aspiration essay

“Mistakes are not failures. Quitting is the true failure.” I had learnt this from a man which located in England. He put this phrase on the blog and I go through his profile. His words are absolutely right. Because of his phrases, I have to start my path towards my goal.
How to start my path towards my goal? It is hard to make decision. Although “mistakes are not failures”, but I can’t take any mistake again. I had set my goal as an investment analyst. To be a success investment analyst, I have to know what investment is. According to Wikipedia, investment is the commitment of money or capital to purchase financial instruments or other assets in order to gain profitable returns in form of interest, income, or appreciation of the value of the instrument. It is related to saving or deferring consumption. Investment is involved in many areas of the economy, such as business management and finance no matter for households, firms, or governments. An investment involves the choice by an individual or an organization such as a pension fund, after some analysis or thought, to place or lend money in a vehicle, instrument or asset, such as property, commodity, stock, bond, financial derivatives (e.g. futures or options), or the foreign asset denominated in foreign currency, that has certain level of risk and provides the possibility of generating returns over a period of time.  I can’t know well on it by words, so I will put a lot of afford on it.
Why I will choose finance as my main field? I think I am born with the talent of knowing well in Mathematics. My path toward my goal may have gone through a detour, but I believe that my decision to take up an Finance with Multimedia in this institute will place me on the right path, allowing me to improve on my skills and to realize my dreams.
Beginning of the age of 16, I had made decision to continue science stream which is contain biology, physics and chemistry. As my sister said, if I am choosing science stream in Form 5, I still can change to art stream in University. Unfortunately, I knew that I had made wrong decision. I am not interested on the science, especially Biology. Although I worked hard on it, I still can’t get distinction on it. Luckily, I got credit in Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM). This is the first mistake that gone to change my life. But, what I hope is, I can continue my education and won’t let my parents disappointed on me.
Since young, I always get an A+ in my Mathematics. In fact, I got an A1 in Mathematics and B3 in Additional Mathematics from Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM). In case of my Mathematics is better than my Science, I should choose art stream in my university life. So, I had chosen Foundation in Management in Multimedia University for my foundation year. My parents and siblings support me to take this course.
After I had finished my foundation, I have decided what courses I should take in Bachelor. I list out all the courses that I will take. In my list, “Accounting”, “Banking and Finance”, “Finance with Multimedia”, “Management with Multimedia” and “Media Innovation and Entrepreneurship” is listed. My goal is to being a success investment analyst. So, I put “Finance with Multimedia” as my first choice. My actual offer letter haven’t release, it still is a provisional offer letter. What I hope is, I can get it for my main field.
I still not know well in finance. What that need to contributing in financial service landscape and the country? As I know, the financial services sector is a major contributor to Ireland’s economic wealth, increasing its share of GDP even as the country experienced rapid economic growth. If we increasing our gross investment, our country’s GDP will increase. That’s mean our consumption is increasing, so our country’s economy will increase.
I take note from Chicago Fed Letter, (the role of financial services in economic growth); academics and policymakers have shown an increasing interest in the role that a well-developed financial sector might play in defining a path of economic development characterized by sustainable, long-run economic growth. We should measure the relationship between the growth rate and indicators of legal quality, banking regulatory restrictions, bank and capital market efficiency, and government ownership in banking for a set of countries between years by years.
Beside this, I will do all my best to become an investment analyst. Not just for my aspirations, it also for my lovely country. An investment analyst s is a person who performs financial analysis for external or internal clients as a core part of the job. In case in I have to do this all, I will try my best for my external and internal clients. Since I haven’t start to being an investment analyst, I have to work hard on it. I really like this course very much. Finance is the goal that I haven’t reached and I will go through on it and learn it from institute.  
My aspiration is to do well in financial service and do well in my education. I hope that I didn’t do a mistake in chosen field because I really wish that I can be a well investment analyst.
