Chapter 11
New Decision
When I applied to university, I hesitated to choose a department. Many of the founders of Silicon Valley did not specialize in computers. So I’m thinking, should I choose computers, should I study business, or should I prefer electronics or electrical engineering?
You can see here that Silicon Valley is full of opportunities, no matter what you do. I also wanted to do something of my own with the money I have now, but I’m worried about how long these good opportunities will last.
I’m confused by the notion that maybe I’m just looking for stability.
The success of Windows 95 was already well known last year as the success myth of Bill Gates. Bill Gates eventually dropped out of school for an opportunity.
‘If you had continued studying, there would be no current Microsoft?’ It’s not really easy to decide.
I have some time left to do something while I go to school, but I’m not sure if it’s possible. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t make up my mind, so I went back to the beginning and chose my career in computer science.
I’ll just eat what I ate. There was a reason that I would be best suited to graduate early in the day by using my skills so far.
Despite being heavily influenced by the sea breeze in early May in spring, San Francisco has only been hanging at 20 degrees during the day, and has recently seen major diurnal temperature variations falling below 10 degrees at night. It’s a great day to catch a cold.
“Good morning, John.” Jennifer sobs.
“It’s been a long time?” I was busy for a few days and couldn’t make it to school.
“Yes. How was school? ”
“Oh, I’m going to Stanford. We’ve heard from a few other places, but we can’t go east, can we? ”
I applied to MIT or Harvard, but I was notified that I passed the paperwork. However, they had no intention of going there, so the other places did not proceed after the admissions dropped out of Stanford first.
“What’s your specialty? ”
“Yeah, I’m just trying to do computer science. I think I’ve done something… I want to graduate soon enough. ”
“Wow, so you’re a Stanford student now? Heehee.” My cutie folds her arms. This clumsy feeling always brings me joy.
“That’s right. We’re supposed to stick to the plan. ”
“So you’re going to the dormitory? ”
“No, I’m still thinking about it. I’m just thinking about getting a house or a condo. ”
“Really? Why? ”
I said, “Yeah, school, work, mid-way. We can always get in and out of here. You can ride your bike. ”
“Oh, my goodness. So John’s gonna be the landlord? ”
“That’s right. You still have a month or two to graduate, right? We need to take it slow. We have some time before admission. ”
We talked about walking home to Jennifer for her next class, and she’ll help if she needs to.
I was going to go to the office this afternoon to tell my principal Hamilton and his closest teachers about Stanford, but when I went to the office, they found out.
“John, you said you were going to Stanford. Congratulations!” says math teacher Jefferson.
“John, you said you majored in computers. ”
“John, you said Harvard and MIT accepted. ”
“I thought you said you were gonna give me a scholarship. ”
Hmm… Jennifer’s mouth is cheap. I told you this morning, I can almost imagine how the teachers know everything. I later heard that I boasted to some friends, but it was spread by passing science teacher Miss Serra.
When did I tell you about the scholarship? In fact, I told you I’d give you a scholarship, but I didn’t tell you why I was bragging on the inside, but I still can’t believe it’s a rumor. Oh, of course, this time I accidentally hit it.
I was so congratulated and thankful. It was good. He was definitely a nerd.
Principal Hamilton told me that his relatives go to the Rocks Ville Tribune, a local newspaper. I politely refused that I didn’t have to do it, but later, I begged myself to do it.
I guess the local newspapers don’t have much to say, so I don’t like it either. He said he would bring it to me like a box of thorns, but I refused and turned it into a favor. You could have asked me. Tsk, tsk. This is getting famous, by the way. Haha.
A few days later, I went to school and there was a bunch of newspapers at the entrance with detailed stories about me. I was walking down the hallway, and it was like everyone recognized me.
In fact, I was popular in school with Jennifer’s rivals Carolyn and Martha.
There were a lot of women around me who were rumored to be wealthy and to be an up-and-coming proposition for the venture industry, and Carolin, especially Jennifer, often tailed me.
When I was at school, Jennifer was still around, so I often talked to her, asked for help with reports, etc., during classes with me.
Every time I deliberately slapped my chest with my palm or acted like a crossbow, I was really embarrassed. You have to have a lot of eyes.
Carolyn is slightly dry for Westerners, with light brown hair and a slim chin line. Your eyes look a little raised, so when you look at me, they look a little provocative.
I’m not sure if this is the way it’s supposed to be or if it’s trying to get my attention.
Carolyn likes to wear a sticky style, and her eyes blink when she wears tight-fitting shirts and skinny-style trousers.
I was also busy with business, but I didn’t want to distract celebrities, so I defended appropriately when I was stuck with that different charm.
“You said Carolyn was tailing you.” One day, Jennifer told me how she knew. Maybe Jenny snitched on me in one of my classes?
“No, I’m just taking the same class, and they’re asking questions. ”
“Really? You can’t go through with this! ”
“Of course. But you can’t completely ignore it, can you? ”
I asked Jennifer for a good word. Every day is a golden time, so it’s hard to manage one person. I’m just happy to make jokes in class.
“Phew. Then I’m a man of the right life, aren’t I?” Other friends boast of dating a lot of women, but I’m not like other women who run around saying they’re nice. I’m not this nice… I’m really busy.
I came close to graduation one day in June, and I had a lot of thoughts. Yahoo continued to grow, but I felt that I was 1% lacking because it was not the company I started from the beginning.
The urge to make something of myself as a man has kept me going, “Get out of Yahoo? I used to ask myself the question.
Many dot-com companies were emerging and publications were in full swing, and a friend of mine, Jeff Bezo, last month, successfully listed an Amazon company on Nasdaq.
He’s become a billionaire in just two years since he actually serviced online bookstores. Come on, Yahoo’s around the same time, so there’s nothing to say.
Since Yahoo’s publication, my annual salary has almost doubled to close to $150,000, and the combined year-end award and stock market prices have almost exceeded $500,000 in total wealth. Oh, I’m rich, too. I could start something with this money…
After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to break up with Yahoo who had been doing so well. I’m sorry about Cougar, the boss, or Jerry, but I thought I’d give him an excuse to focus on studying once I got into school.
It’s a really good finger. It was a really good opportunity to start over while maintaining the relationship that has been built so far.
“Kugle, I think I should stop working until early August. ”
“What? Why? ”
“I thought it would be hard to work when school started. ”
“That’s already been discussed, isn’t it? I’ll cut you some slack. ”
“Yes, but no matter how much I think about it, it’s important to focus on studying. I think it’s better to work hard and graduate early. ”
I told her why I could never postpone going to school, and my hopes that I wanted to take a close class and graduate early.
I was listening to my story for a long time, but I told him to take over well because I’m not going to the competition.
After that, I talked to Jerry and David, and they encouraged me to work hard because I’m in charge of the key things, but I’m going to school.
I was able to finish well because the company was already stable and I wasn’t the only Yahoo who fell.
Once you graduate, you’ll no longer be able to see Jennifer every day.
It’s an hour or two away by car on weekends, but it won’t be easy to see on weekdays unless something special happens.
“John, what do we do?” There are tears in Jennifer’s eyes. Phew! My heart aches. “It’s not like we’re breaking up. I can see you on the weekends, right? ”
“Still, I’ve been with you all year. Can’t you just take a break?” Jennifer opened her eyes and touched my chest.
“I’ll be busy for a while. In fact, Yahoo has decided to stay until early August. ”
“Really? Why? You said you wanted a condo between school and work. ”
“Well, I want to do my job. You’re still young, but you can’t stay under someone else’s skin forever. But you have to be a billionaire when you’re born. Right? Haha.” I smiled joyfully.
Jennifer looks up at me lovingly. Leaning slightly against my body, the fragrant smell tingled my nose.
It’s a shame I don’t see you often, but you’re going to college, right?
“John, are you in business? ”
“Yes. I said Yahoo is dropping out because of school, so you should stick to your studies for a while. But we’re gonna do business together.” I didn’t go into detail, but I just flashed my intentions. Jennifer doesn’t care what I start, but she seems to think I’m doing something great.
Jennifer felt uneasy about leaving her loving Rocksville school. I explained the good things about college students so hard that later I felt better. Of course, I promised to play often in the future.
Soon after graduation, I decided to give my resignation to a well-traveled workplace. I yelled at him! Make your dreams come true!
