Kugan, who hails from Penang had to temporarily put his dream on hold as his family could not afford to pay the tuition fee of RM 180 ooo required for him to pursue the pilot training course. After completing his Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination, he instead pursued for a Diploma in Hotel Management at a College in Penang and worked at several hotels after graduating.

Kugan,马来西亚槟榔屿人，由于家里负担不起学习商业飞行的费用（大概要花费18万马来西亚币），他不得不先把梦想放在一边。在中考之后，他报读了酒店管理专业，毕业后辗转在几个酒店里工作了几年。

His good friend who knew about his ambition invited Kugan to join low-cost airline AirAsia Bhd hoping it will open him new opportunities. Kugan who was offered the position of despatch, did not think twice before taking up the job in 2006.

2006年，知道Kugan飞行梦的好朋友告诉他亚航招人，他觉得这对Kugan来说个机会。即使只应上了行李搬运工，Kugan也二话没说接受了。

Kugan当行李搬运工

In the same year Kugan passed the exam to become a cadet pilot but wasn’t allowed to proceed further due to a policy which required that he had served for at least 2 years at his current department. He continued carrying out despatch duties and delivering letters while still keeping alive his dream of becoming a pilot one day.

同年，Kugan通过了飞行员的基础考试，但是公司规定：必须要在同一部门干满两年以上，才可以申请转部门。所以他一边准备考试，一边继续当着行李搬运工，但是他坚信自己的飞行梦会照进现实。

Throughout the 7 years, even after numerous failures Kugan never gave up and has applied 11 times and sat for 4 qualification examinations. He successfully passed all the required exams in 2013 and was accepted into Asia Pacific Flight Training (APFT) and completed his course to become a co-pilot in June last year.

7年过去了，尽管11次转部门申请，4个资格考试都失败了，但是他都没有放弃。终于在2013年他通过了所有的考试，参加了飞行员训练计划，并在去年6月完成所有课程，正式成为了一名飞行员。

Kugan who made his first flight to Miri in August last year described he felt a combination of excitement and nervousness as he finally lived his dream.

去年8月他第一次飞米里（马来西亚地名），既紧张又激动。终于他实现了自己的梦想。

After 9 years and 11 failed attempts Kugan Tangiisuran, 31 is now able to smile after flying the Airbus A320 to more than 10 destinations around the world with 700 of flight hours under his wing.

9年的努力，11次失败，31岁的Kugan Tangiisuran 终于苦尽甘来。目前他已经驾驶空客A320飞了10多个不同的目的地，累积飞行700多个小时。

你是否和梦想渐行渐远？
