Tuesday blues
We began learning General Navigation this week, and what we learned amazed me. about the shape of the earth, the way we navigate with different charts and different diagrams, how the chart is made etc. sometimes I wonder how would a Man make this sorts of chart, or rather, invent these works of art. for accuracy and navigation purposes.
I realised I, as someone who wanted to be a pilot for this long, do not know much about the world map. ask me about types and where oceans are, what and where some countries are, I do not know. sometimes, I feel ashamed for not knowing these general knowledge. I blame myself for not taking my education seriously when I was younger, ahh. those youthful days, being carefree, constantly standing outside classrooms, being sent to the discipline mistress. who would have thought I would end up here, studying the hardest I can, working the best I could to succeed in my dream job? Never once have I put in this much effort to any work in my entire life. haha. funny how life works.
I wonder, what would happened if I had stayed in Singapore for my education? or even, stayed in Liverpool till my degree is over? would I be different? judging from the many things I have learnt thus far, I hope I can be a better Man, and by that, it means letting go of things that are weighing you down, and things that are not meant to be.
