Finally, I have a feeling that I might graduate next year.

These couple years in grad school were tough!
Tough -- Not becoz what I need to do is undorable...
But to tackle the politics and tackle my unorganized boss...
Really drive me insane.

There were times I thought of dropping out,
and go to another school...
Well, not sure would that be better or not?!

But now I reckon what I would like to pursue in life,
I am looking forward to that.

I promised myself not to be a professor,
at least not that kinda professors who do not care
teaching & research quality,
all they care is only their fame and funding size.

It is a tough choice, I made a choice to give myself a couple years.
Without well-paid jobs, famous professor title...

It will be a war, a challenge to myself.
But my feeling is, I could make it happen if I am determined to do so.

Let us see what I could accomplish in Hong Kong after I graduate.
I have a faith to introduce something new in HK’s education.

Focus on thorough understanding, not memorization.
Emphasize on analytical and logical thinkng, not standard answers.

There is no syllabus in life,
we have to equip our next generation a power
to learn what we do not know,
to analyse what we have encountered, and
to apply what we have learnt.

My ex-boss said, ”Do not fight with the system, you cannot win!”
Very true, so I decided to stay outside the system and do what I should do.

It takes lots of courage to give up a stable job like a professor,
to pursue my own teaching outside the system,
but I would give it a try.

Wish me luck to get a job after graduation,
save 2 years’ expense to pursue this dream plan.

I hope I can offer a choice outside our sick HK education system...
