Journal 8 : Advices






Whenever I want to make a decision of a problem, I usually seek the advices from many people around me. It maybe from my friends, my instructors, and my family. They often give the way that they think it is the best. 
The best advice I was given is about choosing major in university. After I finished high school, I was so confused about my next step in my life. I could not make up my mind which school or major I would attend later. My relatives gave me a lot of advices. Someone consulted me about applying for a school near home to be convenient for going and coming back home. My father wanted me to choose his old school so that I could follow his work in the future. However, my mother's opinion was different. She talked to me that I could do it by myself because I would find a suitable school for  me. Any advice was only helpful for me to collect additional information. I must choose my own way and road in the future. After that, although I chose a difficult thing for me, I have never felt regret about my decision. It was also one of the biggest lessons in my life. Be courageous to decide our own road.

  1. I was just like you when it came to choose which university to apply to and which major to study. So I just picked a college with high reputation and chose the most general major: business management =))

    I agree with you that we have to figure out our own road ourselves rather than just follow what others telling you what to do.
