Make a Difference or Make a Profit? My story started from year 2000 when I entered Peking University. This is one of the best universities in China with public spirit and humanistic concern which I had dreamed to enter since childhood. I am clear that my aspiration is to pursue a career dedicating in improving public service. Then, there came my first challenge. I failed to enter my preference-School of Sociology but was adjusted to study School of Management, major in Accounting. Since my career aspiration is to make a difference in society rather than make a profit, I wondered whether it would be a detour to my career goal. To solve this puzzle, I discussed my situation with our mentor. His wonderful advice was simple: try you best to understand what School of Management teaches before rejecting it. I followed this advice and studied hard, as a result, I was awarded Peking University scholarship for outstanding academic performance in my second year study. Besides, more valuably, I realized management skills, economic background and quantitative research methods I learnt from management school could be conducive to improving public administration. This is another story.
