The Conscious
Tree leaves turned to yellow and red and then fell. In Durham, NH, USA, the campus view was very beautiful as usual. I was sitting in the classroom in 2019 Fall semester at the University of New Hampshire(UNH). The strategic management ADMN 700 was the milestone class for the business administration major. That late afternoon I was sitting on the front row listening to professors’ lecture. My mind was flying away after 30 mins. Compared with accounting and computer programming, this class is fairly easy. Suddenly, a key term came into my ear from the professor. “The five year plan”, “The personal five year plan”.
Based on where I came from, the term "Five-Year Plan" is always there. Meanwhile, From business perspective, a five year plan setup is not uncommon. In the US, probably a few people have ever stopped to think about what the original five year plan was, the five year plans of the Soviet Union. Undoubtedly, the economic reform of the Soviet Union and its lessons will be detailed in another chapter. The action of my personal five year was inspired during that class. My personal five year essay got an A because I wrote it with my heart from within. Yes, the awareness about the future was grown based on that essay. In addition, the future of my success hinges on whether the personal five year plan can be implemented successfully.

Shahadaroba, Shahadaroba…
At some point in your life, you will become aware that some people may stay in your heart but not in your life. You loved, waited and stayed. However, when a lie and betray cut too deep, you had no way out. You had no options but to move forward.
Two very long paragraphs were written to summarize my thoughts, but I decided to not keeping them. Not every man is James B. yet every man probably has had a “Vesper Lynd” in their lives. The girl, who you can never share a love story with, created an uncaring void in your life. I hope one day the girl grow some conscience. Not knowing what is right and what wrong won’t provide any direction.
You want to pretend nothing ever happened. Maybe once you move forward one day you will be able to shock yourself that how much it was never happened. Yes, it never happened,
“ Shahadaroba…
Is the word they whisper low
Shahadaroba, Shahadaroba
Means the future
Is much better than the past …”

The Five Year Plans
I attended the baseball game on a Saturday, which was too relaxing, so I left early. After too many years of toggling difficulties and hardships, I have lost my ability to actually cherish the downtime. When the difficulties and hardship come to get you, you don’t really have time to think, you get back up and solve them one after one, brushing them like snowflakes, each one is icy cold. After dealing with them, when you are alone, you are not really cheered up by the relaxing time.
After summing it up, I felt 10 years older, so I decided to do sth. On the basis of those factors, I have decided to move forward with no regrets. I want to become stronger, smarter and richer, the strongest version of myself. From this chapter moving forward, I will not yield and will not be affected by those factors. I will learn and push myself to be at a better and bright future.
I went hard on my college degrees, I went hard on that "relationship" and I went hard on my first job.
I will push through on my next five-year plan. The clock is ticking and I have to move fast. Will you always invest money and time to learn something important? Yes. Will you put yourself second for the people you love? Maybe. Will you cross the ocean again to start a new chapter? You really don’t know the answer until you face the question. Move forward, move fast, and never look back.
