看了一些文章,再加上一點反思,突然有個想法:我們所謂的精英教育少了重要的一味--冒險精神。

當然,如果冒險精神用在壞人身上,那就糟糕了,不過我想那是另外一個話題,和“需要冒險精神”這件事不衝突。

自己來的這一趟,自我感覺最良好的時候莫過於是我在倫敦打混摸魚的日子,雖然老是再換住宿,東晃西晃給履歷,斤斤計較著今天還剩多少錢可以吃飯,面試屢屢挫敗......等等,但是,內心反是充足和感恩的。那時候和一位義大利室友聊天,就有聊到這點,彼此都這麼覺得,內心欠缺的其實是自我認同,來到這裡,挑戰了自己選擇的挑戰,這才獲得了一種充實!

一切的旅程都需要個開始,而冒險精神就是促使人們展開旅程的推手。

最近面臨要回家的選擇,腦中又浮現出當初出走時的一些困擾,不知道自己未來的路想怎麼走。就算有點什麼小想法,又覺得太冒險,忍不住問自己真的承擔得起風險嗎?

也許我一直站在“在這方面想太多”的一邊吧!

i have been working on web site development since last Aug. Apart from PHP, which is what i am familiar with, i 've started to learn more about JS/CSS/HTML because there is no dedicated front-end developer (FED) available in my office. Of course don't even mention the UI designer.

to be honest, i am sure that my js code must be very messy in the professional eyes. JS is so different from the language i've learnt so far. basically the learning process is :
a. wondering if i can do it
b. looking it up on google
c. try and error
d. repeat step b and c until the task has done, or give it up and try to think of other possible solutions and re-start from step a

this kind of learning process is fine and rather commonly seen in RD's life. however, lacking of systematical learning procedure is also dangerous, at least to my feeling (ha XD). same situation applies to the way i learn CSS, but the result probably even worse.

all the frustration caused by JS/CSS remind me that i really need a time to learn them step by step. i hope at least after this job, i won't feel hesitant to say i know JS. (as to css...hmmmmmm....let it be bah~~~~lalalalala. )


p.s. 1. however, deep in my mind, i am not really happy with being away from JAVA for such a long time. i have to find another way to get there!

p.s. 2. several topics queuing now:
Android, security programming practices for web development, unit test and refactoring, Python
