What's Your Choice

Today is the last weekday of this week, all have to be done is done except those unexecutable. Next week Didier will be back, I made a review of my work and prepared questions to discuss. I don’t know if he will blame me or appraise me, I think I have done my best to finish my job. Bing always said French people like to give assignments without thinking about feasibility of execution. That’s some kind of true, but still I have to do it and finish it, bosses just need results.
It’s 4:54 pm now, I’m in the office, our leave time is 6:30, Lipeng has already left. I may have to wait till about 6:00 though there’s nothing I can or want to do. The day after tomorrow is Chinese Valentine’s Day, a good time for dating, but I’d rather go nowhere but sit in front of a computer watching a movie or American soap opera. Watch a movie last night, the Bourne’s Identity, it’s pretty good, I suggest you watch it if you didn’t do that before. Many classmate in IE asked in the QQ group and by short message about the report of internship. It’s said that we have to write internship diary to record our improvement like what we have learned and our suggestions for company, etc. The essential file we have to hand in is the internship report, I just remember this. Actually I paid very little attention to these paper things required by department in school, after working for a month, I feel that I’m far and far away from a student, even I live in the dormitory, I feel like I have graduated for a long time. I don’t even want to believe I still have courses after September. Now I just want to get into real business as soon as possible, seems my rest life will be a business man, that’s actually not the only choice I want to make. Many people tell me that they are confused about their future, they don’t know which kind of life they should choose, they feel lost in the real society, actually I’m no exception, I feel lost as they do. After graduation, there are so many choices, so many uncertainties, you may be afraid of choosing a wrong path, but at the same time, you suffer from sacrifice your real interest, pursue money or interest? It’s not easy to get an answer. You may say we can choose both, but the reality is there is no combination of both at most of the time. So what are we going to do?
I asked Huixiang about his opinion on first job, he said I have to find an interested area and stay in that area until I understand the whole process of making money and master the critical skills of that area like sales and design in his business. His philosophy is very simple, keep diligent, and never give up. He didn’t have any high education, but now he has his own company and is developing well while most of his high school classmates are expecting to have salary promotion. What would you think about this? Do college students are too well educated so that they don’t have the courage to give up the chance to work for a big company? Less educated got nothing to loose, so they can do anything they want to improve their life. Well educated people are in the middle of the society and they are satisfied, if they want to make big improvements, their risk may be much bigger than those less educated. what do you think?
