On the way to science

Neural plasticity is definitely something phenomenal in humans. If one does not have any deprivation of neural stimulation and development, he or she should be able to rewire brain to learn something new. Certainly, it also concerns one’s exposure to various stimuli and reception of good training from exterior factors.

I suppose I will be a living example of this genre if I endure to the end. What I want to find out is also where my potentiality lies on the way to science. Equilibrium is a key to magnifying flexibility in dealing with all sorts of dilemmas. I personally had a terrifying experience while doing my undergraduate in linguistics. It was near the end of my degree but somehow I was under enormous pressure due to my perfectionism. One day after I woke up, I found my body was covered with pinkish spots all over except the face. I thought I contracted some kind of fatal disease. But it turned out my immune system was impaired because of severe pressure… Later I read some articles regarding this issue and realized one’s metal status could really affect physical conditions.

Experience makes one grow wisdom if we reflect upon our lives often. This is the road I choose and I do not want to give up at all. On the other hand, it’s good to be away from Taipei for I had seen myself trapped in a rut without too much willpower to change. Who really knows how my brain has undergone some change? Getting together with friends and enjoying a good chat is great but it would suck if the topic is never geared toward something more profound and beneficial to life. After all, my brain is different from everybody else’s, right?

On the way to science, I keep saying my prayers. I know I can make it if I hold on to the end…
