Everyone must row with the Oars he have.

- English Proverb

There are often times of hesitation in his life, shall he or shall he not? The subject of the matter often changes but the moment of decision is true each time, deep in his mind, Maynas knew that each choice he makes, big or small, might very well influence his whole life. Perhaps like a butterfly effect, he thought, that even the smallest thing as the flutter of a butterfly’s wing could start a hurricane half the world around. This time, it was a big decision and it took days to think rationally about how events could turn and what’s at stake on the table right then. Finally, with a decision made by looking forward into his future, towards mediocrity or a all or nothing life, he took the plunge.

Maynas quit from his stable and promising career as an Engineer and became an Entrepreneur, one with no guarantee of the next paycheck but one who he himself determines the prospects of his future. Perhaps it was true, his late mentor once told Maynas that he would be something precious that the world has never seen before and thrive or he would be nothing, just part of the crowd. Either path will be good for him and can lead to a fulfilling life, but only one can he experience the true meaning of life which is meant to be.

He took the plunge even though he wasn’t 100% ready though as ready as he needs to be, for who can be totally sure of what he can do until he tried. One rows with the Oars he has. Maynas smiled as if he knew that life was going to be a hell of an adventure from then on.
