enjoy life

Time passes really fast.
We should not only enjoy life more, but also have to learn how to make good use of it.
Here are some tips that I think we can do to enhance our quality of live.
First, we should have a totally relaxing vacation after a period of hard working.
We should stop worrying our jobs or studies during the precious vacation.
Second, families are important.
We should remember to accompany them no matter how busy we are.
The love and kindness they give us can make us forget worries.
Last but not least, cultivating a good habit can make our life more colorful.

Beauty

Everyone wants to become beautiful.
I think beauty includes inner beauty and outer beauty.
Inner beauty includes intelligence, knowledge, and virtue.
Outer beauty usually means the appearance.
I think the most beautiful person has not only outer beauty but also inner beauty.
The outer beauty is inborn. We cannot change it very much.
Therefore, we should emphasize on attaining inner beauty.
We should develop our inner beauty by absorbing more knowledge and cultivating good virtue.

Stress, Health, and Coping

Today I made a presentation in my psychology class with my group.

We introduced the topic, “Stress, Health, and Coping”.

And we use a famous movie as a good example.

It is called “the pursuit of happiness”.

I think it is really touching. And it derives from a true story.

A man who lost his job and become very poor worked very hard to raise his son by himself.

His wife left them because she couldn’t tolerate poverty.

The man didn’t give up. He tried very hard on his new job.

He wanted to be a rich and successful stock business' salesman.

In the end, he did a really great job.

He owned a big stock company and became a very rich man.

I love this movie because the man is really brave.

He encouraged me not to give up even if I am in a bad situation.

If I work hard, I can still have chance to pursue my happiness successfully.

And the story teaches me that stress can not only be a pressure but also a motivation. Stress is not always bad. It has some good function.

The most important is that we should learn how to cope up with stress.

And the movie is a really good example that we should learn from the man’s wit.

the end of this semester

last year passed
new year just begins
and then
my first semester in university's life is going to end up

this semester
i adjust to a completely new environment
actually it is a pretty hard time
i spend many times commuting between school and my home
although our school is really big and beautiful
i have to say that it is really far away from the prosperous Taipei City
therefore it is really exhausted for students who commute

time passes really fast
my fist semester in university is going to be over
actually i stiil have no sence about my life in university
it seems that i can't find my goal in this school
i feel vacant in my deep heart
i think i work hard but i don't know what i am doing
it is a really difficult task for me to solve
i should find a right direction to let me follow it

an amazing fact of a disaster

i just read one article on my sociology textbook
and there is a story which gives us awareness of deviance
we should use this awareness to distinguish whether an act is a deviant behavior or not

it records a disaster happening in the early of 1970's
there was an airplane which crashed in the Andes Moutains in South America
almost every passengers were dead
only 27 people survivored
unfortunately they were marooned at 12,000 feet in frezzing weather and deep snow
and they just had a small amount of chocolate and some wine
the circumstance was really bad
after few days
they heard in the radio that the search for them had been canceled

they had no idea what to do
they suffered from cold and hunger
after certain days
some people proposed that they should eat the dead crash victins
in order to survive
at first only a few ate the human meat
but soon the others began to eat too
but they refused to eat the lungs, skin, head and genitals

at the end of this terrible catastrophe
they sent 3 men to ask for help
they walked for 10 days
eventually they entered Chile by climbing over the mountains
the whole group was finally rescued

this story makes a deep impression on me
it is so hard to imagine that we should eat conspecific creature- human beings in order to survive
i think it needs lots of courage to do this
if i were in that circumstance(i hope i wouldn't hace to face up with this)
maybe i would eat the victims while crying
feel sorry for them!!!!

Advanced article

the title is "Cell phone on campus make cutting the umbilical cord more difficult"
it talks about the colleage students use telephone to contact with their parents "reporting everythig"
and the experts disapprove of this situation
she says now every students get a cell phone because of this advanced time
they use cell phone to talk to their friends or even to their parents
when they face up with some difficulties
they call their parents
and the unbeliveble example the author gives is that
a mom even called his son every morning to wake him up
or his son might be late to the class

the experts are really worried about this situation
they think that colleage students should learn independence
they have to solve every problems by theirselves or by finding the resources in the campus
not to call to their parents and ask for help
they should learn how to deal with different problems
because those problems might be their problems again when having a job in the future

therefore, the experts ask parents not to help children solve every problems
they are old enough to find some ways by theirselves

i think this article is meaningful to me, as a colleage student
i figure out that i am not a baby anymore
i have to be dependent
although i still live in my home
i necessnarily have to deal with most of the problems by myself

The Warlords投名狀

i really want to see this movie

although it talks about cruel war

i still want to see it very much

i heard a olt of people saying that this movie is fantastic

and the most important is that

Andy Lau is one of the main actor

he is my favorite idol

i think his performance is fantastic,too

in recent years

his skill of acting improve a lot

i am really glad about this advance

i think the next movie i will go to see is this The Warlords

emotions

i am reading my pshychology textbook
i find that emotions have amazing magical powers
it is hard to believe that there are so many significant theories and explanations about emotions

the most surprising thing i get
is that
emotions are seperated into two totally different types
1.approach emotions
such as happiness, joy, love
they are all positive
2.withdrawl emotions
such as hate, disgust, fear
they are negative
and the interesting thing is that
when we have more approach emotions
our left frontal lobe will be more active than the right one at that moment
in contrast
our right frontal lobe will be energectic when we have withdrawl emotions

we can prove this by scanning the patients who have mental problems
the evidence shows that their right frontal lobes are more active than formal people

it is really cool to find this fascinating things
it seems that emotions are common
and they exist in our daily life
but if i don't read the article
i would never know this profound secret

Happy new year!!

time pass really fast
i become older and older
it seems that i just graduate from my dear senior high school
it is so hard to believe that i have already passed half of my freshman's year

in 2008
i hope everything will be fantastic
i hope my family will be healthy
and i wish my new year could be more interesting than ever

these are my new year's wishes
i hope everything will be great

American Gangster

12/31 the last day of 2007

I went to see a fantastic movie with my friends

it is called American Gangster

it is apparentlt a feature film

it talks about the drug issue in 1970's in New York

the leading men are played by丹佐華盛頓 and羅素克洛

Frank(丹佐華盛頓) is an important role in this film

he is a black

but he is intellegent in doing business

and his big business is selling drugs

Ricky(羅素克洛)is a dictator who tries to arrest Frank

after seeing this movie,

I think drug is really dangerous

the people who are addicted to it would have a terrible future

and people who sell drug would be arrested by the government

and they really influence the lives of the drug addicts

I really suggest that we should not touch this dangerous stuff
