When it comes to a stage of life, the question they most people will ask, and even your boss will ask during interview, is what is your plan for future?
Who knows about future?
No one, with the exception of fortune tellers. *wink*
Do you know how the world with change over years?
Do you know what you are good at, if not your mother told you so?
Do you know what you want in the next 5 years, or even next year or next month?
If you do, you are indeed lucky. Most of us don't.
Education should serve as a platform to prepare us to be ready for the world. However, it now seems more like an obstacle. Why? This is because we exploit the carefree study time (at least a decade) for the sake of the build of our comfort zone.
Just because everyone goes to school and I don't want to be indifferent. Just because everyone wants a better grade and so I have to, too. No one literally tells us we can go impress girls/boys in school. No one tells us we should always learn from relationship, what I mean here is boy-girl kinda relationship. No one tells us it is a perfect time to make mistake and learn to stand up again.
This education system molds us in such a way if you can do well in study, continue with your tertiary pursuit, no other way, and make sure you complete it. Well, neither Mark Zuckerberg nor Steve Job did that. This education system makes us rigid, scare to lose out, afraid of trying and eventually losing more in term of sense of humor and creativity. Once we complete the course, we are like a ship without captain, suddenly lost of direction.
What can we do next? To restore the stability, we find a job in big company, taking salary every month and hoping not to get sacked.
Is this what you want for future? Does it sound exciting to you, at all???
If YES, God bless.
If NO, don't worry mate you are not alone, we are equally lost.
Am I being pessimistic?
Yes I am, because I think I am more than that. But I don't know what I want... *not a shame to admit*
So, why not we just take a couple of minutes off, sit down and think for ourselves? Just for ourselves. I mean, self.
