32-year-old, college graduate, enjoys writing in his spare time, unsure of what job to pursue?

Hello, question asker!

I didn't take the civil service exam either when I was your age. Instead, I work as a police auxiliary in my local county.

From what you've said, it seems like the questioner is either continuing their studies or changing career direction. Would it help to write out the pros and cons of the two options?

I think the questioner has certain expectations or an answer in mind when they come here to ask a question, but they just don't have the strength to act on it for the time being, right?

I'd like to share my experience. In the past, I believed I wasn't capable of it. Gradually, I realized I wasn't as capable as I thought. I also had the same concerns and awareness as the questioner. However, I've set a goal for myself: to take the civil service exam this year, which is my last year of work, and after that, to take the social worker's license and judicial exam (which is the most challenging for me as a school dropout).

So, do you want to get a job first and learn on the job? Or do you want to continue your studies and then find a job after you've finished them?

What are the different results you can expect from these two options?

The questioner can think about what would be different if you started work first and what the different feelings and results would be if you continued your studies.

I don't know the specifics of the questioner's situation, so I'll offer a few tips in the hope of providing some clarity.

First, you need to adjust your mindset and unify your body and mind.

If you make a habit of doing what you say you'll do and following through on your commitments, you'll be amazed at how quickly your self-confidence will improve.

It's important to keep your word, both to others and to yourself.

When your words and your feelings are in sync, it means that what you say reflects how you really feel.

Believe in yourself.

Confidence is really important in our lives. We can't do without it in our careers or our love lives, for example. Confidence makes people happy and gives them strength. Only by believing in yourself can you have the confidence to fulfill your dreams and love the people you love.

Confidence gives you the courage to move forward and succeed at anything.

3. Positive mental suggestion

It's important to give yourself a boost when you're facing a challenge. Stay positive and avoid negative thoughts. When you encounter difficulties, don't give up.

Keep telling yourself you can do it, you're great, you can do better. Repeat these confident words to yourself. It's an important way to build your self-confidence.

This has been backed up by psychological research.

④ Don't set the bar too high for yourself.

If our abilities don't match the job requirements or if others have high expectations of us, it can put a lot of pressure on us. We can easily fall into anxiety, internal conflict, and even self-doubt. We need to learn to lower our expectations and put ourselves in the best position to succeed. This way, we can show what we're capable of and deal with the challenges we face. The result could be some unexpected surprises and excitement.

fifth, believe in the power of accumulation.

It doesn't matter how big the stone is, it can't stop the seed from sprouting. The reason is that once the seed starts to sprout, the division of cells, although not fast, will never end. We all know the truth behind the saying "a drop of water can wear through a stone", but few of us believe it. People at the starting point are like a cell or a drop of water, but most people mistakenly believe or hope that they are powerful and sharp like a laser beam at the starting point, but this is unrealistic.

You've got to learn to be patient and wait for the long-term benefits and power that come from putting in the time.

In closing, I'd like to tell the questioner that regardless of their choice, as long as they don't give up, think less and do more, starting to take action is the best choice.

Best of luck!
