Do not predict your future

"Do not predict your future."

This is what my lecturer said after attending Executive College program preview at my college two days ago. She asked question to us about our future plan for study, whether or not we want to continue study to degree. Most of my friends do not want to cause they want to enter the working environment as soon as possibly, to earn money at younger ages but some still want to continue to study cause they think graduate with diploma is not enough to compete with others when entering into working environment.

Lecturer suggest to study more cause it's really hard to survive with diploma only. My pretty lecturer is so 'geng' cause she graduate with PhD in economics, age of 24. How she do that, some said she skip her primary school. Never know it is true or not. She said do not predict your future. She said her first ambition was to be a lawyer, she even apply already but her mother protest it cause lawyer job is too stressful. So, she end up studying in accounting. She keep telling her mum she will never be a teacher but in the end, she a lecturer now.

Remind me of a movie I really like, Monster University. The story is about Mike when he was a child, he dream of becoming a scarer (a monster who enters the human world at night to scare children so their screams can be harvested for energy). But at the end something happen, Mike can't be the scarer he wanted. But he become the one of the worker in MU and part of the Scarer Team.

Like me, the first ambition I write during primary school is to become a teacher but as time passed I want to become a veterinarian. But I end up studying in business management majoring in accounting. I never known what I might be in the future but I will try my best to study the whole course until I'm graduate. This is the promise to myself! I'm still searching for somethings that suit me well, I realize I'm not good in accounting and Maths stuff. Maybe I will switch and choose to degree in business administration, who know?

Well, you never know what will happen in the future but you can prepare or create your own future. Sometimes, dream might be unexpectedly different from what we had dream of but we can drive our dream.
