Completed Reading - 二十幾歲就定位


"二十幾歲就定位"

"拿回自己對人生的主控權,而非一直受人左右使自己的未來搖擺不定。"
"為自己的人生負責"
"自己的事情要由自己做決定"
"相信自己能力和自己選擇的自信心理"
"你的一生,除了自己,誰也不能為你負責"
"有責任感,敢作敢當、勇往直前"

This is some of the quotes from the book.

It's highly recommended to those who are in their 20s, who just get out from university or start their career for several years and who are still struggling for their goal, life and mission.

In the 90s and early 00s, people who born in the 50s or 60s commented that those who born in the 70s are not tough enough as they grow in era that are free from war and start their career in the blossoms of the 90s, which they never experienced the hardships that most of the 50s/ 60s have faced.

Nowadays, people criticised the post 80s of being naive, unrealistic, idealism etc... and most importantly they didn't know what they are really looking for...
Money? Early retirement?  Materialistic?  Dream?
Most of the post 80s are still searching for what they're really hunting for...
as they are born in the era of "lost"...

Most of the post 80s are lost, hence they are looking for money so that they could buy stuff like thought they like (i.e. Iphones, Gucci etc), going for trips, eating nice and delicious food, and hoping for an early retirement life, which are actually trends created or led by the minorities who can earn a profit from all these....
Who really know what they want?  I believe only the minorities of the post 80s have some clues to it.  Some decide to work in the performing art industry, while some insists to pursue the dream of being a musician, artist or scientist... for those who success, are usually those who know what they really want and fight towards their goal...

Post 80s are raised by being spoon feed since young.  They are taught to study and revise for examination in order to promote to high school and university.  Only those who can survive in this system could earn the chance of getting a higher education, which most of us believe these people will gain a higher chance of success in their future career or at least earn more than the norm.
Unfortunately, most of them who perform well in the public examination are unable to find their own personal goal apart from the desire to achieve as much A-grade as possible in their examination in order to move forward.

As a result, upon graduation from university, what they know is to continue working in the professional field that is equivalent to their uni curriculum i.e Doctor, Lawyer, Auditor, Engineer etc, without realizing if that is exactly what they want to be.  All they know is they could generate stable high income from their professionals.  Another option is to join the civil servant to serve the community despite these youngsters deeply complained about their bureaucratic, irresponsible and useless government.  What they know is the stable high income given by the government that covers their eyes.  Apart from these two options, the remaining ones seek for investment banking or fund related jobs.  What they all know is the huge bonus given by these institutions, while neglecting the damages/ harm that were created by these financial institutions i.e the Financial Tsunami

There is always no right or wrongs in choosing what one wants.  Yet, what we should think deeply is what do we really want for life.  Simply money? Simply enjoyment generating by materialisation?  Or does life mean more than that?

Knowledgeable life?   Fruitful life?  Happy moments with family and your beloved during a very normal chat/ home dinner?  Pursuing your real dream - to help the others, to do art/ music, to play sports, to do maths, to understand the philosophy and to better understand the world?

All we need, no matter you belonged to the post 80s or not, is to get control of your life.  It's you who can decide what you want for your life and to be responsible for what you've decided.  Once you make up your mind, go ahead without turning back.

We would be the most powerful beings to change our world and life when we found ourselves.
