Hard Choices

  In life, choice making has became one of the most difficult things for many people. Making the right choice could benefit you on the long term, but making the wrong choice could devastate you for life. People often avoid making decisions simply because they want to avoid the problems. Being able to make good choices is a very important lesson and stage in your life as your getting more mature. There are many hard choices to make, and many are caused by your own family. For example, if you were an art student, your parents would be challenging your desire to do art and try to brainwash you until you give up on something you love, and eventually become what they wanted you to have became.(lawyers, doctors, etc) In this case, it is a choice between making yourself happy, or making your parents proud. Many Asian parents would not provoke having a career in the art field, simply because the Asian society for generations, has been taught that all the successful and wealthy people are only consists of lawyers and doctors and business men. Should you let your parents down? Or should you pursue your dreams and work towards something you love? Another great example is peer pressure. Peer pressure as when you are with your friends and when they all did something, you would be persuaded and draged into doing the same actions. Your friends could all be snorting cocaine, when you clearly know its wrong to do drugs, or to even have possession of drugs, they would want everyone to participate in their activity and all of your friends would want you to try atleast once. Should you take the very first snort of your life that could change you into a drug addict and make you spend the rest of your life in a rehab facility? Or should you say no to it, and let all the other kids think you are "uncool" or a "coward". Which is the right choice here? I don't know. It is your choice to make these decisions and you are in complete responsibility for the outcome.
