 Has she chosen correctly??? @ 5/10/2006 01:07:00 PM Everyone has a dream, has a goal. Like I mention earlier on in one of my post, I do have dream. Just that for mine, probably others see that as 'kiddish'. Probably others would feel that it is not even worth mentioning. By the way, are dreams/goals associated with the word 'ambitious'? Does one has to be real ambitious before we can achieve or move towards our destination? Am i talking sense here?
Anyway, what I wanna say today is about my cousin. She has a dream....and that is to become a song writer/arranger. I guess to become one, one has to be someone who is musically-inclined, innovative, creative, sensitive. If really that is the case, I would say that she has them all. She is always working towards her goal. She joins clubs/society/group that is directly or indirectly helping her in this field. She is always looking for schools that can lead her to the route she wants. Finally, she graduated from O Level and has a chance to further studies in this area. Too bad, she did not manage to get into her desire polytechnic. I guess this was a bad blow to her. She was given a place in another poly but probably a total different one from what she has wanted. She has to make a decision.....to stay in the current one, to get her diploma and takes off from there. Or to quit the current one, start working first then to apply for the one that she really wanted.
Everyone feels that she should continue with her current one. In our country, without paper qualifications, indeed, life would be slightly harder. You would have to work extra, double, triple hard to move up up and up. Lots would feel that since she has a chance to get her dip, she should stay and at least give that poly a try. She might find that she likes it eventually. They also feel that the money would go waste if she gives up now. Apparently, I think her family has paid up quite abit for her studies. I don't blame her family for thinking this way cos that sum of money is not just peanuts, though it is not consider a very very huge sum. But then again, it is hard-earned money, you know?
A small number of them gave their advices to her,too. Welllll....I contributed to that small number. We feel that if indeed the current one is really something that she does not like and has no interest at all, 'forcing' herself to stay is is probably 'an agony'. We might say that she just need to pass through 2/3 years of her studies. For people who do not like that something, 2/3 years seems decades.
In her mind, she has already chosen what she wanted. She just need someone to back her up thus in the end, she gave up the place.
I was like her too. Though I do not know my path very clear and honestly do not know how to work towards it, in my mind, I had always wanted to be a teacher. When I graduated from O Level that time, I was given places in a few polys plus an institute. Polys offered me courses that I am not so interested in. As for that institute, I always thought it would only be completed when I get to enter University. I would be like in the middle of the sky if I just stopped after completing my institute studies. I thought to myself back then, why force myself to study when I could not get what I want? Won't that few years be an agony for me? I thought and thought and thought.....in the end, I chose nothing. I decided to start my working life then.
Now when I think back and look at my best friend, she is doing very very well. She is a teacher now. She completed her studies at the institute, continued at NIE and finally become a teacher. If I had been clear of what I really wanted, have been more receptive with other people's suggestion and then really put on my thinking cap and consider through, I might not be what I am today. I might have really achieved my goal of being a teacher and be proud of myself and not think lowly of myself now. Welllll.....I am not very bad also. I had a stable job, earns a proper pay, got my own HDB flat (but still paying).
So, what should we do when we were given options, choices? How do we determine if what we have chosen is really meant to be ours? Who can really say that what we have chosen is correct?
Basically, this is life. We have to be responsible of our own life. If you have chosen a particular route, don't look back. Just go all out and have it done. At least, when you look back, you won't end up sighing.
Correct?
