Food for thought

"Financial freedom might be free, but it does not come cheap. Freedom has a price... and to me it is worth the price. The big secret is this: It takes neither money to be financially free nor a good formal education. It also doesnt have to be risky. Instead, freedom's price measured in dreams, desire and the ability to overcome disappointments that occur to all of us along the way. Are you willing to pay the price?" - Robert T. Kiyosaki, Cashflow Quadrant.
Another semester and I will be out of school into the society. It is a mixed feeling. The feeling that is almost like you finished your last paper and then excitedly searching for the modules offering in next semester.
I bombarded myself with numerous questions: What do I want in life? What lies ahead of me? What is my next step? Do I need to work or do I want to work? Do I have a choice? Do I have to follow the path that many have taken? Can I be an outstanding person? Being mediocre is not what I have in mind.
The irony part is that, I want to remain a student at least I have the 3 months summer vacation to look forward. I can choose to work or travel,like what I did this year. In fact, I was thinking of going to Japan for my graduation trip then fly over to Mongolia for a month. By the way, my Mongolian name is tsetsegee (pronounced as zi-zi-geh). haiz... Do I have many choices? I have to face the reality. If I am financial free, I can do all the things I like.
I overheard someone said this "If the things you are finding are what you are looking at now, you would have gotten them long time ago". Am I doing what I am supposed to be doing to get "there"?
