The vast majority of families have absolutely no awareness of this year’s landscape when it comes to choosing majors and navigating graduation.
As a result, the decisions they make are bafflingly off the mark.
I can only say that 99.99% of families easily fall into the trap of limited perspective and irrational thinking — and that prevents them from making the right choices for their children. In the end, they ruin a lifetime.
Understand this: the choice of major and the career planning after graduation are one thousand times more important than which school you attend. Get this wrong, and all those years of study are essentially wasted.
On the flip side — I, Master Chi, have been bombarded with messages these past few days, barely having time to eat or rest. Every few minutes, another friend or reader is asking me to urgently read their child’s life pattern and destiny framework to make sure they get their major and career path right.
Some of these families I’ve worked with before. Others only realized — after seeing their child’s exam results — that it was finally time to get serious about life planning.
But after consulting with me, the parents almost invariably experience a sudden clarity. The anxiety lifts. And the children finally know exactly what specific efforts to make going forward.
The thing I’ve been saying most often to both parents and children these past few days is: stop agonizing over the grades. What’s done is done — accept it with a calm heart.
The key is to take that reality as your starting point and quickly make rational, forward-thinking, practical arrangements.
Four years of genuine effort in university — and a less prestigious school is absolutely not a problem. You can still catch up. Don’t be afraid of it.
Life is a marathon. Some people charge hard at the start; others build momentum as they go. Every path is different.
But the critical question is: can you clearly identify the pace and the lane that truly suit you?
That question requires you to seriously engage a noble benefactor (Gui Ren) — someone who can carefully analyze and guide you.
If you only want to make decisions for your child on your own, then Master Chi’s article from yesterday is more than enough to answer your questions — “One Article Cuts Through It All: The Best Advice on Choosing Your University Major — Read It and Finally Put Your Mind at Ease.”
