想东想西

我头脑有点简单,往往只会从一个角度去看待每件事情。 所以我的老妈常说我“没有办法‘继承’她的头脑,脑筋转得不够快。反而跟老爸一样‘直’的要死”。但我觉得,做一个很‘直’的人并没有什么问题。我倒觉得‘直’可以让我很明确的分清对错,对我来说,黑与白之间永远没有灰色地带。

最近思绪又开始乱了,有事没事又在那里想东想西。脑子里的人生大道理比老爸还多,但很快的,全都会随着风和云一起飘走,一个都留不住。使我认为我老在浪费时间想些有的没的。

会考渐渐逼近,难免会因为以往的经历而感到有所恐惧。害怕明年又要再一次失意,害怕明年新年又要低着头面对亲友,害怕知道是我自己亲手毁了自己的前途,害怕5年前的历史又要重演。那么多害怕,那么多恐惧,有时想到这里,我都快被压力压得喘不过气。为了减压,我就拿Sudoku来玩,却又被看成无心读书。想解释也不知从何说起,唯一能做的也就只有无奈的笑着。

开始觉得上学是在浪费时间,我宁愿自己在家里读。

曾经理智气壮的辩解,认为我才是对的,但闹翻后再来看看,再反省,发现其实我才是坏人,我才是那个令我讨厌的坏人。我没有顾及别人的感受,我眼里只有我,我是自私的,我才是坏人。可我不会后悔我做的决定,因为我想像老妈一样潇洒,从不为自己的决定而感到后悔。所以我有我的原则,我就必须坚守着,若我违背了我的原则而后悔,我就是在伤害自己。但愿毕业后能够振作,重新开始。:P

5年的长跑即将结束。下个月就是会考了。感谢Miss Soh昨天再一次的把年头表扬那些会考取得好成绩的Power Point播出来,提醒了我今年我一开始就定下的目标∶我要我的名字出现在明年表扬好成绩时的Power Point里。我现在充满了斗志,现在是长跑的最后一圈了,我必须全力以赴!

(((Go Go Go!!!)))

Interest or not

I think its a trend of thought going around in this family. This big family that doesn't consist solely the four and four of us only, but the whole group of relatives that I love to spend my time with.

Even though I consider that we are one big family, we are break-up into five individual groups of four, scattered around in many different parts of Singapore. Therefore I think that "家家有本难念的经" still applies to us.

After reading my cousin's blog, I realised that my mum and most of her siblings shared the same kind of thought. They would just keep preaching to their kids: "Don't just pursue anything for mere interest, it won't get you far, it won't give you a good life in the future, it won't.... it won't.... it won't...." I was wondering, why stop a child from doing something they like? Why condemn a child's right from pursuing their interest?

Of course I won't try to be sarcastic about it, however, part of me agrees and disagrees with this sentence to a certain extent. (I hope that my tone ain't sound like I'm doing SS here :D)

I disagree because I think a child, no... not only a child, EVERYONE has the right to pursue their career based on interest. It has yet to be proven that someone will not lead a good life just because they pursue a career based on their interest.

As matter of fact, I think people who applied for a job for the purpose of life jacket, without having that passion for the particular job would thus lead to unhappiness while working. If not then why would statistic show that many people dislike their jobs? And why would statistic show that many people have no passion for their job?

If we look deeper into the problem, it might also lead to economic growth of the country. Which I'm NOT going into it, if I do, I'm really on the verge of writing a Social Studies report in which I don't wanna. Thus, interest is important too.

On the other hand, I agrees because all parents have been through hardships. And they don't want their children to follow their footsteps and suffer.

To them, they think they know what is best for the kid. To them, passion and interest are something that could be developed over the time. What's most important is to ensure the child to have a stable job when they proceed into the society. Thus they feel that they need to equip the child with every single certificate that they feel that the child deserve to have by sending them to attend various courses and classes, pushing the child to achieve something above their limit. Their very wish was to see their child being successful in the future.

With this I don't deny that parents had put in alot of effort in ensuring the child to lead a good life in the future.

Well, after my O level this year, I will be sitting at the driver's seat, facing and waiting at the crossroad for the traffic light to turn green, at the mean time choosing and deciding my next route of where I want to go. To the place where the sign states: Interest and Passion or to the place where the sign that wrote: Follow your parents.
