Life Path


“The world, the Earth is a school, our life is the classroom” Oprah Winfrey said it at '08 Stanford commencement.

Life is just like the four sessions of the college, freshman, sophomore, junior and senior. Everything seems much clearer when we look backward. When failures, crises and difficult times come, then only thing we do first is try to get rid of. In fact, to face it is the best way to deal with. No one’s life is seamless or smooth, maybe there are some exceptions but few. Most of time we believe what we see ‘cause people trust his or her own instincts. But, sometimes we are wrong.

Some kids of the celebrities and entertainers need to try really hard to let people know him or her on his or her own terms instead in terms of people he or she knows. Wanna to stand out even surpass, nobody wants to be compared with others especially the people who they are close to.

As a freshman, everything is so interesting and fabulous that eager to experience it all. Each process is the best thing in the whole thing, it’s much better than when the result comes out. Mistakes make us to be better. Making mistakes is a big step to move forward. Without it, you must miss the most wonderful thing. It’s not only to make you feel sad also to make you grow up.

Then what about a sophomore? After experiencing failures, we will learn some lessons and some rules to know more about how to live happily. Then make ourselves be much more mature. Start to realize that no one is perfect and begin to accept imperfect self.

As a junior, most things are not that interesting as before. Need to go back to the starting point to see or learn new things even to meet new people. It will extend your view and wake your ambitions up. Not just to live, need to live your way. Also you can connect the dots when you look backward. The own destiny and the karma of the own life can be seen more clearly.

When we grow up elder and elder, most of us will start to diagnose and doubt our ability. With accumulated experienced, we should become more confident. Yup, we really do in some ways. Somehow, being positive is not enough anymore. The new are better and better. Our supervisor said to Tina, “You get more salary than the new, but they do the same things like you do as well.” Ouch!! How hurt she is! He shouldn’t say that even he is the boss. Maybe he wants to encourage us to keep improving ourselves. Why cannot he try to use another way to say? About the art of speaking, he still needs to work harder on it. Employees are people too!!

Even his talk is not proper, he mentions the point. If you stop learning, no matter how good you are right now, it will be the past someday. You must be well-prepared and more competitive to face the challenges. No one can predict what and when will occur and come to you. If you are not prepared, there will be a high possibility to beat down unconsciously. Seeing the world, you are not alone. Everything around is the big gift, just enjoy it..

Now I am a junior. About being a senior, I am still learning and exploring. Right now, I am trying to be a solid junior. Haven’t graduated from this stage, try harder to work on it now.

My life, rock it!!
Everybody, rock your life with your spirit.
