The On-Behalf Reflection

1. Starting from this moment ... ... ... ... until ok, say this moment ... ... ... ... Reading through this sentence might take us average around 1.0-1.5s. Every moment is passing by without us realizing it with awareness or not.
2. Many changes can take place just like that, and often times even the most significant change only requires some mind shifting, some events of luck, some change in our perceived life situation.
3. This is an On Behalf Reflection which served as a record for future reference.
4. Robert Frost wrote about the road not taken but not many had actually walked the least traveled road. 
5. There is this social norm on human life cycle where as we grow, we ought to study, work, get married, have children and to get old and finally leaving our legacy behind. But there are many different ways to get from point A to B. To embark on the least travel path, it requires a great deal of courage, determination and resiliency as the challenges and endeavors are too great and yet there is no guarantee of success as most had failed with mediocrity.
6. There is this epic journey of one vibrant, youthful girl that i wish to share here.
7. When we review someone on their success, we often credit them for their talent, their dedication and hard work or perhaps their background, the opportunity given or maybe it is all fated!! Undeniably all these indeed played a vital role and everything has to be in place, in a seamlessly sequence to have the exact same great result.
8. Coming from a modest family, looking back on her journey of education (all funded from scholarships and savings from frugal lifestyle) from Malaysia and Singapore top university, and then pursuing her doctorate degree in one the of most famous university in Sydney, Australia; it is already a great inspiration story to be spoken and shared. 
9. Things only got more interesting and better with her recent news of getting a permanent offer from her home university. Not to mention about the difficulties of this feat; she has to have all the qualities, and to have the luck to strike the perfect timing when the university needed her service the most.
10. The core of the reflection in my opinion is at our mind. One of the most powerful tool that everyone possess. Its about searching for the very meaning in our life, trusting it and never give up, period. 
11. Perhaps all the difficulties suffered, the sleepless night, the anxiety of failing, the helplessness, the loneliness in facing all of these meant something, for the better of one self. The alluring of earning a doctorate degree, becoming the crème de la crème in the field of academia, to publish in the top notch journal where many seasoned researchers had shy away, finishing the doctorate degree way ahead of the stipulated time frame are all indeed an astonishing achievement but yet meant very little now. 
12. At this particular time, at this finest moment, all the hardship and the achievement no longer bear that much of importance anymore. There is this space in between where a mild sensation is felt; made up of many different feelings that yet to have a finite word to describe it in proper term. Little part of everything which includes happiness, excitement, contentment, satisfaction and also a little bit of tension and slight anxiety. The confidence is soaring not because of the past achievement but rather the believe in oneself to achieve what we aim for in life. Perhaps everything is possible to a certain extent if we put our heart and soul in it.
13. I guess by reading all of this, no one can really understand even 10% of the true feelings behind this journey. It takes one to know one and we have to really give our 100% in our life, in the very things that bring meaning into our life, be it our career, our family or our passion, embracing it with our full heart. Perhaps then, by going through the worst and thus we might have a glimpse of the fruit of contentment, and happiness.
14. From now on, things will only be better. Lets begin this wonderful voyage we call life!
