Recently I saw a movie. Overall it sucked, but a conversation in one scene struck me like a lightening bolt. It was a conversation between a man and a woman. The man was very frustrated because after all the efforts he did to save his marriage, his wife still left him. So he asked this woman what women want, because he's tried his best to offer what his wife wanted, she still divorced him. The woman sat there and smiled, "We don't know what we want." Suddenly I felt like I could totally relate to her words. After I moved back to Taipei, I've received two opportunities to work in Kinmen, to teach English. Although the pay was not good, I did want to work in Kinmen, but I turned them down eventually. The main reason was that deep in my heart I know I don't want to teach English, but what's funny in the real world is that, teaching English is all I can do. Of course people say about "There's a will, there's a way" those beautiful brilliant proverbs. However, starting from the basics is never easy, especially when there's no idea where to start. That's why I could relate to the conversation between the man and woman. I know what I don't want, but I have no clue what I want. I kept declining the opportunities, but I don't know what I want to search for. I don't think I am the only person who feels this way. I am convinced there are a lot of people out there confusing what they want in life. This seems like a big topic in life. Some people may find it, some not. Hope I could be one of those who could as early as possible cause I'm kind of tired of searching. |
