Is the grass truly greener on the other side?
Many who know me think i am more of an artistic person than a scientific person. I like drawing, singing, watching musicals, talking and leading. I dislike being in dry, quiet, boring classes talking about scientific concepts. Sometimes, that feeling can be so intense that i just shut-off during lessons. Can't we just be more like responsive during classes and speak out more often?
Comparing subjects such as Maths with effective communication, i find that i have no qualms being myself. Its a natural thing for me to talk about issues or various tones of speech which some may feel uneasy with, prefering concepts such as maclaurin's series or gradient vectors.
Is it the right thing for me to consider change my course to an arts course? I wondered, and finally, my heart and mind have settled on an answer. No.
A very large reason why such thoughts appeared in my mind is because i do not understand what the lecturers in Maths, and especially Maths, is saying. The easy way is to ignore and run. Narrow is the path that leads to light, and sometimes, maybe too narrow.
I may not be able to get 1st class honors in my course of study. But i want to be 脚踏实地。I want to able to do well for this semester's exam. I am already looking at the exams in 2months. And the truth is, God has blessed me with talented friends around me, who are ready to lend a hand, and even support my falling ankles when i have succumbed to fear and despondency. Even in the night, there will be light. There is always hope, and that is a fact.
I will not be defeated. I will succeed. To fully utilise my assistance from my friends around me, i need to take charge of my studies. I must involve myself in the thinking processes of physics, maths, computing, and look for help when i am stuck. God has made the helps clear and evident.
Thank you----Amos, CJ, Alvin and many more...........
