23 Do you have any advice for high school students thinking of studying life science? 你有甚麼建議給予考慮修讀生命科學的高中生？ Coby The only way to find out whether you like something is to get your feet wet. HKUST is quite nice in this respect because, for example, they offer summer programs to high school students. As a teenager, I would have loved to hear professors talking and have a taste of what classes would be like if I studied life science. HKUST iGEM team also organizes workshops for high school students. If you are interested, please follow our social media for more information! 了解自己是否喜歡某事物的唯一方法是親身體驗。科大在這方面相當不錯，例如他們會為高中生開辦夏 季課程。如果我是青少年，我會想聽聽教授講課，了解一下如果我讀生命科學的話日常上課會是怎樣的。科大 iGEM 團隊也為高中生舉辦工作坊。如果你有興趣，請追蹤我們的社交媒體以獲取更多資訊！ Charles When I was graduating from high school or studying at HKUST, I asked for wise words from senior people, but didn't really listen to them. So, I don't know if young people will listen to me either, but I want to encourage students to follow what they like. If you love engineering, go for it. Maybe other people don't see the joy in biology, but if you see it go for biology. Growing up or around college years, there are a lot of voices around you, from your parents, from people around, from the news, from the media, and all have different opinions. However, you have to carve out your own path. After all, it is your own life that you live, right? No one else lives your life. There are just too many things to worry about. You worry about your grades, about whether you can get a job, about what's the next step in your life. When you have so many things to worry about, it's really hard to enjoy and do what you like. There's a motto I heard somewhere like secondhand wisdom: If there's something you won't worry about in three years, then don't worry about it for more than three seconds. You might dread about your exam today, but in three years, it wouldn't matter, right? So don't worry about it. In the grand scheme of things, small worries don't matter. So just enjoy, have fun, and relax. 從高中畢業或在科大讀書時，我也試過從前輩那裡獲取一些建議，但並沒有真正聽進去。因此，我也不確 定年輕人會否聽我的建議，但我想鼓勵同學追隨自己喜愛的方向。如果你熱愛工程，那就去吧。也許其他人看 不到生物學的樂趣，但如果你找到了，那就去讀生物。在成長路上或上大學前後，周圍會有很多聲音，它們來 自你父母、周圍的人、新聞、媒體，它們都有不同意見。然而，你必須開拓自己的道路，畢竟這是你的人生，對吧？ 沒有人能代替你過生活。 世上有太多事情需要擔心：你擔心成績，擔心是否找到工作，擔心人生的下一步。當要擔心的事情太多， 你真的很難去享受並做你喜歡的事情。我聽過一句頗有智慧的說話：如果一件事在未來三年都不需要你操心， 那不要花超過三秒鐘去擔心它。你今天可能為一場考試而憂慮，但以未來三年計，那場考試可能無礙大局，對 嗎？所以不要擔心，在大格局下沒有必要為小事情擔憂，因此儘管放鬆享受人生，努力為其添上樂趣。
