yesterday has an interesting talk with a friend
(yea thats what we do for exam preparation)
seems there is a set expected formula for all people in the HK community
1. earn a university degree
2. get a job and earn money to support ur family and urself
3. buy a big house and car
4. get married and have a baby
and the baby will follow step 1-4 again
and the baby’s baby will follow step 1-4 too
generated by natural selection and some traditional thoughts,
this steps of life may have the best survival advantage
what people think is, social pressure:
1. DONT earn a university degree -> you are stupid
2. get a job and earn money to support ur family and urself –> you are not contributing to ur society and being selfish
3. buy a big house and car –> you dont have any label showing your richness
4. get married and have a baby –> you will have no one to take care of you when you are old
is it a must to follow this?
There are many things I wanna do
And what Im looking for is definitely NOT being rich or become an ibanker
sth I must do in my life:
i want to live in Japan for a year
I want to speak Japanese fluently
I want to have a job that is with low risk and high pay (XD)
I want to enjoy my life
I want to have enough sleep every day
I want to travel around the world, alone
thats what im really looking forward to.
so why i really appreciate people getting a gap year
why do we have to slave under the social expectation?
why cant I go to somewhere do some volunteer work
Why should I get straight As if it means I will have no life?
We never know how long our life would be.

then there are 36 countries even worse?
because Hong Kong is ranked 37th in following the ethics of community as her moral code, in which one is bound to live up with social expectations and action of one failing to fulfill duties that one is supposed to finish is seen as immoral.
