Imagine! A treasure box is laid on the road. And around it there are many keys to open it. Then what are you going to do? Of course, we, including me, will pick up one of the keys and try to open it. Try and Try. Finally it will be opened and we can enjoy the moment of pleasure to have treasures.
Yes. In this fascinating situation, Can you guess what the treasure box is? It's YOU! who has a great potential. As many experts have mentioned, every person has his own ability. So everybody is a priceless treasure box. Then what is the key? As I told you there can be many keys to open it. But in this time, the key I really want to tell you is to draw your own life roadmap, a map which shows the roads in your life. It is related to your vision, goal, dream.. etc.
Ordinally I had very ambiguous thoughts about my future. So the question that asked me to explain my future made me dizzy. But one day, A professor said to me, “When you feel vagueness about something you can open your imagination.” and gave me homework to draw my roadmap between 20 and 40. Although it was a burden I tried grasping a pencil for it.
To help your understanding, let me tell my roadmap briefly. My keywords are 'sharing' and 'global'. So being a student, I try to participate in many extracurricular activities and community service to share my youth. For the global dream, I try to make English my second mother language. After graduating from university, I‘ll work in an agency that helps developing countries like 'KOICA'. Then someday based on the experience and knowledge I'll attend an international conference.
I know my roadmap is somewhat awkward. But what is the most important is trying. I'm sure after trying it, you can feel your own sense of achievement that you didn't know before. Begin. And you'll get to redraw it until it will satisfy you. Then looking at your own map you can find your mentor who walked the way in advance or bring it to your professor and receive the feedback or advice.
By using the simple key to open your treasure box you can find your own precious value. Why don't we open it together? Then to acquire the maximum amount of pleasure, let's devote ourself to actualizing it. You know pleasure will not last without steady action. Let's feel the true value of every moment with action.
