I've been mingling with people 5 or 6 years elder than me and it was fun to have a talk with them. It makes think maturely, no longer childish. It makes grow faster.
Some of them wasn't so sure about their directions, though they are already in their quarter life. They seemed to try everything in life, but they never found one. An epic fail. Because of their inability of making up your mind fast. Hence, make a decision and stick hard to it, Never find thousand and one excuses to convince yourself that you made a wrong one, instead, go all out for your decisions.
Aman is a friend who has left the country for 7 years. He went to NUS for studies and from there, he found his directions. He worked as a civil engineer and continued with Masters in Engineering after that. He is planning to do MBA soon. Well, if you're working and have to study at the same time, it is undoubtedly,tired! Imagine work from 8am to 5pm everyday and night class till 10pm and gotta get your ass to work 8pm on the next day. Assignments and thesis!!You need motivations and determination to do so! He has plans to move further to Aussie perhaps in 3 years down the road. Everything has fallen in place according to his plans. At least he has a concrete plans.
Joann is my uni mate who has very strong stance too. She is good in studies but she opted for International Relationships, she could have study Medicine etc those which are considered first class in the society, but she just chose to fulfill her passion. She just got a full scholarships to study Masters in Law, 3 years to study in a Korean University, I am so proud of her!:) She has set her mind to do this since first year.
Well, they are also people who loves nomad lifestyle. They earned enough and they traveled around the world. They don't need to build a career because they just need a little bit to survive. To build a career, you need commitments and to forego lotsa stuffs. They are still doing fine, happily leaving footprints around the world.
It all depends on what you want in life.
My bonding years in CANON will be good for me to figure out what I really want, and most of them in the working world thought it would be a good platform to start off with. It is not any Tom, Dick or Harry company after all.
The next time when I meet a working adult, I wont complaint to them how bad it is but instead telling them how proud am I to be one of the scholars.This is because every time I threw this question to the adults, they will tell me , " you are still young la, 2 years is nothing, you need a good platform and reputation to start your career etc" I don't want to feel intimidated or give them the chance to roll their eyes at me again. Like practically every adult said the same thing to me! Only those who are young and same batch thinks like me LOL :) A career and a job is different, a career is things you work passionately in,with directions while a job, you have to do it for survival.
I have to behave like an adult! :D Whom do you mingle with, shapes you :)
