Awakening... a rude one to say the least

For the first time this year my ego was blown up!
Tattered into pieces by the mere observation of how big the world actually is and that it is NOT confined to SMU.
I've been myopic.
In fact, too narrowed vision.
At times I believe I've planned and thought a lot... secured quite a bit of credentials and worked out a good path to carry on my future ambitions.
But honestly, the world is a big one, an eye-opener.
How many all-rounders do we have in SMU... not too many in my perspective... blunt as I may be now... it's partially because of the day I had. Now I'm typing in an internet cafe and deciphering how difficult it is to face the world.
We are a small island.
China's really huge... an average student in their university may be a totally all-rounder in his own right.
We may think those bicycle trekkers who screech along the highways are not as technologically advanced or capable... but the fact is they are much more trained. It may not be army training... it may not be academic training but it doesn't really matter 'cos they have a stronger aptitude compared to many of us. The Chinese elites in SMU are just a portion of what there is in China... I am really awed by how strong the competition is among graduates.
Time and again I think to myself... how would the world be in the future... would we be able to make a big one in the big world outside... or would we be just a portion of the middle strata, struggling.
I'm really upset.
Ego-less... :( hoping my close friends are with me now. :(
Shall post another update later.
