We were dubbed the LEFTOVERS. During the 1997-1998 economy crash, 4 of us didn't make it to UK to continue our studies. Just recently, one of them, Allan's getting married and we had a small getogether. It's amazing that we are still friends after nearly 10 years but this is why.
Perhaps the 4 of us shared what no one else had. We were lost. We didn't know what to do from there on. And I must say, because of these other 3 people, it had made the transition and turmoil much more bearable.
Sure 4 of us were then stuck in some shitty job for at least 5-6 months. We hung on a hope that the currency would improve, but of course that proved to be frivolous. We were there for each other enduring what was probably the worst period of our lives (at that time anyways).
We did went on our own ways in the end. But the friendship and the bond is always there. Amazingly, the LEFTOVERS didn't do so bad afterall: one's getting married, one's going for Master's and one's a PhD now, and well, of course there's me :).
Sometimes things go wrong for the right reasons. Optimism do get us somewhere somehow.

One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged 'coz something terrific will come no matter how dark the present is. ;)
When there's optimism things won't be bleak because everyone would strive to achieve their goals and dreams.
thanks...i hope this can apply on me too..im currently lost as well..
