I’ve always found joy in seeing people that I am close to succeed in the things they do. I especially take pride when the people around me, against all odds, accomplished what they have set out to do. Today’s post is dedicated to my moot teammate, Rebecca who did extraordinarily well in her recent Part 1 finals exams. You have always been searching for people to inspire you to go further. Now you have found one – yourself. Well done!

Today’s post is also dedicated to my own family, the ATC Moot family and close friends. The past few months have been beyond difficult for me, that I can’t find reasons or words to explain this change of mood and behaviour in me. It’s like I am almost indifferent in everything I do – uninspired and fatigued. Behind those smiles, laughter and occasional sarcasm, I see nothing but void. Just when everything seems to fall apart, little did I know that my close friends, and the new people I meet everyday – the taxi drivers, the uncle waiting for the train, the waiter that serves me my lunch – they have all, bit by bit, help me recover by inspiring me in different ways.

I don’t really know whether I am able to go back to my old idealistic ways and be inspired by my own ambition and vision after being so disillusioned with life. I might never, but  I’m not worried because I have so many people that inspire me already.

By the way, bonjour Vietnam
