Microsoft Certified Solution Developer

Yep .. finito.. over.. done .. finished .. call it what you want .. but i’m done with this. I’m officially recognized as a Micrsoft Certified Solution Developer for .NET Platform with focus on platform security. For none ITs out there, that’s some good stuff :)

If I did learn something out of it (i mean hell beside the actual material in it), it’s that with persistance and patience you can do just about anything you’ve ever wanted. Coz for me, this was something I wanted to achieve since my highschool was over. We’re talking 6 years here! Somehow I never got the energy or the right environment to pursue this certficiation. But after starting with this new job, I think I felt the need to make a standout from the talented people around me by achieving a certification which many of them didn’t have. And with the financial support from my company (yep .. I havn’t paid a penny for any of the 5 exams), it was the right time and the right place to do it.

It’s all so relieving to get something out of your way and be able to look out in the near horizon for something else exciting and new. I mean lets face it, always looking forward to something or anticipating what the future will bring along is what life’s all about. I would feel so dead if I don’t have anything to look forward to.

So what’s next in my agenda? Well, I know exactly whats it gonna be. Yep.. my Masters degree. I haven’t decided if i’m gonna do it online or the traditional way yet. But either way, I’m ready to qualify for admission. I just got my TOEFL score results back a week ago and they were pretty amazing.

Before that, though, I feel that I need to renew my religious vows, if you know what I mean. It’s like, in order to put everything wordly I achieve in perspective, there’s gotta a religious side, or intent, to it. I’m one of those who firmly believe that none of what we do in this life matters if we’re missing out on the purpose of our existence, and I think that’s the way to feel real happiness.
