In the midst of my quarter life crisis.. I'm a big believer of the idea of self learning and self improvement. I believe that the best education you can get is the education you give to yourself. In this internet era it's not an impossible thing to do.. and yes, going to school again is not always the best option to choose. Not all things that a school requires you to learn is aligned with your interests, and to be honest it's quite an expensive opportunity cost to pay (from money and time standpoint). But above it all the sad but the harsh truth is no matter how good a particular school is most teachers don't really care about your success. A real mentor who cares about your success is a much better option for sure. With this I concluded that going back to school is not an option for me, and thus I ended my year abroad in Japan. I still don't know what the hell do I want to do for the rest of my life--whether I want to enter the rat race culture of corporations or do something else-- but I promise myself to not forget about improving myself by at least 1% everyday. I hope someday I'll reach a point where I don't have to doubt my ability anymore, do everything I wanna do without second guessing and regretting my choices, living a life I want to live..
