When you graduate, you’re confronting with many dilemmas and one of the key choice is to choose a city to live and pursue your dream. Which one will you choose? To live in a small city with a stable job and peaceful life or to live in a big city with a highly-paid job but heavy pressure?
Samuel is a graduate with two master degrees from two well-known unversities. By the time of graduation ceremony, he was confronting with the crossroad- one to choose a stable job near his hometown, the other to accept a job offer with high salary but may pose heavy pressure and even needs extra-working hour. He was good at mastering his emotion and prepared enough for both. As the stable job selection process ended at first, he succeeded in the first round and then he gave up the second choice - a well-paid job in a convenient modern big city. If you were Samuel, which would you choose?
Samuel’s choice was made within strong interference from his family as most of his family members hoped that he could work near home and stay close to them. Samuel finally gave in his family members with a certain degree of unwillingness because at least he had stayed in the big city he studied in for more than 7 years and he had already strong affection for it. Recalling the time he spent in the laboratory, walking near the lake in the park and doing sports in the campus, he was a little regretful but finally gave up.
When you are dreaming for so many attractions such as a comfortable house, a warm family in big cities, you need to strive hard and pay much for them and all those may require your strong willingness, patience and effort. If you choose a relatively stable but small city to work and live, you can pay less cost to strive for more happiness to a certain degree, but you may not able to gain so much progress as you’d imagined in a big city. A little crab jumps in a shallow river while a big fish need to swim in a deep sea, which will you choose?
