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.
