About the youth Confusing State
I went to my company’s headquarter to fulfill the entrance process today for my first job after graduating from the M.ISM program. I had the afternoon tea date with one of my university juniors, Holly, this afternoon without an advanced appointment.
She tells me that she is kind of in the state of typical youth confusion after quitting her first job in the Spring of this year. Her first job is as a sales assistant. Her company in the electric industry field in Taiwan deploys one human resource as two. And she doesn’t want this kind of unhealthy life anymore. Therefore, she decided to turn into another industry — her original professional field, applied foreign languages. She joined the NTU training course that taught people to teach the foreigners learning Chinese in English. She feels useless while weekdays due to the time merely held on weekends.
Therefore, I shared my conclusion with her with the other Uni friend, Eve. We find out that everybody thinks of themselves as useless. The others are in their fulfill lifestyle and earn a lot of wonderful experiences with their choices.
That is certainly not true but exists in everybody’s mind. For example, I joined the entrance exam of M.ISM graduate school after I worked for one year after I graduated Bachelor’s degree. Suddenly, all of my friends thought that I was determined to take on such a tremendous challenge in my life. However, I felt that I only sent out some materials about myself and waited for the results while I had nothing to do after quitting my first job because my boss respected the IT professional engineers, not my business and branding skills.
That Ah-ha moment was when Eve said that wonderful sentence:[At least you tried. That’s a shred of inevitable evidence. You are doing something great.]
Here’s a thing. One professor from NTU tells us a mindset about being confused is just a necessary and normal step before you’re determined to do something. It’s just like your early morning waking up steps. You feel dizzy before you get yourself ready to go out every day. And people who are dying won’t feel confused but merely fears. Why don’t you enjoy this state, and let’s see what would happen? Trust me that you are doing something great right now! Let’s take our precious time to do something meaningful instead of thinking ourselves useless.
