Quest for Freedom


In man's pursue of a fulfilling career, he goes through
a lot of ups and downs to get to a point where he feels a sense of fulfilment- a relieve- where he takes a deep sigh- and knows that everything is on track.
Until this moment, its only a periodic feeling of freedom- just like building bricks upon bricks - one hassle gone, another yet to come- -In Jan. 2004, I felt freedom- then came June 2005- a new search for freedom- In Nov. 2005, I welcomed the feeling of freedom again- And now, Oct. 2006- in search of freedom again- my quest for freedom is on! I shall be free once again!!!-YES! I shall!


"I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can rest only for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not yet ended."

(Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, born 1918, South African lawyer, statesman and 1993 Nobel Peace Prize winner, from Mandela's inspirational 1994 book, Long Walk to Freedom.)
