Scenario :
You've come to a point in life, whereby your personal goal/dream/aspiration have either come and gone or you're about to achieve it. One fine day, chance or your years of hard work calls upon you, your time has come and your dream/personal goal has arrived. You're ecstatic, you know this is the opportunity you've been waiting for and you've lived by this ever since you knew that this is what you really want. You are to go abroad, somewhere better, way better. However, you realize things aren't too good at home, your family isn't doing too good integration wise, the people around you need you and you know for a fact that all of this will be a burden (this in general). You have this chance of taking life by the horns and overcoming your life long goal, you'll be at the top of the world. Take this chance, be happy or bare a weight however you would think of it and be happy. What would you do? Oh, this opportunity would be a 1 shot thing, or something you will never be able to do again. More so a goal of yours than a dream.
Note: Apply this scenario to yourself making this dream your dream, this goal your goal whatever it may be. Remember this is something you've been wanting to do, for shit knows how long. Oh... and no "it depends, depends" all... its a yes or no.. oh yeah do explain too... elaborate whatever.
P.S. Try to be honest, there's no right or wrong.. seriously. Life is subjective, we can all be only as good as we want to be.
Family
Chance calls upon.
Chance calls upon.This is metaphorically, be realistic. Sorry for the inverted colors, somethings up with my blogger.

first of all, nice pick of u and ronaldo.. ahahha .. so anyway, it really depends how serious those problems back home are. they need u, but can they pull through without u? even so, im sure your family would want you to go and achieve your dream considering its a once in a lifetime opportunity. But like i said, it really depends how bad the situation is. Anyway nowadays, with technology and all, webcam, videocall(shaun... ahaha) and all that sorta stuff, you might be able to help your out from afar? its an option i guess. But once in a lifetime opportunities happens once in a lifetime, so yea.. if it really comes down to it, i might take the chance knowing the fact that technology will help me "be there" when the need arises..
ken said "it depends". haha.
wait shaun, you'll get my reply soon enuff. this one needs thinking.
Yeah, ken said it depends. But i think it's quite obvious what middle child boy's answer is. haha
Anyway, as i write my response, i can't really think of any of my dreams that happens over a day and never comes back again. How would you know that another BETTER opportunity would not come around again?
So, family would definitely be my priority. I love the people that love me. haha
no matter what happens back home, if my parents need me, i would choose my family over my dream. one day the opportunity will come again, have faith in God. He will provide you with answers and that's what i am looking for right now.
as for friends? i dont know actually, if a friend really needs you, i'll have a hard time to choose over my dream or them. that all depends again, if like somebody gone retarded or something, then of course i would stay back.
Opportunity doesnt come once only, it will come another time, patience is a virtue.
