Tuesdays of Morrie

I tried to stop crying, but I couldn't. I know death already, and it is really hurt when you understand that you would never talk with the person any more. It is like Morrie said that when I am dead, you talk and I listen. There were too many wise sentences in this movie, and I have to chew them several days, then I can swallow them down. Do I live the life what I want to live? Do I do what I want to do now? Am I peace with myself? Do I love......I am afraid to answer these questions because I know these answers are all "NO". I am lucky, for I watched this movie today. Some people, maybe they have no chance to watch this movie in their lives, and they will be fear and comfused with these matters all the time. Life, death, emotion, and love are the foundational and most important elements what we all have to learn and experience in our lives, and there is no exception. I have to know death, then I will know something about life. Do I have to lost something first, then I can understand what I already have? It costs too much. Something will never come back if it already passed. If you have lost something, you must know what I mean. It is very sad because we only can learn some things, such as love, after we experience them, even you are the smartest guy in the world. Finally, I want to say thank you to Patricia. You taught us a lot what we can't image. Thank you, Queen Patricia.*___*

Lego=Let us go .\ /.

My best friend showed me a video this midnight. It made by his cousin-Leo. Making a video is not a big deal; however, he took more than 2000 pictures by his DSLR to record the progress which is how he comprised more than 5000 pieces Lego to accomplish the Ultimate Collector´s Millennium Falcon. It is amazing, or I should say he is crazy and fantastic!! Now Lego asks him to promote their products. In my memory, I have never played Lego, but I heard it is good for children to practice their brains. The auther said it costed him more than 35 hours to finish this work, and he is going to attend an exhibition to display his Millennium Falcon. Until now, did anybody get some ideas? I am sure you did. To most people, it sounds kind of a stupid or crazy work to record a progress about how to make a Lego becuase it is a toy. Some people maybe will think the guy is lucky because Lego are going to pay him a sum of money to be their voice. To me, I saw a person did what he loves to do, and that is what Steve Jobs told "us" in Stanford U. He enjoyed the progress, and he made an excellent work. Some feeling is not easy to explain, but to feel it or soak in it. Leo, who I don't know him, influnced something inside of me suddenly. Is it what Steve Jobs said, "stay foolish, stay hungry"? I look at a foolish person, and he seems like me who I was , ever. I want to keep looking for my love strongly. I appreciate this virus to make me so tired, for I can be awake now to think what is the most important matter in my life or when I am alive. How many days will I have in my life? How many things do I really want to do? How many things should I be brave to try? How many people should I be brave to love? It is worth to get cold. Haha....

Got cold

It is not fantastic....I feel cold always; however I understand why people said they got cold when they were sick. Have you ever thought sick people were so charming? They talk fewer, and move slowly. They become quiet and polite becasue illness makes them weak. When I got cold, I always people around me treat me so gentle and sweet. Haha. Today my symbol was sore throat, and I tried not to talk too much. Unfortunately, I am a talktive person. I attend a lecture what's topic is environment science. Professor didn't use microphone, and it was harder for me to follow him. It was an interesting subject, yet professor made it a little boring. This was the last time that we could join Your's lecture in this seccion. I did a right decision, and I got some ideas in the lecture. Although I felt sleepy, it was a excellent experience. By the way, I found the Art college in York. It was amazing! That was my dream, ever. Anyway, I was enjoyable today very much. Thank everybody!

Improve club~~It works

Wonderful! This club get better now, and I want to recommend my classmates to join us. Before we had activities to operate our brain, and today we had debate. It was Fantastic!! We had three topics which were Pepsi vs Coke, Cats vs Dogs, and english vs international lauguages. I had to say these discussion were much better than the one that level 6 students held, and maybe Kathereen could give them some suggetions to "improve" their discussion. I appreciated level 6 students and Kathereen that i got a lot of chances to practice my speaking and listening. I believe that discussion and debate are efficient exercises to train how to organize out thought and how to speak English orderly. In the process, I tried to make an aggressive atmosphere to start a fierce debate, and it worked. We had a wonderful time. By the way, Kathereen asked us to use conjunctions to constitute our expression. We took advantage of learning new vocabulary, correct our pronunciation, and develop our English skills when we attended improve club. WHat I can say, it is incredible!

Steve Jobs, CEO, Apple and Pixar Animation

I prefer this kind of speech because it is short and concentrative. What Steve Jobs said is the fact we already know it very well, but most of us just keep thinking it instead of making our dreams come true. Maybe it is a kind of bad habit to keep holding a job, and sometime I agree with that. It is the reason to send me here, too. I believe everyone know and understand that we have to be loyal to our faith and listen to our hearts. We have to love what we do and do what we love. The trick is how to maintain your heart clear and calm. I had worked to a company for almost ten years until last year. I think I did it well because I already got a good salary and a high position when I decided to leave it. I am lucky, for I hear the voice from my heart again. Definitely, it is hard to open your arms to lose evrything which you hold it with enjoyment. I still have my faith, and I don't want to devote my whole life to earning money only. I had believed I should do what I love, but I surrended to the reality. I was enjoy being a normal salesman to keep my satisfied life for a long time, but part of me always denied bending to reality. I am fortune to be in Toronto, and I am fortune to listen to this speech. It inspires me again, and it reminds me what I have looked for my life from I was a child. The feeling is like you gain something back what you lost for a long long time. Something is only happened in somebody because these people prepare from this incident already. They are winner, for they are brave to make significant choice in their tough time. Now I am here to extend my first step to my love, yet I don't know what I want still. However, I unsettle my life as Steve Jobs said, and I am going to restart to looking for my dream again. I am not sure I can be hungry and foolish for how long, but I will believe in my heart and hold my faith to step forward bravely. I hope someday I can stand where Steve Jobs did.

Workshop~Presentation

I recommend this work shop strongly, especially the second part of it. The professor of this class was Patricia again, and it was very useful. How to make a wonderful presentation? There are some sections what we should pay more attention on. First, we should choose a interesting topic to do our research, and we have to make sure we can understand this topic very well. Second, we have to remember the important points in this topic, and maybe we can make some notes in a small piece of paper to be a reminder when we do our presentation. Third, we should practice many times to make our presentation fluent and perfect. We can record ourself ,or we present in front of our friends or a mirror if soem of us have no friends. That is Patricia said. I think it works because we need somebody to tell us what kind of the problems we have, and some of this problems are made in unconscious status. Finally, be confident and relaxed. If we prepare enough and practice doing our presentation as much as we can, we would have confidence to make an xcellent presentation. The second part of this work shop is how to use Powerpoint, and it is more helpful. It is knid of a bonus because it can make your presentation more attractive. In conclusion, it was an excellent class, and I am gonna introduce this class to my friends and my classmates. It costs you just two hours, but you could get enjoyable period of time and gain various knowledge at the same time. Fantastic!!

Level 6 's Discussion

Today's topic was "Sex in advertising sells, how much .....". Actually, I couldn't remember it completely, but I knew it discussed about too much naked image in TV and magazines. Another point is how these sexy or sexual images influence people and society. It should be a good chance to practice our speaking, but it was not because there were too many people. However, I learned something about how to host a successful discussion. In my opinion, participators should prepare their perpectives before they join this discussion, and they should make their opinions short as summarys. Hosters should countrol the situation, and they have to make sure that everyone must has at least one chance to convey their opinions and hosters have to keep the atmosphere exciting, too. The topic is good, but I think all of us need to practice more to make a good discussion. On the other hand, it is also important to make everyone focus on only one topic. Today some people thought too much to miss the spot, and this kind of behavior or situation would waste people's time, and there would be no conclusion. Eventually, it ended because there was no more time. I had a precious experience in this discussion although it was not so good and complete. I appreciated that they hosted an interesting discussion.
