Confusing 24

Jialing

next month, I will turn to 25.
I often curious what most people do and think when they are at their 25.

The Chinese New Year just passed, so for me it’s the begining of the 3rd year after graduating from University. In the past 2 years, I’ve changed a couple of jobs while most of my friends still keep the same job till now.
Though I think why I changed jobs so quickly is because I know what kind of life I like and dislike.
And I just wanna tried to find the real me,
on the other hand,
I have questions to myself,such as
“Maybe I just don’t have much patience?”
“Am I sure who I am?”
“Do I really know what I want ; what I like and dislike?”
Sometimes I had very sure answers but sometimes the confidence just gone.

Look at those “great people” or “famous people”, it seems they all know what they want when they were young. And during whole thier life ,they focued on it and devoted themselves to what they want.
I don’t expect myself to be a great or famous people at all ,but I just wonder why I can’t be like them to have something I could devote to or something I could get crazy for?

Looking at people walk on the streets,everybody looks so busy…but I really don’t know does everybody know where they are going? or just I myself don’t know….

hey,ur message is so touching, actually very few of the youth know who they are, or what they should do. We’ve been facing this world filled with confusions just from the day we were born. and the biggest confusion is always ourselves. which people could really say that they really know themselves, even the famous ones. Well, all I can say to u is that, seize everyday, keep trying until the day we really find out what we like, even the day we might barely move, but at least we’ve been trying, right?
At last, to make sure that you’re not alone, I don’t knoq what I wanna do, either. I just can’t make up my mind about my major, from computer science to accouting,to nursing, and to actuary science, god know what I wanna do for the rest of my life.
