BIG BIG dream!
soon, in another few weeks, my student life will come to an end. I will be moving on to the next phase of my life - working life, where i slog it out in the corporate world. i don't know if im really looking forward to it. but guess since i always like changes n improvement in my life, the working life can be really exciting if i seize all opportunities that come my way.
i was talking to my junior a few night ago. we talked abt work n potential companies that we would like to work in. suddenly i had a better/clearer idea of what i want to achieve in the next 24 years. (yes, if you go n calculate, i wan to retire when i am 48-50 years old). it was only then that i realised i really have an obsession with word 'largest'. Below was what i told my fren:
" I will start my career in Keppel Offshore & Marine, the world's largest rig builder. subsequently, i wan to work in GE Capital, which is the world's largest non-bank financial company (at least that's what i read on a bloomberg article). Next up, not in any order, i wan to work for
- Exxon Mobile: the world's largest oil n gas company
- Toyota: should be the world largest car company now, given the BIG 3 of USA are dying (though personally, i prefer BMW cars. haha)
- Coca-cola: owner of 4 of the world's top 5 nonalcoholic sparkling beverage brands
- Blackstone: the world leader in private equity investing
- Proctor & Gamble: should be among the world's largest consumer goods company"
so that's 7 industries in abt 24 years. Given the varied experience i have, I would love to end my career in GIC, to help grow our nation's wealth/reserves because i think it's a bit wrong if i help other sovereign wealth fund to grow their reserves n not my own country's reserve.
on top of this, i would like to spend some time in Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Li Ka Shing Foundation. this will allow me to witness how 2 of the largest foundations in the world operate in two different regions: Asia and America. Ultimately, i wan to set up my own non-profit organisation (i have not decided on the focus of my NPO, cos i have not seen enough of this world yet). if i happened to be rich enough, I would definitely love to have my own foundation to carry on my dream even when i m not around anymore.
okie, i know this blog is v crazy, sounds impossible and that I am day dreaming. haha. it's because im too lazy to study for my quizzes, so i decide to dream abit to motivate myself. haha. maybe a few years down the road, when i read this blog again, i will be reminded of this BIG BIG BIG dream that i have.
okie, back to reality
