Whether they are successful or not, I believe most people keep reminding others that working hard and having a better educational background would be sufficient for future life still. No matter what people’s positions are in society, like entrepreneurs, I do not doubt that working hard is essential for everyone who wants to achieve something. However, the biggest challenge I face so far is continuing to pursue my education career while I do not perceive my future path.
Even though almost all the theoretical knowledge that was concluded by former persons has been proven, from my perspective, I would instead regard that field experiment is way more crucial for the meaning of life in the world. If I am only concerned about relying on textbook knowledge, I will fail to correlate filed study with readings. For example, I enjoy watching cuisine channels from time to time. That provides me with the basic knowledge of handling knives, such as sharpening a knife, hand gestures to avoid cutting myself and so on. All these visual learning can enrich your abstract ideas and somehow subconsciously elevate your self-protection sense. However, none of those things would be genuinely formed into muscle reflex to be part of yourself. Because you don’t accidentally cut yourself once, you don’t learn the lesson. There is a saying that you can never be too careful. Without reality involvement, analytical information could only stay as theories, not an actual workable principle.
There is something that I have learnt from INTS210, which is a course provided by Capilano University. It about a coyote, the trickster. He or she is greedy for different eyes from a rabbit and a buffalo in his or her case. From my interpretation, those eyes give a tunnel vision and a broad view, respectively. Combining these two visions will provide us with more thoughtful views with different disciplines on certain things. As a matter of fact, not only do I need to be equipped with cross-field expertise, but also to everyone else. Because, from my point of view, you cannot be an expert in one field without cross-referencing other subjects’ understanding.
When it comes to future studies, I am clueless so far. I do not think what I have learnt up to this point, such as business administration, marketing, human resources management, economics, will be useful in my future life. However, I can assure you that I want to possess those backgrounds because some circumstances or situations can apply those disciplines at some point in the future.
All in all, I might have my ideas toward my education career, but I don’t have the faith that I can walk out of the maze, which is about a clear path to success. Also, I doubt that I can be successful because, until this point, I confuse about where my future is.
