Life
seems very normal to those who live their lives thinking that they know enough
and they don’t need to learn more.
One day I was one of those
people, I felt that the knowledge I have in the things that I do is enough, I
felt that I don’t need to learn more. My job kept me financially stable and my
hobby kept me spiritually satisfied. But that was back then.
Every challenge I faced,
every defeat I had to accept made me recalculate my choices in life, and as for
someone who studied accounting, I could easily find out that all the equations
I made in life need to be reconsidered.
And Here I am, I left my
job and everything that kept me attached back home for a while, and I came to
New York Film Academy in Los Angeles to learn more about filmmaking, although I
thought that I knew enough. The praises I got from people back home and the
feedback from my colleagues made me think that I made it into the world of
filmmaking. But I just realized that the knowledge I have is a stepping-stone
for someone like me to profession in filmmaking.
The nights can be lonely
and the days can be vague sometimes, but I can’t feel that when all I think of
is learning, and all I care about is to reach that level of knowledge that I
pursue. Learning is the light that shines in such nights and dreams are the eyes
that make us walk through these days.
At sometimes, all you need
to do as a dreamer, is to look up at the sky and draw your dreams, then look
back and start planning for them, start building the stairs that are going to
take you there.
Keep learning & Keep
Dreaming.
