241. If you knew you wouldn't fail, what
would you do?
I
wondered about my response. What if I intentionally wanted to fail? What
if I actually attempted to fail at something rather than pass? Would I fail
to accomplish the task, or would I fail in completing accomplishing my
goal? Inception, Well not exactly, but I’d like to believe so. Let me elaborate
in case you didn’t get it. So my goal here is to fail at a particular
task. But if the prompt says that I won’t fail, does that mean I won’t fail at
the task itself or the goal, in this case, is to fail the task? I’m in a bit of
confusion here, should I blame the prompt for being unclear about what they’re
looking for, or am I just mistakenly changing things up.
Assuming
the prompt is talking about a task that one wouldn’t be able to fail, I’d
choose to complete my life goal to join the aerospace field. Aerospace
engineering has been my interest since a young age, and I continue to stick
with it. It’s not an easy task but if I knew I wouldn’t fail, I’d definitely go
for this. With a lot of obstacles on the way, failure is highly likely an
option. Interestingly enough, Aerospace engineering has been a popular profession,
allowing for selective job offers. None the less, my interest in this
profession remains as it is. One reason that I thought about this was because
my friend –his name is Ruan, but that’s not very important here- and I spent
most of this winter break creating and launching model rockets. This not only
reminded me of my childhood dreams, but also of what I know I want to do
in the future. This is why failure isn’t an option for me in this situation.
Your first paragraph if though deeply makes sense but initially was a little confusing. Why do you try to make a simple topic so complicated and why would you do anything if your goal was to fail.
ReplyDeleteBut you want to become an aeronautical engineer,nice. Does australia have universities for it?
If you read my blog today there is a university coming to our school that specializes in aeronautical engineering. You should go.
I was just being a bit sarcastic and thinking a little differently.
DeleteHey, look at it this way, this was probably the deepest I've thought this entire break (which didn't involve complete concentration on games.)
I think most of your writing is good, I am not in position to say that, I liked this one the most. You started off the topic by making it more broad, however, you still made your point clear by saying what you want to be when you grow up.
ReplyDeleteNice. This article sounds like some of mine when I don't have much to write. Especially the "reverse psychology" one.
ReplyDeleteyou shouldn't blame the prompt for being unclear, I think you're just "mistakenly changing things up." However, it's really cool how you want to become an aerospace engineer! There's just one part that sounds kind-of funny,"failure is highly likely an option." Maybe you should say "possible failure is highly likely" or something like that. :)
ReplyDeleteExcuse my extremely absurd and sarcastic comment (or paragraph, rather.)
DeleteAerospace engineering is a pretty awesome future, in my opinion :)
Contradictory to what most people are saying, I actually liked how you thought deeper about the question and different manners in which you could interpret it. Sometimes you (as in people in general, not you specifically) intentionally make things more complicated than they are and maybe in this case, it helped you. (By giving you more to write about)
ReplyDeleteThe question seems to be clear. Your first paragraph could be on something more constructive.
