of cleaning some of their buttocks disgusts me but not blood and dead bodies, hope to work in the emergency ward where there are lots of blood or peace ward where there are lots of dead bodies. Hehehe.... Most importantly, having a helpful, humble and willing-to-serve heart for people is a must-have in this line.
However, there will be friends who might make fun of me choosing to become a male nurse but I'm prepared for it already. "I don't care what they say about me, it's alright, it's alright..."

If I become a teacher, I'd be able to educate the young generation and try to bring them up and love them as if they were my own! Children need to be educated but now they're only learning how to pass exams, this is absurd! Something needs to be done or else Malaysian students may soon be internationally useless and incapable. Teaching as a career sounds good too, plus there's a lot of holidays.

If I become a tour guide, I get to learn different languages and culture. I'd be travelling a lot for free but will probably not have time for church on Sundays... Sigh...


Enough Ifs! Time to think more deeply and carefully. The conclusion is that whatever one does, he or she must be prepared to work hard. Here on earth, nothing is easy! The truth will set you free.
And whatever I do, I don't want to live this life chasing after material wealth, sex or fame because all these are just nonsense.

Oh well, life is short and miserable.
