Killing the Dream, Finding Conscience: The Painful Truth About Quitting the CPA Exam
Do you still remember the enthusiasm I had when I decided to take the CPA exam? I thought that with hard work and dedication, I would surely succeed. However, as time went by, I began to realize that this exam was not as simple as I had imagined. Those dry textbooks, complex theories, and formulas made me feel like I was drowning in an ocean.
I tried various study methods, bought countless supplementary materials, and even hired a tutor, but the effect was minimal. Every time I took the exam, I felt tense and anxious, as if the whole world was weighing me down. My friends all advised me to give up, telling me that this was not the right path for me, but I was not willing to. I wanted to prove myself, I wanted to succeed.
But one day, I suddenly came to my senses. Why was I wasting so much time and energy on this exam? Why was I making myself so miserable? I started to think, what did I really want? Was it to become an accountant, or to prove my ability? I found that my initial motivation had been clouded.
