Walk past the concrete road to avoid the crowds

As a tourist, we will rely on a map to find out the most common and easiest way to travel around because we believe the information provided has a highly reliable value to complete our trip. For that reason, we will seldom choose the jagged roads as we are not sure where we are heading for. Then we will find that we have made a wise decision.

Likewise, to determine our career goal, we gather all the necessary information offered by the predecessors imagining a forthcoming bright future awaiting us. Unfortunately, the bright future does not surface. Indeed, it seems to us that we might have gone to the wrong way over the journey. The only reason that constitutes the failure is simple: the safest way is not a smart option.

What? Come on! We have been taught since childhood that we should go through a series of predetermined formula of life because it is the most profitable and appropriate. So almost every kid abides by the rules strictly dreaming of (and being told to project) how things could happen better than his/her parents until time rudely tells (or suggests to) them that an overburdened road cannot accommodate every pedestrian and will soon be shut down. Some decided to wait until the reopening of the road; some decided to leave the road but have no ideas where to go; and some decided to construct a new road that leads them to a new district as they knew that it was not the problem of the narrowness of the road but the crowdiness of the area which the road connected to.

While every one is aware of traffic congestion that is so disgusting and time consuming, the majority of the crowds will just wait or choose another alternate road. However, the wise one will figure out the alternate places to go instead because there is no point sticking to an overcrowded area when the world is so big for us to rediscover. Let's walk past the concrete road to avoid the crowds and revise our ways of thinking if we are not adventurous enough before complaining against traffic congestion.
