My fellow undergrads, Lend me your eyes...

In order not to have my emo-emo post up as the first all the time, I'm here with another post.

With an argument to put forth, in fact.

I hearby make the claim that a person's major ought to be based on their love of subject, and not their grades. Simply doing well in a subject without enjoying it leads to a meaningless life based on material satisfaction, instead of the higher levels of emotional and spiritual fulfilment.

Neither should it be based on the comments (or sneers) of others, for it is not other people's lives one is living, but one's own. In such a situation, others have no right to impose their say on a person's university major. Neither is it responsible or sensible to listen to such unfounded and often negative remarks, no matter how good their intentions may be. (It must be questioned, indeed, how good their intentions may be, if they crush one's dreams and ambitions so easily into the dust without much thought for one's feelings.)

To justify the above points, I would like to conclude my argument by stating the fact that deep passion and hard work will always lead one to a meaningful and sustainable livelihood. Whereas a life based solely on material satisfaction will not last. Consider the case of lawyers turning into car or insurance agents. Need I say more?

And to the girl out there who writes better than anyone I've ever known, if you love something, it's there in your heart for a reason. Maybe at this point of time, only God knows why.

Genius is defined by the biggest successes, not the most (perceived) catastrophic failures.

The best is yet to be.
