High IQ, Low EQ

For someone who is trying very hard to be career-oriented, I am too attached to people. Honestly I don't think I can be career-oriented if I can't detach myself to others. I need to plan things and make actions by considering only myself and my wants. So, I decided to list down what I really want to do with my career, and set the course of my life in achieving everyone of them. Some of them I need to reach within the year. And I think it means closing my heart and going back to my old "rock" self. Among the list, the most important thing I want to do, hopefully before the year ends, is to go back to japan either as a student (MS) or as a professional.
