I've been thinking a lot about the different stages of life lately. People say that transitions in life are often the most difficult and crucial points~ For me, I have faced many such transitions already. Each one of them has been challenging, in different aspects. One thing that I realized is that the older you get, the more you are responsible for the choices that you make in these transitions. When you are young, even though you go through a lot of transitions, most of them you have no choice, no decision to make. You simply follow what the adults have planned for you. Therefore, however things turn out, it can not be attributed to you 100%. And although not always true, in most common situations, when you are young, the consequences of these transactions are small. So that if you make a small mistake, it's ok, and you can make changes or do different things if you should change your mind. However, as an adult, the transitions become more and more important, some of which are potentially life-changing. And also more importantly, you become responsible for your own actions. Moreover, you have to bear the consequences of whatever action you choose to take. At the moment, I'm getting very close to a very important transitional point in my life, arguably one of the most significant. That is, a transition between being a student, and becoming a member of the workforce, working full-time. In coming to this point of my life, I have already made many choices. In choosing the courses that I study at university, I more or less pre-determined my future career path. But it is when it really comes to the point to pursue the career that I have worked so hard for, that I begin to have hesitations. Not hesitations about the choices that I have made in the past, I believe I made good choices. But rather, it's about where it leads me. I struggled for a long time as for what to do. It had to be one of the most difficult choices that I have made so far. In fact, even though the decision has been made, I still have doubts about it sometimes. I sometimes think about the alternatives, and hope that I have made the right choice. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 210.246.0.37
