STEP 1
DITCH
THE LINE
Life, business, success is like a
nightclub. There will always be three
ways. There is the first door: this is the entrance to the main gate, There are
many opportunities in various ways to enter. many people are waiting whether
they can enter or not. They can only try and hope. There is a second door: this
is the VIP entrance, where there are lots of people who have lots of money and
famous people. then, there is a third door: this is the entrance where you have
to learn to be able to do everything, no matter how you have to pass it with
various obstacles, and if you fall then you have to try it until you can and be
satisfied as you want.
CHAPTER 1
Staring at The
Ceiling
THREE YEARS
EARLIES, MY FRESHMAN DORM ROOM
I just lay in bed, I want to study. but
because I saw a pile of my biology tasks in my desk, it felt like I was lazy to
study. I want to feel like I'm going to bed soon and pull my blanket. Biology
books are like haunting me every day, because the longer I'm afraid to open it,
but I also think more about my parents. my future plan is to become a doctor. I
have never been the smartest child in school, but I have always been consistent
with my duties because it is my redeemer.
that's
how I found my identity. I could only lie down and stare at the ceiling. I
always come to campus to get answers, but still the ones that arise are the
many questions. what really attracted me? What exactly is the direction I want?
and what do I want to do for my life? I am getting lazy to do my assignments,
but I think about how my parents are because they sacrificed themselves so much
for my school. I try not to be lazy and do it. when
I got a USC acceptance letter, my mother told me to be unable to attend the
event. my family is not a family that is poor and not a rich family. like any
other family our family lives a double life. the only reason my mother came to
USC was because before the registration day, my father talked all night with my
mother until my mother's eyes filled with tears. and she said that he would do
everything for his children's needs. the ceiling
remained silent. I was excited about myself to be active in learning. because
the only thing I want is to study. because my parents sacrificed everything. then I went to the library and tried to read and
imagine the success of a Bill Gates. think about what the bill gates reached
the peak of Mount Everest. and finally makes me think and feel scared.
"how did he take his first step to reach the top of Mount Everest? after I tried to go to the library many times, but
still. I got nothing from the many books I read. I only get bare hands. how can
they launch their careers? if no one has written what I dreamed of reading, why
don't I just write my own dreams? that's what I thought at the age of 18. it turns out it's not just me who wants answers and
looks at the ceiling. then I run the idea with my friends. And what I have in
mind is how can I complete this mission and get it done? why not call Bill Gates
and interview him or something else. but all I have in mind is, if I interview
him I don't have a lot of money and can't pay the people I interviewed. and I
have to be able to do it another way.
CHAPTER 2
The Price Is Right
Finally I went to the USC event. I just
came for the first time. many people who took part in the event, I studied
business administration in the program. I showed 8 prices. if I choose
correctly, then the gift of a hot tub for 4,912 dollars will be mine. and he
explained that the three of us who would win the round would spin the wheel.
There were twenty numbers above it. every multiple of five, up to a hundred.
Anyone who lands on the highest number will advance to the final round. If
someone turns one hundred perfectly then he will win an extra cash prize. Music
has begun and it's time for me to run into my position. I will compete with Mom
Jeans and Woo Girl. Mom became the first wheeler and he got 80 points. After
that it was my turn to become a wheel player and I got 85 points. It made me
and the audience surprised. Woo Girl was the last turn to turn the wheel, and
he got the number 55. I was surprised that I was the winner. however, I am
still struggling again to win it. I was gathered by a group of people who had
won as well as myself. He was named Tanisha, he seemed to have ruined my life
because he had won a set of dollars worth a thousand dollars, a trip with ten
thousand dollars to Japan, and he spun the wheel gets the perfect 100. When I guess the price of 30,000 dollars. and the
retail price is 31,188 dollars. I have won Tanisha with 145 dollars. how
hysterical I was when I learned that I was a lottery winner and could beat
Tanisha. who is superior to me.
CHAPTER 3
The Strorage
Closet
I
also sold my sailboat to others. And I bought Chipotle and guacamole to my
friends. But after the holiday I have to go back to school for a spring. At
that time I wanted to type a message to my parents via email, I wanted to let
them know that I wanted to move majors from premed to majoring in business. if
for other people moving majors is something big, but for me it's not a big
thing. However, my parents really wanted me to become a doctor after graduating
from school. If I send a message to them like that, I feel like I have destroyed
their big dreams. I finally sent the message, because my mother didn't reply to
my message and didn't pick up my phone, finally I went home. I apologize to my
mother, because I want what they don't want. I never knew how I lived a
business life and I also didn't know how I supported myself. my mother said
"you will never know how you should start in another country, all I know
is that if you become a doctor someday, then you will be able to be someone's
savior wherever you are. Adventure is not a career, because you will not can
ever repeat time. " Then, I told my grandmother everything. because my
grandmother is to me like my second mother. However, my grandmother turned out
to be on my side too, my grandmother said, "your mother is right, your
mother is like that because she doesn't want you to feel what you feel. If you
take the current course you want, then if you revolutionize, you lose money or
even You can lose your business, but if you become a doctor, they won't be able
to take what you know. " then, I promised my grandmother to get an MBA and
I would finish my undergraduate degree. finally my grandmother will try to talk
to my mother. Furthermore, I still think how I continue my mission. I talked
with my friends and invited them to meet me in the storage room. come Ryan,
Corwin, Kevin, Brandon and Andre that night, we sit on the floor and
brainstorm. If we get our dream university, then who will be the professor? I
also answered maybe Bill Gates who would teach business, or a Lady Gaga who
taught music or something else. after we sat for half an hour, finally my
friends finally returned to their homes. I also wrote the name on the index
card and kept it in my wallet to motivate. I will also make sure to interview
each of them at the end of summer, fuel. I will soon find myself, I probably
will never start. but that is a positive side of being naive.

That is reflecting myself. By reading your post then I was thinking "which doors actually will I choose. The half of my self shows me that I only try and hope, whuch means I am in the first door. The opposite persuades me to go to the third doors. It such a good review.😉
