It has been awhile since my last post. The reason why I hold myself from writing is due to the lacking of ideas and I have less ideas to express. I want to maintain the quality of work by having real content in my writing than just writing for the purpose of writing. Just want to make sure that my writing is worth reading, even a manual on how to build a rack has its purpose!
Let's get into the topic. The thing that I want to voice out today is regarding the decision of choosing English Language as my major in bachelor degree. For your information, I am currently having my internship in a private school. IT is different when you work in a school and in a corporate, the field is different, but the most important thing is that people in different field they have different kind of mindset with them. People in the school are mostly educators. Set aside of how much they made, they shared their mind on how to shape a better community by teaching and building the students well being and also their achievement in various performances. For them, the best revenue is knowledge.
In school, I had time where I spent with other teachers during the lunch break. They questioned about my major and why you choose English as your major. And of course, I explained my thoughts to them.
P.S. I used to be a science student.
First thing first, I do enjoy study science but there is limitation in it. It is okay for me to make science as part of my hobby and have my own research in this field. but there is a problem for me if I am going to make it my major. I found that I enjoy science better when I am studying it in a way that there is no academic stress on it.
Second, I like to observe how people talk and express themselves. To understand people in a better way, I need to understand the language that they use to express themselves. Understand the essence of the language and a heart with willingness to hear is the best way to understand what people are trying to say. The word expressed doesn't always mean the truth, by observing people you get to know the reason they are holding themselves back from expressing their heart. One, it might be due to the language problem, they are not sure about the word choice to use to construct a sentence that can express their feeling. Another reason will just be they wanna keep the truth with themselves but at the same time giving out the idea or concept.
These situations work when you are the audience, what if today you are the one who are going to do the speaking and expressing job? Well, having the psychology of knowing how to speak the right thing at the right moment and a good command in language will ease your job VERY WELL.
An extension to the second point:
Other than knowing how to speak, one has to know how to write. Writing is the best way to express oneself. Don't you feel better when you are able to write your mind on a piece of paper or in your diary? You write to express, let people know what you are thinking about. You might inspire people with your writing! So if you have a good command of language, writing will come in handy. For me, I always hope that my work can bring laughter among people or at least broaden their mind by providing information. Everyone has their own style in writing and I encourage people to write to expand their knowledge and eventually they will get used to it.

These are plenty of my mind regarding the topic. Most importantly, try to express yourself by saying it out, or if not, write down your thoughts. Your mind always matter.
