Limitations

I have never felt limited ever in my life till now.

All my life, I had always believed, that whatever I want to achieve, so long as I put my whole heart into it, I can.

Could not speak English at age of 8? I put my whole heart into reading English books to the point where at age of 9, I was regularly topping my school in English.

Don't have Biology background yet want to do Biomedical Engineering as an undegrad? I did that, and did pretty well too.

Only had one year and want to do a 2 year Masters? I survived the process too.

But now I genuinely feel so limited. In the corporate world, ability sometimes count less, much less, than real ability. Put it this way, if your boss doesn't like you, you are screwed. And even if your boss likes you, if his boss does not like him, you are screwed too.

I really feel limited now. Not by ability, but by circumstances.
