I met Ma Chao and Fei Ying, two very different guys with opposite outlooks in life. Spending an entire week with these strangers helped me decide what I wanted to do this 2012.
Fei Ying is your happy go lucky guy who spent an entire year walking from China to England just to meet the love of his life, who in turn, left him for being jobless. Now he found his soulmate in Xiamen and have two kids.
Ma Chao on the other hand is the professional rich Audi owner who remains single yet successful. He pretty much paid for what I ate and spent in China, and I was really glad to meet him. I would have gone bankrupt without his assistance! ahahah!
This is by far the bes soul searching trip I found. Because it was able to live up to its purpose. I am now more confident to leave my job simply because I don't see myself doing this for the rest of my life, editing and all. Yes, the pay is good, but I don't think that the job is good enough for me.
Going back to the guys I met in China, I asked myself which among these two guys do I want to become? The hot-headed successful guy, or the happy go lucky poor man?
At the pace I'm going, I'm walking towards becoming a happy go lucky person, living one day at a time.
But sitting in a table with these two guys, I know that successful guy has more to share, more to offer than just wonderful stories of love and adventure. He's worked his ass off to reach his stature, dealt with very difficult people and overcame challenging situations.
I wanted to become both.
After seven days in China, I am ready to become happy and successful, because that is who I choose to be.
I am about to face bigger changes in the coming weeks, and I will be ready for it.
And if the world should end by 2012, I will embrace it with arms wide open.
2012 is my year, I am claiming it as early as now! I've never been excited about anything in my life, here comes the DRIVE!!!!! YEAAAAH!
