Stay determined.

I believe every graduated student would have to make a huge decision about their future career, well, i'm at that stage too. 

I believe this is a really hard stage for us all. A few months ago, high school examinations were the only thing we have to worry about, and just within a few months, we have to decide our future. We have to go through so much at this stage, all the seniors and oldies giving us different advices and opinions, parents forcing us to be something we have completely no interest of, we don't know what we want, we're afraid that we might make the wrong choice, etc. 

I was at that stage, i had to make a decision. After i'm sure of what i want, everyone just came in front of me and told me 

That's not a good choice

There's no bright future in that

You're worth more than that

That's something average people do

I see no bright future in that

I'm not supporting you

Well, you know what? Who cares! Who cares what other people say? My parents' friends can give me opinions that i wouldn't be happy to hear, even my own friends can. But it doesn't matter to me. 

Look, everyone can tell me what to do, they can say anything they want and make it sound easy, they can tell me what i'm doing is stupid, but who are they to tell me what to do? Sometimes you just can't take what people say too seriously. Just because you said by being a doctor i'll surely be successful, then i must be a doctor? No. Just because my future career doesn't have a name that's up above like doctors or lawyers doesn't mean i won't get to be successful. 

Imagine the founder of Starbucks said : "i'm going to make coffee and i'm going to be rich!" before starting this whole Starbucks thing, i don't think people would say anything nice but make it sound like a joke. 

I truly believe that there are possibilities in everything we do, so don't change your mind just because someone said you wouldn't archive anything in what you're going to do. Don't change your mind because people tell you that you can't be more than what you imagine you can be. 

a judgement can affect you for a minute ; a decision can affect you for a lifetime.

Are you going to be a lawyer for the rest of your life when all you ever wanted to be was an actor? I'm not going to hate my job and myself for the rest of my life just because someone said something to turn me down. I'd rather find a job that makes me happy than earning lots of money but hating my job. 

Maybe someday i'll be successful, or maybe i might not, but i know i'm gonna fight for what i want. I don't have to prove anyone wrong, proving someone is just like someone's judgement, they only last for a minute, it doesn't matter to them, because it's my life, not theirs. 

I'm gonna do what i want because it's what i want and it makes me happy, not because i want to prove people wrong. Not letting anyone make me change my mind, stay determined, that's what i'm going to do.




Faith, trust, hard work, and little lifts from God.
Wish me luck! :)
