Today I woke up at 9:39 a.m. Quite usual for me during off days but I was thinking of going to Baker Beach again on this gorgeous day.
Last night, I was seriously pondering as to whether I am going to Law School or I would grab my BFFs offer to send me to Medical School. One blogger obviously said that deciding on which case am I going into involves a varied perspective. The need to satisfy your inner desire is the most important thing. On the other hand, one might have the passion but does not have the intellect greatly creates an environment of confusion and disgust.
So last night, I thought and thought and thought and thought and thought.....It came to a point where I was already having an intractable headache. I prayed and I eventually fell asleep. But this morning when I woke up, I realized that choosing one over the other is not the question. The real issue is choosing what you want and what you've always wanted. Law School it is!
Elle Woods valedictory speech at Harvard have always been giving me some kind of inspiration. Let me quote her:
"On our very first day at Harvard, a very wise Professor quoted Aristotle: "The law is reason free from passion." Well, no offense to Aristotle, but in my three years at Harvard I have come to find that passion is a key ingredient to the study and practice of law -- and of life. It is with passion, courage of conviction, and strong sense of self that we take our next steps into the world, remembering that first impressions are not always correct. You must always have faith in people. And most importantly, you must always have faith in yourself."
Indeed, we must always have faith in ourselves....
