“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”

Most people, including me, always want to acquire something that they don’t have now. Instead, they don’t treasure things they have. For example, I went shopping in Eslite, and saw a book I really wanted to buy. It was full of inspiring words that always made me full of energy. However, I didn’t have enough money for this book. To my surprise, my best friend sent me this book as my birthday present. After I owned the book, I seldom had time reading it. Another example is that the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend. Sometimes, you like a person very much, and want to be with him or her. When you really become lovers, the strong feeling of love disappears little by little. There are many example to illustrate this quote. People don’t regret it until they lose it. Nevertheless, if we can treasure what we have, we can avoid the feeling of rue.

This is About Beauty

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.

 

     At the beginning of entering the NCCU, I think life in the university will be so relaxing that I can do everything I would like to do. However, it’s not the truth. In fact, I always feel exhausted, especially when I have to prepare lots of reports and teaching plans. Although sometimes I am very tired, I still like to go up and down the hill because seeing the azure sky, bright-green trees, and colorful flowers makes me release my pressure. In addition to beautiful scenery, there are many innocent children playing on the playground, which also a fantastic scene that I can’t help but smile and become happier.

     What I want to tell you is that life is full of beauty. Although you may lead a busy life just like me, you still need to spend a little time appreciating everything around you.

This Is About Friends

Good friend are like stars. You don’t always see them, but you know they are always there.

We meet a variety of people every day, but only a few of them leave marks in our hearts. They are called friends. A fiend is a person when something funny happens in our life, we want to share with immediately. A friend is a person when something upsets or discourages us, we wish they will beside us as soon as possible. However, when we fall in love, some of us may cast our friends aside. Despite the fact that we desolate them, they don’t leave us; instead, they will always beside us like stars. In addition, when we are occupied with too many annoying things and have no time to meet with them, they won’t blame us; instead, they urge us forward. Take my roommate for example. When my roommate share late night snack straight after I brush my teeth, one of my roommate immediately say that she can help me by eating my share. She say when I am in need, she will appear at once. Although this example is just a joke, they are really my good friends.

This Is About Action

“If you only do what you know you can do- you never do very much.”

I like this quote very much, and I think it appropriate to take it as one’s motto. When we meet the new challenge, most people may think can I do well. People are afraid of failure and making mistakes, especially Asian people, so they would rather give up the opportunity than give it a try. However, as I grow up little by little, I sometimes missed something that I really wanted to do actually because of unbelieving my ability. Although I felt regretful about my decision, I could change nothing. As a result, I have learned to treasure the moment I can give it a shot. I always encourage myself to try everything I am interested in, no matter what difficulties I will encounter. In addition, I would like to ask you that do you remember when and how you learned to walk. If you could learn to walk in spite of falling down many times when you were a little child, why have you become such a coward now? Therefore, never say impossible too early.

This Is About Love

“If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.”

This quote is applied to the situation that your friend finds his or her lover a two-timer. It was a true story that happened a few days ago. My best friend in senior high school felt her boyfriend didn’t care her little by little. When she told him how sad she was, he said nothing except ”Don’t be sad.” After several days, she made up her mind to ask his true feeling about their relationship. Sadly, he told her he didn’t love her so much as he used to be and he loves another girl who is our classmate in senior high. What a tragedy it is! My friend can’t help but burst out crying every day. I know there is nobody can help her if she doesn’t change her thought. I think it suitable to tell this quote to her and whoever encounters the same situation like her. Although you may be extremely sad, it still cannot change the fact that he or her  doesn’t love you; as a result, let them go and also let yourself go.  

This Is About Happiness

“Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

 

 No one is absolutely perfect. For example, your classmate is extremely smart, which is the envy of everybody; however, he may be poor at sport or singing. People are usually envious of others' strengths, not satisfied with themselves, and unable to embrace thier own defects. Why not just accept not only your advantages but also disadvanges? If you can entirely accept yourself and love yourself, I bet you will have more self-confidence, optimistic about the difficulties standing in front of you. Take Nick Vujicic  as an example. He was born without arms and legs; nevertheless, he never gives up and leads a positive life. If he can do it, it's not hard for us to accept our imperfections. All in all, after you've decided to look beyond the imperfections, you will lead a happier life than before, no matter what situation you are faced with.
