Lessons learnt - Zokuchan

Throughout the years, these are the most important lessons I've learnt:

1. You cannot expect every 17-year-old to figure out which career path that he or she wants to take, so do wonder about what you want to do, but don't fret if what you pick is wrong for the moment. because...
   

2. There will always be a way to deal with your Bachelor degree or whatever degrees that you've obtained or anything that happens to you. there will come a point when you realize that you're in total control of your life and no one can restrain you from living your life the way you want but you yourself. you can take the risk and throw away everything and start all over again, or you can learn how to make use of what you have in the most favorable way possible.

3. This is from my previous boss/favorite brother actually...when you decide on a job or a career path, look up to those who are successful in following that path and ask yourself "do I really want to become like that one day?". such a simple question but it can surely tell you a lot about whether you’re going to like your job and passionate about it and willing to put up with the boring tasks involved.
   “every job will have boring parts, but with passion, you can totally pull through.”
   (side note: my boss asked me that question and I just immediately said “no, I don’t want to be like you, or anyone at the firm.” and it surprised me how I could promptly respond.)

4. Be responsible. once you prove yourself as a very reliable person to your parents, your friends, your family and most importantly, yourself, you will definitely feel more confident in living the way you want and striving for the dreams you have. your parents may not always agree with you but I’m pretty sure they will just let you live your life eventually. better prove to them that you are different from the image they expect but you can still live just as fine.

5. SHARE. (edited: I mean sharing your stories, not sharing this note smh) this is actually one of my biggest flaws but really, do share your stories with people. ask for advice. talk to your closed ones. they may not bring any new to the table but to know that they have your back and they will support you regardless of the road you choose will boost your energy in a very indescribable way. and, just because humans are primates and primates tend to stay in groups and be dependent of each other so...it’s something we’re born with, why don’t you utilize it?
