Emigration

By Coffee Kaki @askcoffeekaki
Human migration is not new.  
Human migration dates back to 2 million years. People move from one place to settle down permanently in a new location, most likely a new country. The push factor maybe due to economical, environmental and political. The pull factor is always the hope of gaining a better quality of life, a greater career path and perhaps a better environment compared to back home.
When the word "migration" pops up in a simple conversation over coffee, it will be a hot topic. Is the grass greener on the other side? Well, this million dollar question is super depending on what you hope to achieve on the other side. 
Down Under.
A country of equality, that emphasizes on fair system, safe driving, quality products and laid-back lifestyle. Maybe, I had enough of rat race in Malaysia, which I had to attend meetings that has no conclusions (9-5? It does not exist), standstill traffic jams that is unavoidable, skyrocketing inflation and seeing no ends to the Official No.1's spending. It's truly painful to the heart. 
Last week, I visited the Migration Museum in Adelaide. It was an eye-opening experience.

The wordings engraved in this monument are spot on!
We've got to have the COURAGE to make that choice, take action, let go of the familiar; our PRIDE. Keep moving forward and follow our DREAMS. The challenge facing the unknown, unleashes the power within to ACHIEVE greater things in life - learning new language, adapting to new culture and making brand new sets of friends. COURAGE is the key and it will open up our horizon to a whole new world. Be constantly uncomfortable and Just Do It!
Why stay in just one place comfortably forever? Humans are born nomads. Humans are explorers.
