Of Dreams and Ambitions
Had a good chat with my landlord, Philip, last Friday at the park. It was a chilly and windy 15degC evening and I was only wearing a shirt. My roomie, Than, who was playing with Philip’s daughter, Rebecca, was just an ear shot away.
He runs a house-repair business, apart from being an investor in real estate, which got me interested. I told him about my plans and sought his opinion on how to acquire a property for myself. Surely, I could have asked my uncle and my other friends for these things, but among those whom I asked about property acquisition methods, his advice totally made sense to me. That night, I created a spreadsheet and schemed my way to building funds for the downpayment. I feel it’s a little early to start thinking about these things, really. It’s giving me focus, however, and streamlines all effort to my target. If I’ve come this far to pursuing my ambition, then perhaps I could push myself a little more to make it a reality.
It’s chilly outside, and I’d rather warm my toes for the rest of the day here in my room. Til then. Cheers!
