I read chapter9 and 10, I thought much of my experience that transfer from other university. This experience was run a not small risk, because if I fail the examination of ICU, I have to search my new goal not as a university student. I studied economics in my previous university, but that was regretful way because I hardly think about my future. So, I have little intention toward economics, I can not set my mind be willing to study in previous university, also I want to try entrance examination again.
At my first sophomore year, I started to search about university, and also my future. University research was very effective to me, and I made up my mind that most adjustable university is may be International Christian University. It is because I can select the major besides studying. And the ELP has good reputation, I want to reinforce my English, and My cousin’s recommendation, I decided to set ICU as a short term goal. On the other hand, my future, the answer doesn’t come up. But at least, I can’t stand on previous university to study the department that not interesting. I justified the risk, because if I made it, consequence is not bad. I suspended student’s right, after that, I quit previous university to set my mind more solid I thought If I fail the exam, I’m going to work. Anyway I was tried hard. Now I thought my decision. Taking the risk is not bad because I could get the opportunity to look on myself thanks to this experience.
Chapter 10, about creativity, most important thing is not stick to mental block, more specifically, a fixed idea. I also impressed phrase “having an optimistic outlook does not mean creating rosy, unrealistic expectations of smooth sailing. Optimism at the Edge means believing that somehow, someway, the team will succeed-in the long run. In the short run, however, problems are inevitable.”
This sentence encouraged me a lot. This sentence not justified the problem but simply strengthen the long term goal!
Hi Shumpei,
返信削除Thank you for choosing to respond to these chapters. They were a little more difficult to respond to than previous chapters, I thought, but you have done a fine job. I especially enjoyed your story about taking the big risk of giving up your previous university in hopes of getting accepted by ICU. I hope ICU is proving to be a better match for you and worth the risk you took.
Ken
