Daily Topic: A time that you had to change your plan/you changed your mind@20190707 I wanted to become a professor when I decided to join the doctorate program. From my childhood, I dreamt of being a scientist. I like teaching knowledge to students and never be afraid of presenting my own idea in front of audience. Also, I like physics very much and was good at it. I felt I could fit in Research circle very well. As soon as I attend the program, I found something changed. My professor was a strict person. Sometimes I felt so hypercritical. Therefore, it is hard to maintain a good relationship between us. You know, if you want to be a professor in future, you should get a recommendation letter from your recent professor at university. Since I found that my dream was broken, I changed the plan for my future’s career. I switched to focus on researcher position in some company. I tried hard to get a researcher offer. At first, I didn’t feel good about my new plan. But I can’t do anything. I never think that I will do the other job. One day, I received an offer from a favorite company. At that moment, I suddenly changed my mind. I totally gave up the dream. Recently, I don’t want to become a professor, but a scientist. As a young girl, I always stick to my plan. I found old people have seldom plan. Maybe they didn’t live in a peaceful era. This causes them to prepare for some uncontrollable situations flexibly instead of making plans. For me, changing plan sometimes means irresponsibility. Especially changing the plan which is needed to work with others. I feel ashamed to tell others that the plan has changed.
