If you have a relative dreaming to do "medicine" but got C-, have them do that Mortuary Science course being offered by KMTC. After three years, that person will have 120% chances of getting a job, and 100% of becoming a millionaire if he/she gets an opportunity in the US.

This made me realise a few things:
1. Live each moment of life to the fullest.
2. Life is very , very fragile.
3. Love your parents/ siblings/friends from the bottom of your heart. Coz you never know when it could be your last.
