Yesterday I met my friend who was formerly from HELP in the train. Honestly speaking, I was quite surprised to see him in the train at Sri Petaling LRT station as I know he is studying in UCSI currently.
It has been a long time since I met him. We are not really close but we knew each other through HELP SASA. We chat for a while until he got down from the train at Bandar Tasik Selatan LRT station.
We talked about study and our mutual friends. He asked me what made me want to study Pharmacy. I smiled and answered him because I like chemistry and I wish to be a pharmacist. FYI, he is a petroleum engineering student.
What I want to tell is, how many of them out there know exactly what they want to be in their lives. I think quite a lot of them don't know what they want actually. Some may choose to travel the path because of parents, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, society and so on. I saw few cases in the real life. Some of them who are around me, they are actually doing what they do not like at all. They don't have even the chance to choose the path they want. Those who have the chance but they have no idea about what they like, the reason given will be "This profession is good. My parents asked me to study this." or "My result is good. They asked me to study this." or "This profession can earn a lot of money in the future and I will be well-respect. So they asked me to study this." The similarities here are THEY. In short, those are not their own wills. I understand that we may not be doing what we studied but at least we are doing what we like. It is quite sarcastic to hear that "I have a good result and I should be doing sth better such as doctor, lawyer, pharmacist, dentist." Sometimes, we must consider whether we are capable to handle the life in the future. It is not because you can study so you go for medicine. I think this is actually putting down those who have the real passion to become a doctor. They are different as they are ready to help people and cope with a life as a doctor in the future.
No one can actually fix a standard by saying that those who study science are more capable. I will say it is nonsense! Those who are doing business, accounting can be better than those healthcare professionals. It just depends on our attitudes. Attitude is a very important element in order for us to succeed. If you have tried your best, you have no regret.
Btw, this is only my point of view. No offence. Have a nice day.
