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,更靈活的通訊手段,現(xiàn)今的我們正經(jīng)歷著這樣改變生活的變化。我們不僅可以在參加期中考試時(shí),給愛(ài)人快速地發(fā)條短信交流感情,還可以只用一只手打開(kāi)筆記本電腦去完成緊急的工作,而用另一只手給生了雀斑的鼻子上涂上最后一下SPF15防曬霜(只有防曬因數(shù)15以上的才能防護(hù)紫外線.
啊,這就是人類不斷積累的技術(shù)和知識(shí)進(jìn)步帶來(lái)的不可思議的禮物。隨之而來(lái)的我們,享受著便捷的好處,驚異于新的發(fā)現(xiàn),而且干著更多我們喜歡干的事
年復(fù)一年,隨著千變?nèi)f化的選擇機(jī)會(huì)涌現(xiàn)在我們指端,許多人依舊不知道“他們長(zhǎng)大了”究竟的想做什么。對(duì)我們的父輩的父輩的父輩來(lái)說(shuō),決定要容易的得多。我的曾曾祖父是個(gè)裁縫,當(dāng)然他的兒子也是如此,代代相傳。
過(guò)去的事情比現(xiàn)在簡(jiǎn)單。只有最少的選擇。女人待在家里養(yǎng)孩子,男人出去上班,角色明白清楚。
今天,我們是真的在最有前途的時(shí)代
與以往相比,現(xiàn)在你更可能去做自己曾經(jīng)夢(mèng)想要做的事
選擇一個(gè)大學(xué)專業(yè),或者去他的,選兩個(gè)專業(yè)加一個(gè)輔修,學(xué)三個(gè)也行.
你總是可以改變主意,你總是可以重新構(gòu)想計(jì)劃;這不代表什么,只不過(guò)是一個(gè)人改變了自己的想法
一天里你有幾次重新考慮晚餐吃什么?
人生的旅途中沒(méi)有什么對(duì)與錯(cuò)。有的只是選擇,經(jīng)歷和機(jī)遇。
人把價(jià)值,評(píng)判強(qiáng)加給生活。生活本身沒(méi)有對(duì)錯(cuò)。
不要讓別人的成見(jiàn)影響你的生活方向
你最了解自己

要永遠(yuǎn)相信自己。
如果你還在追尋夢(mèng)想的事業(yè),勾畫(huà)人生藍(lán)圖,要相信夢(mèng)想永遠(yuǎn)都是可能的。
當(dāng)我尋找自己的夢(mèng)想事業(yè)時(shí),我斗膽闖入了幾個(gè)不同的教育事業(yè)
雖然我覺(jué)得它們還有趣,過(guò)了一段時(shí)間我明白我的心在拽著我向另一方向前進(jìn)。
如果我在一個(gè)計(jì)劃上花了一年的時(shí)間那又怎樣?
我的心不在那里了,那么為什么僅僅因?yàn)檎乙患碌氖氯プ鲆馕吨也坏貌粡念^開(kāi)始,或者生活中的人會(huì)認(rèn)為我的想法可笑,或者讓人擔(dān)心得難以了解,我就還賴在那里?不管別的什么人或者什么外界因素會(huì)有什么建議,我的終極幸福永遠(yuǎn)值得重新開(kāi)始。
在這些學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)程中,同樣值得注意的是,我觀察到同班同學(xué)們是由各形各色不同的一群人。有些人剛剛開(kāi)始職業(yè)生涯的第一項(xiàng)步驟,而其他人已經(jīng)在一個(gè)學(xué)科干了20多年,只是這個(gè)學(xué)科不再像過(guò)去一樣重要。我也注意到我經(jīng)常是班里最年輕的學(xué)生,最年長(zhǎng)埋頭記筆記的,是一位灰白頭發(fā)的老奶奶,她年輕時(shí)因?yàn)閼言凶鰦寢専o(wú)暇分身,現(xiàn)在終于能追求自己的夢(mèng)想。她對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)的熱情和精力就像幼兒園的小孩子,真是鼓舞人心。這進(jìn)一步堅(jiān)定了我的想法,改變觀念,從頭開(kāi)始,再來(lái)一遍永遠(yuǎn)不算晚,現(xiàn)在不晚,將來(lái)也不晚。
