We all have our destiny or dream of working in a specific filed. All of our life are searching and discovering who we are or what we exactly desire. Parents, friends or spouse worry about if you are not going to have a wonderful job or social title. But, who will know that what we are going to do in our rest of life? Who will know how we are going to become and what type of person we will be? In this rapidly changing world, we all have to accustom the environment where we live and the culture we belong. Furthermore, we may find a job which people think is great for us.

What if you know what you are going to do in the future or the position you will be when you were one year young? In Chinese culture, there is an endemic traditional way that can let god decide whether your job is by selecting three items by yourself. As you can tell from the photo, there are several icons that represent different kinds of job. For example, if you grab an abacus, it means your future career will be related with number, math or accounting. However, if you are going to take place this kind of ceremonious event it must held when you are ONE year young!

So, do you want to know what type of job which your child will be when he/she is only one year young?
