Do what you really like

Last Saturday we took part in a compulsory activity, which was held by school of computing in order to introduce some information about compute discipline.

An important thing we have to face is that we have to choose our discipline after our bridging course; it’s utterly a big thing because it will affect our future drastically. I can clearly remember that my father once told me that he will support my discretionary choice of my major as long as I am interested in it. To be honest, I am quite grateful to my father for his support. I have once heard that some parents force their children to choose the disciplines their children do not really like, and the reason is that parents simply think students majoring in these specific disciplines such as economics, law etc. can make more money in the future regardless of their children’s aspiration. In the case, the outcome turns out to be awful. These children spent lots of their precious time on the disciplines they were not interested in, and apparently, they couldn’t achieve what their parents expected.

Although I haven’t decided exactly which major I want to choose, I am not miserable. I have 5 months to consider it, and what I need to do is just to follow my aspiration. Just do what you want to do, and you can be what you expect to be.

  1. That's true. Interest is the best teacher, without interests, everything will become boring. We must choose carefully.

  5. The choice of major is really a problem.I am thinking about the thing all the time.The fact is that I don't know my interest.But I believe the last choice will be the best choice.

  6. Interest will go a long way in sustaining you through your academic career. However, some people also believe that people only like what they are GOOD at. This is natural.

    Personally, I chose my path through ELIMINATION. This means that I only studied Linguistics because everything else seemed not as interesting to me at the time. Different strokes for different folks!
