I regret to be a web designer. When I became a designer, I found I can’t design things I like, it’s limited. I find if you are interested with design, you shouldn’t do it as a job. If you design a web, you need to receive for advice from your leader or your boss, but in fact, they don’t know design. But you must get the advice to change your design. Maybe I want to be a teller.

Writing exercise

I think we should be taught more life skills in school, for example cook,clean room, repair machine, etc. recently I find some professional clean room group, they can help people to sort out and plan space reasonably, after they clean room, the room became very tidy, I think it’s worth to learn. Expect cleaning room, how to talk with others is also to be taught in school. when we graduated and started to work, we will met more different personality people. some people is low emotional quotient, they always say things that makes people feel uncomfortable but they don’t know. Speaking is an art, it’s necessary to be taught.
