Decision

Sometimes I can't help but mull over my decision, not because I am suffering the consequences but because I am a Filipino. Being a Filipino, I was supposed to be resilient. A lot of educated Filipinos go abroad and do menial tasks, they do these for many years and they are ok with them as long as they're earning money. Compared to them, my situation was not worse, being a manager for 5 years without any promotion. As a Filipino, I could have just accepted my situation, continued to work hard and hoped for the best, I was earning anyway. But no, I chose not to settle. Maybe because, I was exposed to my non-Filipino (Western) friends/colleagues who all have at least a masters degree in their CV, who all have a feeling of self-entitlement. Was it wrong to be like them, to think that I am worth much more, I could be much more? Should I just "remain a Filipino" and stayed?
