I swear to learn at least one new thing every year after turning 30. In fact, there are more and more people in this world who have this kind of "consensus".
From diving, photography, pottery to flamenco dancing, they all bring me different levels of fun. I have no business background, I have never been interested in mathematics, and I did not fill out a business department when I was admitted to university. I would apply for the EMBA of National Taiwan University, and I fell below the glasses of many friends. Even I myself have the feeling of falling through my glasses.
Before that, I only had a little knowledge about stocks and corporate management, and I only read Economic Daily, Business Weekly, and Commonwealth Magazine occasionally. I decided to take the exam on a temporary basis. I only had one month to prepare, and I had to take time to study under the condition of "part-time work-study". It was indeed a bit hard. After leaving the campus for so long, the main reason for wanting to enter the campus is also a bit ridiculous: I found that my friends of the same age around me have all returned to the school to study at the graduate school, and there are even some "seniors" who have passed the adolescent stage when their children After that, not only did he go back to the school to study in the graduate school, but he even worked tirelessly to study the doctoral program on the other side. The other side is fighting for the economy, and the other side is fighting for the economics and then the culture. Everyone seems to have knowledge anxiety, which should be a sign that this side is gradually becoming more civilized. Many people feel that their education is lacking after they succeed in their careers, so they continue their studies. The lack of education is not the reason why I went to school. My current job doesn't seem to require too much management wisdom. I have never dreamed of being Wang Yongqing or Bill Gates, let alone managing anyone; With an amateur spirit, I decided to continue my studies at National Taiwan University without any struggle, and chose the business school that I "did not touch" at the beginning. To put it bluntly, it’s just because I’ve always been a guy who likes changes: I always like the road I haven’t walked before, and I prefer to take the road that seems difficult and challenge the steep and unfamiliar mountains. This may be called "self-inflicted sin, not to live".
To be honest, some classes are really boring, and I’m afraid it’s more of a headache than reading Oracle. If this was a compulsory course for me when I was in college, I think I would definitely skip class to fall in love after the teacher named me. Today, in the class of my choice, my mood is very different; I often doze off in class before I go to class after a day's work. However, when I force myself to open my eyes after "nodding suddenly", there is often a sense of guilt that floods my mind and wakes me up. Because if I look around, there will always be white heads mixed in. Most of my classmates are older than me. They are the chairman or general manager of large companies. Taking notes seriously, asking questions to the teacher... A stern voice reminds me: Look! Successful people are so enterprising, then, if you are lethargic, you will be too useless! For me, who has been in the world for a long time, taking classes is like an air purifier. I like the feeling of working with a group of people for the same purpose and enjoying the feeling of independent accomplishment. That's probably why I keep learning all kinds of things that don't seem to be needed. I remember that after a certain forum, a girl asked me: "The world has changed so much now, how do we plan our careers?" I bowed my head and pondered for a long time, and promised to give her an answer in the book. To be honest, I used to be afraid to talk about the word "career planning". Because, no one's career plan will be satisfactory. Planning can't keep up with changes. Sometimes, no matter how much people care about their plans, they can't help but admit that Providence is more powerful than we are. However, if life is a river, it must be cleaned frequently so as not to block and accumulate unnecessary mud. In fact, what I am afraid of is only the kind of plan that some people teach earnestly, "You must have a job like an iron job, get married before a few years old, have two children, and be sure to receive a pension". In the past, people who talked about career planning just wanted to trap the river of life in a hard breakwater, trying to make "life planning" a financial profit and loss balance sheet, or make it appear orderly and boring. From a "normal point of view", my personal career plan is really unplanned. Not only did I live up to the expectations of my elders, but I also lived up to the choices I had made. I studied law but did not practice law. Later, I studied Chinese. After I got my master's degree, I was fortunate enough to get a job offer as a lecturer at the National University. So over the years, apart from writing, I have always had other careers. From being a reporter to being a TV and radio host, it was actually unintentional, and it had nothing to do with my childhood wishes. I never dreamed of being on TV, wearing nice clothes, and saying so many scenes. I don't know if it's ironic or not. The work I do has nothing to do with what I learned in school. However, I have walked a path that I want to walk on my own. Yes, sometimes you can only have hope if you "live up to" everyone's expectations. A person's career plan cannot be static. As long as you don't give up your right to plan your life, there will always be hope. In this ever-changing era, if you want to talk about career planning, you must understand changes. "Principles" are more important than step by step, and there must be several principles. Career planning must be planned by yourself. We are born with a mission to do what we love. Doing what we don’t love will never be successful, just like marrying someone we don’t love, no matter how stable it is, it will never be too happy. Then again, a hero should act like a hero, and the path he chooses, no matter if he succeeds or fails, must have the courage to take on it. There is no such thing as failure in the world. Even if you lose, you have to lose the way you want. 3. Understand: Even if the life path is roughly in line with your career plan, it does not necessarily mean that you will be happy and happy all the way from now on. There are always unpopular "Cheng Yaojin" coming out of the dark corners, making us overwhelmed. And the world can change so fast that we can't imagine it, and we have to maintain some kind of resilience, courage to change, and possibility to grow. The purpose of career planning is to think that you have your own life. Yes, women, grasp this principle and never give up the right to climb high and look far. If you want to have your own life. Then, challenges are bound to exist, don't think about sitting back, and don't think about putting the weight of your life on others. Neither men nor women can be immutable like stagnant water. So, maybe I just wanted to reminisce about the feeling of going to school, and I embarked on a road that I hadn't thought about. "Is this path in your career plan?" a friend asked. It doesn't seem to be included, but of course it is. Because my career planning philosophy, in short, is only the following: change what I change, accept what I accept, live life to the fullest, and never limit yourself.
