The Purple Sky

"Yesterday is but today's memory, tomorrow is today's dream" - Khalil Gibran

He obtained 3rd grade for SPM.
In other words, he screwed the exam. Dengan jayanya.

He had to work in petrol kiosk to make ends meet.
He's ashamed of himself... and felt looked down upon.
But hell no. Failing once is no reason to fail forever.

He enrolled to a local university college, worked hard, obtained a bachelor degree, and later got accepted to study doctorate in Leeds University. In 2005, he became the first Malaysian to present his studies (about nano and micro-machine process - God knows what these things are) to the Members of Parliaments (MPs). The research won the Best Research of a Good Prospect award.

But success does not just fall onto his laps. He earned it with his ATPs and brain cells. Going for classes in the mornings, working during lunch hour, classes again in the evening, sleeps only for 2-3 hours daily..

To think that it all started with a failure. Gred 3 ok! Seriously, this person humbles me.
