How many roles would we experience in our life? And what would happen if you suddenly had to experiment with a totally differing new role in your life? This week, a friend's "suggestion" has triggered my thought deeply into this matter. And I trembled at every thought of it as I just realise that there is really not much changes in my role during the past 30 years of my life. At home, I am always an impatient daughter and a bad-tempered sister. Apart from this, I am basically a student all the while, a naughty and wayward student who likes to escape class and play little tricks during exams.
I extended this thought to my friends and my sister who are entering the next phase of their life. Getting married or having a baby may be perceived as the norm of life; Nevertheless, they may need lots of courage to take the new responsibilities and new roles. Salute to them and Gambateh!
