Today we had career talks that were really an eye-opener for me. I mean it may sound very early to decide a career, but the revelation definitely affected how i feel and totally changed my mindset. I'm sixteen and being a teenager is NOT easy at all. Yes it sounds normal, but hell yeah i really mean it. Times changed and the people are just so ZEALOUS and OBSSESS that they CONSTANTLY want to be on top. Things in life are just so erratic. You dont exactly know what may happen tomorrow. That's why you see people going all "KIASU", making sure that they have EVERYTHING just "in case" something doesnt work out. They can then depend on the other stuff that they are working on. What do i mean? Ok here's an analogy. In most of the top schools, you'll see pupils being offered like 8 or 9 or even 10 subjects. But how many do you actually need to score for your O levels? 6! Only 6! I know i'm being all pessimistic and negative. Haiz. Ok and some may say that it is actually good that pupils are taking more than 6 subjects because they can expand themselves and really push themselves far. But seriously, dont you see that this is all just an apprehension. Ok hit me in the head if you want to, but i'm just penning down my thoughts. I mean generally people are just so unsure and so insecure about what they REALLY want to do, they just do EVERYTHING! "In case" one fails in a subject, there would be other subjects for him/her to fall back on. "In case" a company folds, one would work as a part-time taxi-driver at night. "In case" one isnt good at piano, he/she would take up tap-dancing. "In case" one would be poor or go bankrupt tomorrow, he/she must grab every single free item he/she can find today. "In case" one doesnt get credit for a tiny role in the musical, he/she goes for every single audition for all the different roles. IN CASE, IN CASE, IN CASE... HAiz. I KNOW people would refute and say its more of EXPLORING and BRAOADENING the minds. Hell yeah i know that, but ponder about it, why do we actually suffer so much just to "explore"? Exploring is no longer the issue here. The issue now is on INSECURITY and UNCERTAINTY. People shoud learn to make a stand and be more confident about themselves and be self-assured about the things they do. Ok so let's get back to my story. I had the career talks and so i now hve a clearer mind of roughly how i want to lead my life when i grow up later. I want to work with the MEDIA. My interest now is to go to NTU and study in SCI( school of comm and info), specialising in public and promotional communication. Yeah that is my first choice. My second choice would be NBS (nanyang business school), specialising in marketing or human resource consulting. My third choice would be hmm maybe sch of business in SMU. LOL. Oh no, I'm ONLY 16, and im already thinking SO much.. lmao. I havent even got back my prelim results! haiz.. Im TOO far ahead.. *coming back down on earth* ok so umm before i go, a quote! First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.
