The Unschooling
When a person study in earnest, the natural consequence is the accumulation of knowledge. Which eventually lead to new interpretations of phenomena, or problem that has betwixt mankind. Armed with so many tools, the learned could unravel the complexity of the universe, not unlike the select erudites of the past. They are like the observer on top of the hill watching how the world go by.
I made myself to believe that I am one of them. The erudite who knows what is best for himself, what is needed to succeed, I dropped out of college. Armed with the overflowing confidence of the youth but not a credential to prove my ability or acquired knowledge, without much ado I get entangled with worldly nuances, believing that I could change the world.
I could still dig the heroic tinged of those times, and I now know that I was right then but that I also made some mistakes. There is no regret. I limited my options, I choosed the difficult path, and I suffered setbacks, encountered moments of uncertainties, but all were temporary and are now behind me.
The greatest lesson is that one’s choosen path, no matter what, is not an obstacle. It is not what you failed to do, or what you don’t have; but what you can still do, and can still have that will matter most.
