Message
1.	Don't ever give up I always engage in activities (should it be academic/non-academic) with three things in mind, first, what I want to do, second what I can do, and third what I am expected to do. I always had & still have troubles in deciding which to prioritize, as it depends on given circumstances. No matter how hard I try, sometimes it turns out to be very much disappointing & heartbreaking. Regardless, I have always kept in doing all of them without quitting although there may be minor changes in the direction or methods. Thanks to that, I could gain a lot of knowledge and experience a lot of things. To all, what I can say is, try to find something that stimulates you and keeps going. It will undoubtedly lead you to a lot of opportunities.
