Future

　　This morning, two of my friends and I went to Starbucks. We brought some textbooks to read because the mid-term is coming. However, after having our brunches, we changed our plan and decided to make a free-talking English conversation.
　　When we mentioned about learning progress, occupations, and future, oddly enough, it seemed that some inspiration suddenly ran into my brain. My thinking flew away from the topic. I thought of an old Japanese drama, “Yamatonadeshiko.” While the main actor still studied math in MIT, he always put full of his mind on his research. One day, his girlfriend told him, “I can’t see the you after twenty years,” then she leaved. At the time, he just got in a bottleneck on his study, and there were something happened to his family, too. So, with the sorrows, he came back to Japan and acceded his father’s fish store. Six years later, he met the main actress, whose appearance was almost as same as his ex-girlfriend. He asked her, “Can you see the me after twenty years?” She replied, “Yes, I can.” In the end of this story, the main actor had a great success in his specialty; gained celebrity, own good position and salary, and married with the main actress.
　　Actually, everyone wants to have this kind of life. Get married with ideal mate, rear outstanding children, have a coveted position, get good salary, have a house or cars… In my opinion, I don’t think it is necessary to own all the things as mentioned.
　　Everyone has his or her independent definition about a successful or ideal life. We can work hardly to reach our goals. I believe that it is important to build confidence at first. We should trust ourselves, and then we could try our best to every thing. Positive attitude is also needed. The aggressive one gets more opportunities to make dreams come true.
　　In the future, I hope I can study in graduate school, and then teach in senior high. I want to have ability to live with myself at least, so that my parents won’t worry about me. Ensuring the stable job and steady payment, I could contribute to my family and accomplish life plans. I think it is the most essential factor to be a successful or ideal life.
　　I hope when the day I graduate from this university, I can also say the same words, “I can see the me after twenty years” without doubts.
