This morning, I read a piece of news that a 25-year-old Tsinghua University graduate accepted a job as a chengguan. Honestly, it struck me for a graduate from so prestigious a university taking such grassroots job.Meanwhile, I appreciated his courage not being scared of the pressure came from family or society.
One year ago,I graduated as an undergraduate but never entered into a real labour market. The day when we celebrated the first anniversary of graduation, about fifty percent classmates gathered together from different cities.It was just only one year,but we all changed with times.Some choosed to be civil servant, two girl had already gave birth to a baby,one decided to go abroad for further studying and some quit the first job. Six like me remained in university to study further hoping one day could do something particular in us field.
when eating, we all talked about the situation and changes after leaving from school, ranging from if single or not to the present occupations,to something else.Even it was in a mess,right then talking with classmates about it also made us excited. After that, I have been thinking why my generation are so optimistic when confronted with roadblocks.Maybe we are too young to understand the real life. Maybe we just know it is all about our own choice leading us to live a life we want from deep inside of us whether it is a common or an inspired life. All I need to do is to walk along the rails I choose and not to take a look back or envy others' life.
It was always a topic whether or not you were in a romantic relationship at such gatherings.After all we all reached the point when we should think about the marriage and choose Mr. right(Mrs.right) to accompany us beautifully through the long life.However,it is a common situation in which few of us really are in a relationship. Seemly, we are emotionally immature and not competent to deal with the problems came with the relationship.
Enjoying the freedom is one of the reasons as well. Interestingly, we all have no idea about what to do when parents getting on our case about GF or BF and many of us were arranged for parents to go on a blind date though most turned out to be nothing. Only one man entered into marriage, saying that it's nothing about love but just resigned himself to his parent's requirment when asked how much he loved the woman. Hearing that, suddenly there was no sound.For most of us, we would rather be single till die than live with a man or woman we didn't love.What life will be if there is no love in a marriage?
Occupation is another routine communication.Some worked in the hospital, some took on job having nothing related about our major,some served as civil servant,and some were unemployed.Some became better and better after overcoming the obstacles when some choosed to live a ordinary life.Also, some were in a low mood having no confidence in self after a string of failure totally different from the guys full of inspiration when in school.
Just as is sung in the song, we will fly high only after we give up on being a perfectionist!
