MY PERIL

It is with great concern for myself and others in same peril that I write this. I have always wonder WHY and WHEN all these so-called education pursuance will be belayed. We learn everyday.

It however occurred to me, it is something nobody can stop except the life in us. Meaning if you want to stop learning, you have to die!

After tertiary education, 'What Next?' Is the most echoed question from most of my classmates we graduated together. A thought popped up in my mind, 'when shall this end'. Everytime you see people rejoicing for the completion of a stage task, they are always worried about the future afterward. Right from when we were young, although we were less concerned about our promotion then in our Nursery classes, our parents were worried. We caught the flu when we finished our Primary education. Now the worry of passing Secondary (high) school entrance examination.

It does not stopped there, we finished secondary (high) school education and the ghost return in a more matured form. What next? Would you be offered admission into University of your choice for your chosen course?

After completion of Tertiary education, the old ghost returned 'what next?' Would I be able to secure a job? It is true we will overcome this stage, but I sat to assess people who have been in the same peril as I am; people who had solved the enigma I am currently battling. I discovered this old ghost (what next?) is still hunting them. After being employed, 'what next?' resurfaced. They got over it concluding the answer is to work as hard as possible. An unproductive enthusiastic employee, employee analyst called them. 

Lucky for them, they got a nod from the employer. They were rapidly promoted and got to the topmost echelon. What Next? Came back visiting as expected. The company's success or failure depended on them, the buck stops with them. Luckily, they scaled through. They retired with wealth and now, family becomes the main priority. 'What next?' called again asking what will happen to all the accumulated wealth when they are gone. They either get convinced or confused as regard their wealth safety.

However, a bigger question of 'what next?' is asked them, which scares them more than it had before. What next after this life? 

Maybe it is just me, maybe it is you that have not considered this. I know there is someone out there with the same peril as mine. What next? What next after school? What next after this world? The answer is always the question, WHAT NEXT?
