Suppose that I should be studying PSY110A instead of blogging. LOL
In case if you are not a HELP psychology student, PSY110A is career guidance.
Basically, what I heard from my lecturer about tomorrow exam is more on reflective.
And there is no textbook for me to study but just a workbook for me to read up.
Nothing much to read because the workbook is consists of several tests.
So what I have learnt from this subjects? To conclude, I learnt more about myself?
From those tests, I have acquired understanding about myself more. *somehow*
Among the seven lessons in this workbook, the one that I love the most is the last lesson.
It actually taught us about to form our personal mission statement of life.
It is important for us to have a personal mission statement because it act as a guideline in life.
It leads us in our life so that we wouldn't make the wrong decision or "lost" in our life.
I didn't really follow step by step as what the workbook instructions to form the statement.
*this is because I have skipped the class to complete my assignment*
But somehow I have come for an realization about what is important for me.
I used to value friendship is more important than family.
Though friendship is also a very important element for me,
but now, I have realized the importance of family in one's life.
Hence, I see the relationships with my family members are vital.
I want to give all the best things for my family, happiness and a good livingenvironment.
In order to do that, I must have a good economic support.
So now, I have to study hard for achieving it.
Another purposes of my life is to form a family with my future husband.
For me, a woman must experience the process of giving birth and nurturing a child,
this is because I feel that these two are the mission for us, women.
Without completing these two tasks in my life, I will see my life as incomplete.
Why do I have this kind of thoughts? Maybe I'm just a typical Chinese people.
Of course, in order to let my children to live in a comfortable life, MONEY is a must.
No matter how positively you view this world, the world is meant to be difficult and harsh.
Remember a quote that I always heard when I was a child, "No Money? No Talk".
So whether you want to admit it or not, money is a must/essential to continue live in this world.
How to earn money? How to earn A LOT of money? HOW?!
Get a good job with high pay! Well, its is easy to answer but difficult to do it.
Why are the parents that desperate to send their children to college and university?
Like what my parents think, they want us to get educate so that we can find a better job in future.
It is somehow true that "certificate" act as a pass for us to get into better workplace.
Without this "pass", it is difficult for us to find a job.
But, with this "pass", it doesn't not guarantee us to find a good job though.
You got be the outstanding one, extraordinary one, or the one equipped with all the essentials skills,
to compete with others during an interview of job.
Besides of payment, we also seek for a job that we are interested in it and suit us.
Its is kinda complicated to plan our career. But, if you do it step by step, it might become simpler.
Using H.E.L.P model to plan our career, things would be easier for us :)
H- handling yourself (understand your interest, personality, skills, value)
E- exploring the job market (find out what are the jobs available outside)
L- Listing out possible options (identify its advantages and disadvantages)
P- Planning & putting it into actions (set your career's goal and JUST DO IT)
Just for your information( and also my revision),
A goal must be SMART =D
S-specific (clearly and well defined)
M-measurable (achievement must can be measure)
A-attainable (must set a goal that can achieve based your your own abilities and strengths)
R- relevant (goal must be relevant for what you want to become)
T- timeline ( set a "due date" for youself)
