Mr R has a cousin who is doing his masters now. He is a few months older than Mr R. Basically, they are at the same age. He is doing well. He is doing his masters while working with the university. Mr R is recently updated that he is paying the new car loan. Wow!! He is still studying yet he can afford to pay a loan for a brand new Toyota luxurious car! That's something which people would feel envy of. Moreover, people around them always compare Mr R with his cousin.
This bunch of people, including Mr R's parents, are hoping that Mr R can do the same thing. Mr R is intimidated and feel inferior. Mr R is a teacher-to-be. Of course, he can't have a salary of an engineer. And Mr R is studying under a scholarship and sponsorship from the Ministry of Education. He has to work for the government for at least 5 years.
Mr R is depressed and inferior now. He feels that his parents are no longer proud of him, because he can't do as what his parents expected.

hello, siew bin :)
well, it's really typical of people to compare us with other persons. although they want the best for us, some people just forget that we possess unique identities of our own. be yourself, siew bin. but know what does it mean truly to be yourself. surround yourself with positive attitudes. don't feel inferior. instead, use this chapter in your life as a motivation for you to be on the same par or maybe even better than him. there's no stopping you if you really, really want to go after what you desire in life. i wish you all the best :)
Miss N thinks that Mr. R should be happy where he is today. People may think otherwise but a teacher is Oprah's favourite person. Haha... Inferiority comes from within and only Mr. R can change that. Gudluck to Mr. R.
