Set a Goal?
|
Charles Chaplin, the king of comedy, once said, a day without laughter is a day wasted. As it happend, I learnd the adage last night when I felt down in the dumps. So when I got up this morning, I did the washing-up before the mirrior and smiled, saying to myself: wish you a beautiful day. A day can be happy or unhappy, why not choose to be happy? Heihei.
Since I registered the Dioenglish blog, I have kept learning English every day. It occurs to me another reasonable sentence I saw in a blog, "The worst thing to an English major is once you stop learning English, it will be rusted." I find that I am increasingly interested in English. Agnes, the friend I mentioned in my last blog, told me she couldn't translate any sentence of the thesis from her friend. I volunteered myself to have a try. Agnes sighed, "Now, you dare to try anything." (Actually she means anything about English). It seems that I really show more interests in English. It is a thesis about the view on the American Individualism. After a glance over the thesis, I found it is not difficult, at least much easier than a thesis of Chemistry a friend of mine asked me to translate.
If anyone asks me what I will do in the future, I cannot give an exact answer, for it is a question I should take careful considerations 2 or 3 years later. Nowadays a certain number of graduates‘ jobs have nothing to do with the major. For our English majors, there are three ways about the job, one is to be an English teacher, the second is to do foreign trade in coastal cities, the third, to be a translator or interpreter. Although I am not eager to find a job right now, I think I should find a way and set a goal thus I can make forward according to my future. Kind of contradictory. Because 2 0r 3 years later, everything is different, can the goal still be same? What if the situation is changed? Seems think too much. Overall, it is not wrong to learn more. Ah ha, wordy, wordy, I just cannot change my “old trouble".
Tomorrow, keep on learning English & Japanese. Time to sleep. Good night.

- i can't agree more when i read the saying by Charlie Chaplin, one of my idols and heros. yes a day without laughter is a day wasted! some psycologists even claimed that being happy is an abiliity that everone should try to obtain. i also believe happiness has nothing to do with fame and wealth, at least not an indispensable part. what is the point of living in this world? the world would be a better place if we all learn to laugh or smile every day. hehe.

- snowflying: My little beautiful friend,the title of your article is very very good.no goal ,no anything.in diffrernt stage in our lifetime ,we need set diffrerntNow the problem is more and more people are learning English, but the minority have a good knowledge of English. More people can understand English, can speak a little English, and there are so many English majors over the country. I think, what I should is to strengthen my English skills and give an edge over other competitors. If my English is just so-so, maybe when I am interviewed together with others who are better than me, the employer certainly will choose others and I will be eliminated. Darwin's theory of "survival of the fittest" is definitely applicable in our competitive society. Moreover, the minority languages have their advantages nowadays. I determin to learn Japanese as well. However, I know there must be a long way to go, I will keep on learning. Thanks for your kind words. March forward together~~

- rich: i can't agree more when i read the saying by Charlie Chaplin, one of my idols and heros. yes a day without laughter is a day wasted! some psycologistsYeah, definitely right. If you are content with your life, you will be happy. As the saying goes, tall trees catch much wind, once one becomes very famous or an upstart overnight, troubles may come along with it. The attitude towards life is of great importance to what kind of life we will lead. When we succedd, we cannot feel walk on air; while we fail, we also cannot lose our spirits. Anyway, we should keep a peaceful heart when we confront the ups and downs in our life. Wish you a happy day. Heihei.
