Assignment1_(3): Why did you choose your major?

Choosing the major will still be hard in school life for some people. My major is CSIE (Computer Science Information Engineering), and there are two reasons for me to choose the major. First, the field is interesting. Second, I am not good enough to have a appropriate job in this field; therefore, I want to learn more professional knowledge, logic thinking, technical skills et cetera.

Before I came to NTUST, I had worked for years as assistant engineer at electric hardware deportment for Soliton Technologies Company. At that time, I learned so many things from my boss and assignments which are electronic hardware I have been given from my boss, but I was once assigned to write a software program for hardware controlling. For example, the LED light on/off, transmit or receive data from one computer to another and access data at random-access memory, and all of these actions follows programe statements. I saw many funny and interesting things that I have never learned before.

At that moment, I also realized the professional knowledge that I had known was too few, so I cannot do my job better and efficient. If you get a project, you need to know how to do or handle it correctly and efficiently. For instance, you need to know "Computer Organization" to make correct assignment for your resource, then you should learn "Algorithms," which helps you to implement request functions and makes program structure to accord the project. As mentioned above, these skills are belong to Computer Science so I designed to go back to college for increase my ability. Now I am a student of CSIE department and I am happy to learn things from my major.

There are many kinds of reasons for people to choose their major. For me, I chose my major based on pleasure, getting a better job and improving knowledge. How about you? Nor matter what reason you choose, just enjoy yourself in your major.

Free writing/Independent learning-3: A interesting paragraph "Discover the 90/10 Principle"

Yesterday I read an interesting paragraph my older sister give to me. "Discover the 90/10 principle," it talk about 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react to it. We have no control over this 10%, the other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.

For example, you cannot control a red light. But you can control your reaction. The paragraph also tells us some way to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, do not be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You do not have to let the negative comment affect you!

React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.

Assignment1: Why did you choose your major?

My major is CSIE(computer science information engineering), I choose CSIE be my major for two reasons one because it is interesting, the other one is I know I am not good enough to have a job in this field; therefore, in this field I want to learn more general knowledge, logic thinking, technical skills and so forth.

One half years ago, before I came to NTUST I had worked as assistant engineer at electric hardware deportment for Soliton Technologies CO., LTD. , a system design and integrated company, for years. At that time, I learned so many things from my boss and my assignment work, most of my works are electronic hardware but in one of our projects I had chance been assigned to do software programming, it is interesting. I can see the LED light on/off, transmit or receive data from one computer to another, read/write data in random-access memory by used computer program to control. It is real interesting.

But I also realized I knew too few knowledge to do my job better and efficient.For example, when you want to coding or programming for a project, you need to analyse your own resource, you need to know computer organization and what kind of function you are going to implement then to assign resource correct and make program structure to accord the project. All of those skills to handle a project, I had no time to learn because our company was a small company, everyone was busy and work hard including me, my boss was too busy to teach me. so I designed to go back to college for increase my ability of programming, logic thinking and computer science technical knowledge. All skills that I want to increase are in computer science field and I was luck to passed two-year technological university entrance exam, it let me became one of students of CSIE department of NTUST since one half years ago.

Now I am happy to learn things from my major. When you interesting or want to be better in something, you will let it become your major.

Free writing/Independent learning-2: A sentence from the movie "Red Corner"

I learned a sentence from the movie "Red Conner" that I saw two weeks ago. It talked about human rights.

The sentence is "I will be a part of your life whatever you go," I think in chinese it means『無論你到哪,我將會是你生活中的一部份。』

When you did something really hard or something mean special to you or have a good/bad time with someone special and both of you will remember it forever, your special friend may say this sentence to you.

I like watching movies. Learning English by watching movies is a good and relaxed way for me.

In class exercise: Who is the person you admire ?

I admire my mother because she is wise.
She usually use easy way to let me understand things that make me confused or hard to choose.
For example, when I feel stress of anything she always told me
"Everything will be fine! Follow your heart then do your best and do not be scare," and it is make me better.
Besides she always avoided trouble things at beginning. Sometimes she just knew, she knew things that you can touch or not and she always right!

To me, my mother is a great ma.
