NUS要不要去?

昨天收到了NUS的信,我被录取进art&social science了,虽然是第一志愿,里面包含了我想读的心理学,可是老实说我并没有开心的感觉...那种感觉我自己也没有办法解释,好像是被逼去新加坡读得那样。

父母总是不能了解我们的想法,认为只要是大学随便进去读个学位出来就能保住一辈子的饭碗,纵使那不是你的兴趣所在,也不是你所擅长的,甚至是你最讨厌的也无所谓,只要有学校愿意让你进去读,学费又便宜就好...唉,人真的不能有理想,有抱负吗?还是现实和梦想就永远只能像太阳和月亮一样永远不可能相逢?

梦想,在两三年前我就已经放弃了一个,之后曾经迷失了很久,才好不容易找到了一个新的目标。现在的我,还经得起再一次的妥协吗?有一种感觉,叫做妒嫉,听说是很可怕的,而我,竟然开始妒嫉起爱因斯坦、比尔盖兹、陈徽崇老师来了,因为他们可以将他们的一生奉献给了他们的梦想。为什么我竟不可以?

某某人说过,要一个人去做他不喜欢的工作是等于在浪费人力资源,因为人总是尽心尽力地把想做的事做好,就算要历尽千辛万苦;而对于不想做的事,总是少了一股干劲。我想世界经济萧条应该多少和这有一点关系吧!那是不是代表着世界上有很多人其实是在被迫作他们不喜欢的工作呢?当每个人都一头地栽进所谓的世界趋势的时候,是否有人曾经扪心自问:这些适合我吗?抑或有人狠心的背叛了自己,向钱看齐呢?

我承认自己的反骨,很多东西越是逼我,我就越不肯低头屈服,这是我所引以为傲的倔强性格。我独立,即使自身离乡背井也不怕,我已经花六年的时间证明。我不是甘于被关在铁窗中的笼中鸟,因为我感觉得到世界在向我招手。我怕只要我一妥协,牢笼的门就会被关上,再也走不出去,我只能无奈的成为一只井底之蛙。我不要......我要飞,越远越好,不是因为厌倦自己温暖的家,也不是因为不眷恋这里的友情,而是想看看看着美丽的世界,用我的青春为未来填上丰富的色彩,让我的光芒得以照耀世界!

哈哈,好像很伟大酱。可是,人因梦想而伟大啊!虽然“梦想又不能当饭吃”这句话听妈说了几千几万遍,像几千几万桶冷水浇在身上那样,我已懒得去争辩,我还是相信我自己,因为我从来都只相信我自己的。

曾经有个传说...在关心的人手里画圈圈,下辈子就会再见面。如果是真的,我要在你手里画很多很多圈圈,因为不只下辈子,下下辈子,下下下辈子我都要再认识你...

Great story very meaningful. Take a moment to read and reflect.

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow...He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

Time went by...the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree everyday. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he lookedsad. "Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy. " I am no longer a kid, I don't play around trees anymore." The boy replied, "I want toys. I need money to buy them." "Sorry, but I don't have money...but you can pick all my apples and sell them,so you will have money." The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.

One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. "Come and play with me," the tree said. "I don't have time to play. I have to work for family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?" "Sorry, but I don't havwe a house. but you can chop off my branches to build your house." So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.

One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. "Come and play with me!" the tree said. "I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?" "Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy." So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.

Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. "Sorry, my boy. But I don't have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you..." the tree said. "I don't have teeth to bite," the boy replied. "No more trunk for you to climbed on," "I am too old for that now," the boy said. "I really can't give you anything...the only thing left is my dying roots," the tree said with tears. "I don't need much now, just a place to rest. Iam tired after all these years," The boy replied. "Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, come, sit down with me and rest." The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears......

This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad...When we grown up, we left them...only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy. You may think the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parent.

Hope it means something to you!

有一种爱,即使我们付出所有也无法报答,那,就是父母的爱,因为,父母原以为子女做任何事情。
