WhAt Am I LiViNg FoR?

Hi! Here I am again doing my blog for the day. Today I was utterly stunned by what my girlfriend asked me via SMS. It sounds like a simple question, but many are embarrassed to ask it. Well, when I first received it, a voice inside me says, “Nah, why ask such a basic question?” we’re resistant because we know this requires a lot of difficult soul-searching. She also told me that if I thoroughly know myself, then I have changed. I don’t really understand it. Does it mean that I have changed my relationship with her or to the world? This question still lingers around me. Well, a process of self-discovery involves asking a series of questions, always probing deeper until the underlying truth emerges. Well here are the 10 Questions that she asked me:

1) What is the purpose of life?
2) What is my goal in life?
3) Why did I choose biomedical engineering?
4) How do I spend my spare time?
5) What is my motivation for doing what I do?
6) What really makes me happy?
7) Am I as happy as I want to be?
8) Is it more important to be rich or to be happy?
9) What are my future plans? Why?
10) What are my secret dreams and ambitions?

I personally believe that the answers to this question aren’t immediate. This process of finding the answers can take many months…HiaZzZz.i just hope I could sticks with it and I know that the answers are hiding there after all.
