Chapter 1: The Reluctance to Change

Many individuals hesitate to take the initial step toward change. Without making an effort to alter your circumstances, it's unrealistic to expect a different outcome.

In my younger years, I faced numerous challenges and uncertainties. It was a particular story from a book that inspired me to rise from my failures and enroll in night school. Following this newfound motivation, I turned to the Internet to gather information. I quickly realized I needed to address two key issues: funding for tuition and improving my English skills. I dedicated the next two years to preparing for these challenges. During this time, I worked extra hours to save for my education while also investing in grammar books to enhance my English knowledge.

After two years, I had managed to pay for my tuition, but I still lacked confidence in my English abilities. Although I had learned some grammar and vocabulary, fluency in communication eluded me. Nevertheless, my determination to attend night school remained strong. The day I went to the school to register was filled with anxiety. While my math and science scores were satisfactory, I needed to pass an English test due to my previous failure in that subject during my SPM.

When the staff handed me the test, I expected it to be challenging. However, as I began, I felt more assured. I completed the test in about thirty minutes and submitted my answers. Shortly after, the staff informed me that I had passed, and we proceeded with the registration process.

Returning home that day, I was filled with joy and excitement. One moment that stood out was when the staff member remarked on my English test results, questioning how I could have failed previously. This pivotal decision changed my life and laid the groundwork for my aspirations.

Most of my peers and I began our journeys with limited education, working jobs that didn't require a degree. They often envied my higher salary, oblivious to the fact that I had once stood at the same starting point as them. As we’ve entered middle age, many of us remain stagnant, still envious of others' achievements. Perhaps they haven't encountered Einstein's poignant observation: "The most absurd thing is to expect a change without making any effort."

So, why not embrace change? Why not take that courageous first step? The world is indeed complex, presenting numerous excuses to hold us back, yet often only one compelling reason to propel us forward. If you believe in your potential, even in the face of failure, you can pave the way for future opportunities.

Until you take that first step, you will never know what is possible. This video explores the importance of taking action in the face of uncertainty.
