Royce Cheng’s Life & Philosophies

Life is getting hectic for me. I am so busy juggling my school work and my tuition agency business. As my tuition agency grows, I get busier. Same for my school work. More and more projects and assignments. And, currently I am having my exams.

After my exams, I only have 1 month plus of break before another intensive period for my Minor in Entrepreneurship which starts in June. During that one month plus of break, I should be busy sorting out my tuition agency stuffs.

However, I feel that my life is getting more and more meaningful and closer to my goals! I really hope to learn alot from the Minor in Entrepreneurship which I took up.

By the way…

I have just started using Twitter which is used for posting little updates of your life and socialising with friends online. Up to now, Facebook is still the number 1 social bookmarking site and I still love Facebook. But maybe one day, Twitter will get better? =)

Do join me in Twitter! =D

In life, we have often been misled. We have always been told to do our best to achieve our goals or targets we set upon. It is true that we should have goals to motivate us to become better and better, but sometimes, we should study the processes we had gone through. The journey to your goals is much enriching than achieving them.

In Singapore, we have an impression that, in order to succeed in life, there is a fixed route for everyone. To go through Primary school, Secondary school, Junior College/Polytechnic and University, and you will be able to get your job and that is a success. Everything will be graded.

We have been trying to achieve that success everyday in life. In studies, success is to get straight ‘A’s. In the workforce, the success is to exceed monthly targets and expectations and hope to get promoted. It is a great thing and it is luring you to reach the top.

And one day, you woke up and realised you got that great thing! You had reached your goals!

All of a sudden, you may feel different from what you had expected and felt a slight letdown because that great thing is just a hoax. It makes you miss everything.

In life, we have been driven to work towards our goal. Working days and nights to achieve it. It is similar to a race. Everyone started at the starting point with the mind to reach the finishing line. Sometimes, we had missed out valuable lessons or important friends along the journey.

I’m not saying that you should not be focused on your goals. I mean that you should enjoy and learn as much as you can along the journey as you work towards your goals. We should spend some time reflecting back on our lives. Don’t end up being a workaholic.

One must learn to arrange time for everything in life.
Life is more than achieving your goals!

Now my room is so much cleaner and neater!

1 task down!

Anyway, I have found an article wrote by Mr Charles Goh in ST Forum at http://www.straitstimes.com/ST+Forum/Online+Story/STIStory_302291.html. It is regarding the students in ACJC who went overboard celebrating a friend’s birthday in school. Do check it out! =)

I have been thinking of a solution for my business to continue running during examination periods. The only solution is to employ coordinators who will be free to during my exam periods to handle for me.

If you know of any other good solutions, do let me know! Thanks! =)

Finally! I had finished all my exams and now having holidays till next year! I don’t think I had did very well for the papers, hope I can all Bs and above.

I had wrote a brief note of the tasks I have to do during this holiday. I will write out in details the next day.

The tasks are:

1. tidy up my room. (my table is full of my lecture notes and textbooks. Time to tidy them up!)
2. apply for my credit card. (been delaying due to the exams.)
3. Run my biz again. (I kind of stop my business during this exam period. Have to start advertising again and thinking of a better solution so that I do not need to stop my business for my future exam period.)
4. work on internet marketing. (Have to kick-start internet marketing even if I may fail.)
5. buy new year clothes. (Have to get some clothes for new year and for my cousin’s wedding next year.)

And for any extra time I may have, I will relax and enjoy this holiday period with my friends and family. =)
