Dear Daughter...(Letter 3)
Dear Lu Meng, May 27 1992
Received your May 18 letter two days ago. Glad you passed your clinical at Mt. Royal Hospital. How many more hurdles do you still have? You should be back from your holiday by the time this letter reaches you. How was it? Full of fun as usual? Incidentally are you financially ok? Has that tooth of yours gradually fallen into line with the others? Your wisdom tooth is still bothering you? We are uneasy about it if you are not.
I have got your Subang membership card and golf tag (just in case you want to try this game and get yourself bitten by the golf bug). Grandma had her eye checked, verdict a successful operation. I was informed lately that cataract can be removed by laser (probably painless). Can you find out at your end before my turn to have mine removed...
As regards yourself, I strongly advocate that you practice your profession for, say, 3-4 years so as to be an occupational therapist in every sense. In order to equip yourself paper-wise and open for yourself other fields of opportunity, I reiterate that while working MBA should be pursued thru either part-time or correspondence course, if available. You know that MBA is not that difficult and you can get it if you want. If you want, you can bend your interest towards it, channel your energy to it, and make time for acquiring it.
As regards going into business, I know you are not at all serious about it. Nonetheless for your mental exercise I put these few questions for you to think about:
- What capital is needed?
- What are the risks?
- What is the current volume and future potential? (i.e. matured, saturated market or growth market)
- Competition: How competitive in the market place? What edge you have got over others or what edge others got over you?
- What support do you have? (what credit lines you expect to get)
Before Mum takes over in her 'gossip column' in the ensuing paragraphs, we close with advice:
- Maintain good health, both physical and mental
- Work hard (always)
- Play hard (when in appropriate occasions/circumstances)
- Tolerance: Do exercise tolerance
- Conflict/Differences: Resolve quickly and amicably
- Thinking/Planning: Think ahead/Plan ahead
- Additional item (Food for your thought): Quality of life in Australia vis-a-vis Malaysia's on a dollar-for-dollar earning basis
Well, looks like I have given you enough home news as well as so non-sense. So, bye Dad.
