Life is a corridor of possibilities

One of my exciting Aha moments was when I discovered that 'corridor' and 'curriculum' both come from the word 'currere' meaning path or course. But then I realized there's a big difference between the two.

School and university curricula are more like a tunnel, with graduation as the ultimate destination. Real life is more like a corridor, filled with doors of possibility, choice and surprise. 

As lifelong learners, we need to be intentional about designing our own growth and development journey. We can't simply rely on traditional education to guide our path. 

We need to identify our deepest passions, hone our talents, and capitalize on our strengths to find joy and fulfilment in what we do in life. 

Aha! We need to design our own life corridors.
