There is a quote that influent me a lots in life: "Live everyday as it is the last day you live". I guess everyone understand this saying about time saving. I usually ask myself what I want to do if I only have one more day to live? Am I just lieing down and waiting for the Death to come pick me up and drive me to forever lasting dance, or am I doing something special, something that I would be so desired to have. No matter what it is, I just don't want to watch time pass by everyday uselessly. Because it is thing that when I lost, I couldn't get back anymore.

Story 6 - Creative thinking

Creation is always needed in human life, not only to create some things that are incredible, but also to help us make the right decision in an easier way. I usually overthink everything and I've been struggling a lots to find the satisfied answers. It is now that I need to start simplify things since I know that the answers are already somewhere in my mind are hid behind complicated thought. 

Last project, I made it harder than it should be so it took me more times to get it finished. I probably will change my thought this time. 

Children book project

I am going to say, our childhood wouldn't be completed without children book. They are just short stories with one main character - usaully are common animals like mouse, cat, hourse... The stories could be daily life, adventure around the house or discovery how to do simple things..., which are so attractive and interesting to the kids. 

The reason I like the children books is not only they have beautiful and creative pictures that describes the story, but also they have a lesson afterward. 

Self reflection

I learnt to think more creatively and how to put them in the logical order. I could have plan to print the picture out before the class. I think my final grade will be 180/200

Story 5

 I tend to feel frustrated and greatly dissapointed when things are not the way I want. Because I want to be better, and I know that I have the ability to do better. I don't usually satisfy with what I get. Not that I don't have gratitude, but it is not easy to be used. I mean, I can't live a life where I just satisfy and feel greatful to everything. It doesn't help me any better. Being greatful is good, but not all the times!

Indeed, I am thankful for many things in my life. I don't think I have anyproblem with it now! Anyway, the story gave me an interesting point of view. In my opinion, it is more for people who just always lament about everything with negative attitude toward themselves.

Video 1

The main idea of the video is the relationship between different pieces of animals. It shows us the animals' daily life with their companion, and so, proves that animals are just like humans. They also have sense and feeling, and they need others to survive. The companionship exists not only between the animal in the same pieces, but also the one from different birth, as long as they get along with each others well. 

I've learned that relationship makes life better. It affects our attitudes toward life. I probably will use it to better my relationship with family, friends and people I love, by listening and sympathizing with them and helping them through the sadness, the sorrow moment in life. 

Story 4

  In my opinion, life would be much more easier and happier if we have reflection and compassion. There is a quote that really makes me think deeply. "The world will never turn its back toward you, until you turn your back to it". Whenever we depressed, we tend to think that we are the only one that suffers the pain, and no one knows that. But unfortunately, we are wrong! Because around us, there are people that have been through things even much worse than we can imagined. Just because you don't know, or you ignore it, or you are too busy lamenting, doesn't mean it is not happening.

Still, I sometimes overthink about things I've been through. But I know how to control it, to get out of it by telling myself the quotes above. And you know what? It works, very well! It blow away my depression and lonliness, tell me that I should drink some warm water, take a deep breath, find some one to share my story and life become wonderful again. That how it is!

Story 3

Deep listening has been a skill that I try to improve everyday to help my life better. It is the most important part in communication and proceeding information, but it could be very difficult to be focusing on something while other distracting sounds are around. The story provided me the way to handle it by being patient and calm my mind to wipe away the distraction. Meditation is one of the effective way to help, so I think I would try that probably.

As a student, listening is the very needed skill for me to go through every day. Listen to the lecture, the teacher's instruction, friend's hilarious story of fighting with their brothers or sisters, and so like happen all day long. Today, I will pay attention to what I hear more than I usually do by actually following the conduction without thinking ahead and trying to guess what is happening. Hope it is going to work! 

Story 2

To be honest, one of the part of being kind to people, to me, is forgiveness. As long as you live, you probably will make mistakes, which either is harmless or can affect others. I remembered when my mother and I was arguing and I made a big fault that I showed her disrespect by saying something that was not so nice. She was really depressed and she didn't talk to me for the next week. That week was the worst week ever in my life. One reason for its long lasting is I hadn't apologized to her. But I did at last, and she forgave me.

I consider forgiveness is the action of kindness and generousness as I feel so delighful when some one is willing to do so for me. No matter how serious it is, I think, at least, I have a chance to get it back when I was forgiven. Based upon what I am feeling, I want to give as many chances as possible to help people and my self.
