Double Whammy

It came today. 2 consecutive hits onto me, one coming right after another. I got me thinking - fate wanted me to reflect. It couldn't come at a better time.

1. I was at an interview in town. One of the qns the interviewer asked was what are my career goals (and what I foresee myself when I am 35)? I paused, I deviated and then I struggled. I realise I don't know what my goals are. I have only figured out what I liked and what I don't. And the end of it all - I confessed to ther interviewer that I am only 28 and I wasn't sure myself.

2. Barely 15 mins later, I was heading to the MRT. I bumped into my sec sch friend whom we hadn't met for years. There was so much to catch up and we shared as much as we could whilst standing in a corner within the MRT station. And then it came again. He shared his career goals with me and asked me what was mine. That hit me, cos he is also 28 and he knew what his goals were.

It isn't the age. It was me. The undecided me, who haven't thought about my directions in my life and my career. The double whammy came and knocked some senses into me today.
