Nowadays, we are experiencing faster means of transportation, communication, and other such life altering changes. Not only can we communicate with loved ones with a quick text message while taking a midterm exam, we can also finish that imperative work project by simply flipping open our laptop with one hand and adding the last touch of SPF 15 (only SPF 15 and above protects against UV rays) to our freckled noses.
Ah, such is the miraculous gift of mankind's technological, intellectual, and progressive advancement. In the wake, we are left to reap the time saving benefits, marvel in the new discoveries, and do more of what we love to do!
With the influx of ever changing ever altering choices at our fingertips it is no wonder that many people are still, left year after year, not knowing what they want to really do “when they grow up”. It was an easy decision for our fathers' father's fathers. Great, great Grand pappy was a tailor, so too, of course, was his son and on and on.
Things were simpler. Choices were of a minimum. Women stayed home with children, men went to work and roles were clearly defined and structured.
Today, the world is truly “our oyster”. Now more than ever it is possible to do anything you have ever dreamed of doing. Choose a college major, heck choose two with a minor in three. You can always change your mind, you can always rethink your plans; this is not the sign of anything other than the actions of a person who changed his or her mind. How many times in the day did you rethink your dinner menu?
There is no wrong or right in the journey of your life. There are only choices, experiences, and opportunities. People place value, judgment, etc on life. Life remains neutral. Do not let another's preconceived perceptions affect the direction of your life. You know yourself best. You know what is best for you. You always have.
If you are still searching for that dream career or life picture, it has and will always remain possible.
As I was searching for my dream career, I ventured into a few different educational pursuits. While I found them interesting, I knew after awhile that my heart was pulling me in another direction. So what if I had spent a year invested in one project. My heart was no longer in it so why stay with it merely because looking for something new would mean I'd have to start over or people in my life thought the idea ludicrous or too frightening to fathom? My ultimate happiness is worth starting anew infinitely despite what anyone or any external factor may otherwise be suggesting.
Your ultimate dreams are worth the world.
Notable as well, during these pursuits, was the observation that my classmates were a vastly diverse bunch. Some people were venturing into their first career move while others had spent 20+ years in a discipline that no longer held the same gravity. I also noticed that I was often the youngest student in my classes with the oldest diligent note taker being a gray haired grandmother finally pursuing the dreams that she had to put off due to pregnancy and motherhood. Her zest and energy for the subject was that of a youthful kindergartener, it was inspiring. It further solidified the idea that it is never too late, to start over, to change your mind, to begin anew, not now or ever.
更快捷的交通方式,更灵活的通讯手段,现今的我们正经历着这样改变生活的变化。我们不仅可以在参加期中考试时,给爱人快速地发条短信交流感情,还可以只用一只手打开笔记本电脑去完成紧急的工作,而用另一只手给生了雀斑的鼻子上涂上最后一下SPF15防晒霜(只有防晒因数15以上的才能防护紫外线.
啊,这就是人类不断积累的技术和知识进步带来的不可思议的礼物。随之而来的我们,享受着便捷的好处,惊异于新的发现,而且干着更多我们喜欢干的事
年复一年,随着千变万化的选择机会涌现在我们指端,许多人依旧不知道“他们长大了”究竟的想做什么。对我们的父辈的父辈的父辈来说,决定要容易的得多。我的曾曾祖父是个裁缝,当然他的儿子也是如此,代代相传。
过去的事情比现在简单。只有最少的选择。女人待在家里养孩子,男人出去上班,角色明白清楚。
今天,我们是真的在最有前途的时代
与以往相比,现在你更可能去做自己曾经梦想要做的事
选择一个大学专业,或者去他的,选两个专业加一个辅修,学三个也行.
你总是可以改变主意,你总是可以重新构想计划;这不代表什么,只不过是一个人改变了自己的想法
一天里你有几次重新考虑晚餐吃什么?
人生的旅途中没有什么对与错。有的只是选择,经历和机遇。
人把价值,评判强加给生活。生活本身没有对错。
不要让别人的成见影响你的生活方向
你最了解自己
你知道什么对你最合适
要永远相信自己。
如果你还在追寻梦想的事业,勾画人生蓝图,要相信梦想永远都是可能的。
当我寻找自己的梦想事业时,我斗胆闯入了几个不同的教育事业
虽然我觉得它们还有趣,过了一段时间我明白我的心在拽着我向另一方向前进。
如果我在一个计划上花了一年的时间那又怎样?
我的心不在那里了,那么为什么仅仅因为找一件新的事去做意味着我不得不从头开始,或者生活中的人会认为我的想法可笑,或者让人担心得难以了解,我就还赖在那里?不管别的什么人或者什么外界因素会有什么建议,我的终极幸福永远值得重新开始。
在这些学习过程中,同样值得注意的是,我观察到同班同学们是由各形各色不同的一群人。有些人刚刚开始职业生涯的第一项步骤,而其他人已经在一个学科干了20多年,只是这个学科不再像过去一样重要。我也注意到我经常是班里最年轻的学生,最年长埋头记笔记的,是一位灰白头发的老奶奶,她年轻时因为怀孕做妈妈无暇分身,现在终于能追求自己的梦想。她对学习的热情和精力就像幼儿园的小孩子,真是鼓舞人心。这进一步坚定了我的想法,改变观念,从头开始,再来一遍永远不算晚,现在不晚,将来也不晚。
