Story 11

I think criticism always happens in life, since we live in a society that is created by people. As the say : "Everyone is different", of course they have different thoughts and they might be critical to you somtimes, which is normal. It's really not a big deal, because there are no right or wrong. They're opinions, whether it is yours or others.

I do not take anyone's opinion as a criticism against me. If I think it's important, I'll take it as a suggestion for me to improve. I think I can use it at school, at work, in a community,... anywhere. Not only it is keep me from being frustrated, but also help me better myself.

Story 10

There are always people who resist us in life. If one is student, one will probably get in disagreement with others in class or school, teachers or friends. Choosing to let these endless arguments bother us is literally not that fun. If it is not important, just let it go. It doesn't mean that you are afraid of others and do not dare to speak up our voice. But think of that in a positive way will help it is so much easier to deal with.

I can use this skill everywhere, in class, at home, in community... I'll ask myself if it is important, and worthed to be frustrated, to debate back.

In the speech, Steve Jobs tells us 3 stories about his life, carried the meanings of connecting dots, love and death. The first one tells about dots that connects in life which already been set and we need to look backward to figure out. Then, the second one talks about finding thing that one loves to do. And if one can not find it, jusr keep looking and never give up looking. The last story is about the prescious time when we're alive.

I think the most important thing is "stay hungry, stayfoolish". That way could helps us get better, keep our passion to learn new things, to believe and to succeed. I think the speech has a great influence to everyone, espcially the graduated students, who will start using their knowledge to help the world a better place.

Last night, I talked to a woman for a trip that I'm planning to take during Spring Break. She asked me a question that makes me thinks so much: "Are you ready to go home?"

Yep, it's been 7 months since I came here, but things seem like they just happened yesterday. I love this place from the first sight when I got to the airport. This is where the I had dreamed about, I've never regretted for the decision to come here. I love my new family, where I have received so much that I couldn't ask for more. I love my the school where there are friends and teammates who always support and make me happy. 

I don't know how I am going to leave this amazing place. Yes, I miss my home land, my family there, and they miss me, too, more than I do and I know that for sure. It's not that I don't want to come back. It's just... so difficult to leave all the people that I love here. It's just... I'm not ready!

Story 8

I realized that my emotion is influenced by my thoughts which is very normal. I think this is true for everyone and it also explains how an actors could act and show one's emotional situation. I mean, they would probably think of some thing that will cause the emotion which hey need to show. I've learnt to control my thoughts, not always, but part of it and I need more practices.

I think when I have good feeling, it could be spreading around me. I can help my friends if they are sad or frustrated by driving their thought to a better point of views. 

Story 7

Positive thought is one of the most important tendency to me because it literally decides how am I going to live. One of my favourite quote is "Life is an interesting book or not depends on how you read it". I don't want to read a book with all negative and frustrated thought about it. It obviously gives me nothing. Not that the book always tells the great part, but there are no reason for me to focus on such a thing. There are so much more for me to enjoy and I don't want to miss any of them!

As always, I will try to look things from positive side, even I am somtimes frustrated because it is not what I expect. But then I will take it back because I know that it is not going to change anything. One thing that I could change is my tendency.
