My goal.

Today was long.

Yea sure it may still be 86,400 seconds in astronomical terms but time is relative, physically and figuratively.

Went for cell group in the morning and went for service after that. It was cool. Once the service ended, I went for dinner with the others and watched Star Trek the movie after that. It was awesome and nice and good. (If you think it sucks, no the movie doesnt suck. It can't drink through a straw.)

Just reached home awhile ago.

Anyway, I've been thinking about the things that have happened to me the past few weeks and they're affecting what I want to be when I grow up.

In this post, you'll get to see what I want I'm aiming for academically and how certain thoughts have crossed my mind that may be a factor in reaching my goal.

My goal academically and in my career is to become a Theoretical Physicist, people like Stephen Hawking, Einstein and Michio Kaku. You may not have heard of the last name but I see him alot in the media and I've decided I'm going to aim to do what he does.

Problem is, to reach get into theoretical physics, I need to first get a degree in pure physics and eventually branch out from there. This may seem like a direct route from what I'm doing now cause it is but that isn't the point. After sharing that I want to go into pure science in University, many have told me that it is going to be very hard to find a job. Unlike other degrees like engineering and the general degrees that can give you a job as a civil servant, the only job options I see with a degree holder in pure science is being a teacher or a researcher. I discarded the though of being a teacher and stretched out for being a researcher instead. After all, it would be a waste to get very far into theoretical and not do anything much. Then again, theoretical does not allow you to do anything much. Many people who decide to go into science at a University level decide to go into applied science because it gives them a better job opportunity at the end, like what Melissa did.

I have considered being a teacher but after thinking for awhile, I decide not to. After looking at some of the teachers in school and some of the other students in my school, I realised that it isn't quite my cup of tea to handle people like them or teach. After all, I don't want to have aquired a wealth of knowledge only to pass on to other people without first making use of the knowledge. You may think I'm being selfish of what I know but I cannot change your opinion on that.

During the past few weeks, I've seen alot of things in my life hinting for me to become a teacher, like how I would like to go back and help people in my previous schools and teach them science and how I like to help people. Maybe I should become a teacher, but I wouldn't enjoy it much. I have no passion for teaching even though I sometime help my friends who are in need.

I want to be known as a person who thinks differently from others and look at situations from another perspective, one that people hardly notices unless someone mentions them and it all makes sense. I may have or may not have achieved that because I cannot tell how other people think and compare them with mine unless everyone starts sharing their opinions. I think that being able to tink differently from other people is essential in theoretical physics, where most of the theories are idealistic but make a whole lot of sense. It has to be logical, of course and I think I'm logical. I reason alot. That may not be much but it gets me thinking and that's all I need at the moment. I want to be someone who people knows who to come to if they want an opinion from a different perspective that people can hardly see but all I get is people calling me weird or mad or crazy or talking rubbish when I say something totally opposite of how they look at things, just because it's different from how majority of the people have the same opinion as them.

Kinda sad really. No one wants to hear me speak cause all I say are things different from everyone and they get insulted or angry. Personally, it doesn't bother me if people have differing opinions. I think it's good to have differing opinions so everyone can see the full picture. What I don't like however, is people critising the things I do without a reason that I can't challenge back or without them hearing what I have to say about it first.

(Watch for abrupt end)
