An yes , currently my glass is "full empty" !!!!

hi gopalpai

is this ur experience too or just have summed up the others ?

thanks

i think all these shocks are managable if someone has a zeal to win.

Maybe After I succeed in canada say in another 2-3 years time, I shall also talk about half empty and half full. Today while struggling, I am not in a mood to enjoy such sense of humour. Perhaps I may not enjoy this joke of half empty and half full ever, after achieving success in canada, because I will always be aware that, somewhere some newcomer/new immigrant is still suffering/ struggling in canada like we did and it will go on and on.

family about what a nice time you must be having in Canada!

It is far not a joke . It is a different perspective of things in life . I do not count myself as successful here yet but I have no regrets of coming to Canada after leaving a very well paid job in S’pore . I had done and still do odd jobs from time to time .
I did not landed successful here and nor did any of my friends . Most of them had a zeal to success ,were hard working and consistent . In all past years , I had seen them ranting about Canada and how life was good back there , but none of them ( yes absolutely none of them ) went back . Some said it is due to their kids educations , some said that they bought property here and now are in a fix . So everyone stayed here on different pretext .
Have you ever wondered why people like GG ,BL , Chandresh PratikM, SS , Ftfl investpro , Hcheda ( and the list goes on ) have nothing negative to say about Canada ? Mind you I know some of them and they did not landed here with huge cash . I guess they are too busy to make life better instead of complaining .
I feel sad for the people who make such a big decision of migration based upon views of the person who is still struggling . But don’t you know inside that this struggle will pay you off some day , otherwise you would have gone back long time .
I am the person who like to regret things after attempting . I do not want rest of my life thinking – What if I have attempted what I wanted and succeeded .

Today ben has posted something to TK’s reply to which I applaud .



P.S: Strictly No offence meant to anyone and if someone feel hurt , I can remove the post immediately .
