The Flip-Flop theory

How has your life been? has everything been good? or bad? To me, it has been fluctuating. I mean it's a series of good or bad things. In fact, I'm not sure whether it's true or not, but I really want to believe that it is true. I saw a credo, the 50% theory of life. The author said that half the time things are better than normal; the other half, they are worse. Well...normal things are also available in our lives, but the important thing is even if we were in terrible situation, we could expect us to be in good situation in the future. On the other hand, even if we were in good situation, it could be also possible that we would be in bad situation. I think that this fact makes us have hopes and prevent us from being lazy at least to me. Actually, I has thought about this theory since when I was in highschool. This theory has made me think or worry a lot about my future. I'm not sure if it's good or not, but it's true that this theory helped me a lot.

Creative Solutions

I have read a blog which was written Mr Frank X Walker. The blog's title is 'Creative Solutions to Life Challenges'.
It is clear that life has a lot of challenges. The writer believes that people can overcome them by creative solutions. Moreover, creative solutions hide people's work. Whoever people are or whatever people do, they can find solutions for their problems. The most important thing is view of point. The writer emphasis that the highest quality of life is full of art and creative expression.

A Kind And Generous Heart.

http://thisibelieve.org/essay/43396/

I don't know what happened to me but..
when I needed to put any topic in the search box, I caught myself typing "donation" without any thoughts. I started to listen to Christine little's story..it's touching more than enough. her son was very sick when he was 13years old. he had a disease called cardiomyopathy, which happens because of heart muscles. he was in hospital unlike his friend. he couldn't hang out with his friends. but one day, fortunately, his parents got a call that someone donated a heart. she thought that it's truly the present of god but in other words, it means that this heart came from the family that would have much more griefs. even though her son died after 2years when he transplanted a heart, she was saying that she received a precious years with him.. and decided to donate her son's cornea by his request. a selfless giving. I've learned the most beautiful word today.. it is a selfless gift.
something highly motivated me.. and I don't know what it is exactly... only i know is the way of how to live my rest life.

Friendship Is A Passport .

Julien Bryan a U.S citizen says in his this credo of his " http://thisibelieve.org/essay/16410/ " that he lived a hard life and he witnessed the world war at the age of 17 , he says that he had a lot of friends most of them are French but that didn't stop him from making friends with them . he also witnessed other country's citizens and also religions and he saw how it is easy to live with someone you don't know if you accepted them as human beings . He believes that friendship can solve a lot of problems and can decrease the amount of was and hatred . (( thats how I understood it ))

I dare disagree with Socrates !!!

'the unexamined life is not worth living"
I don't think so.the more you think about yourself over and over, the more your life become complicated. and also it could put you in a small cage. sometime, just let your life flow freely. life is not that long enough to think about yourself a lot.

That is my idea.

We can learn lots of things and we can have purposes of our lives when we examine our lives. "Unexamined life is not worth living" by Socrates.....That's what I'm saying.

Life is important

Life is important therefore people should think and evolute their lives. People should take a lesson their mistakes.

Just try it , it wont take that much of a time , what is a day or a week to your whole life life , Just do it and see what will happen to your life .

In Korea, blogging is considered a good way to show yourself. Even though it's just a web page, each person can decorate their own page with an lot of stuff that is different from others'. however, a few years ago, there was a big problem related to personal blog page. a guy was really interested in cars and he started to collect almost all of articles about any cars. he also wrote his opinion on his web page.as time goes by, his web page was getting bigger and people became a big fan of his blog. his writing was pretty clear and honest. his blog was a full of information about cars. furthermore, his opinion is even more powerful than any other media for example, tv commercial or experts' analysis about cars. hyundai an kia, which are really big car company in Korea, realized this facts and they tried to convince him to post about their cars in a good way. they, actually, gave him a lot of money and made him upload lies. those companies wanted to cover the deficits of their automobile. and finally, he did. all information on his blog became manipulated. he is making a lot of money just posting some lies. these kind of things is happening a lot again and again now.I'm wondering how blogs end up in the end....

Sweat the small stuff

"All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarden." This is an article's title. Is that true? When I saw this sentence at first, I was so confused, because I didn't believe it. I was trying to find out the reason that proves my thought during class but I didn't. Most people usually pursue something that is hard to get. They think that the harder is more valuable. However, while they are pursuing this, they show a tendency to disregard small stuff like playing fair or sharing everything, because they believe that they already knew this. The author,Fulghum, critisized this fact. He thought that just knowing and doing what you know are totally different. Of course people know that it is important to play fair or to share everthing. However, does every person behave like that? Does every person try to obey them every moment? No way!! We wouldn't need to have any laws if everyperson behave like that. Fulghum emphasized that we should try to behave like what we learned from kindergarden instead of just pursuing higher level stuff. I just realized that he is totally right and I am also one of the people that just pursue something looks difficult. For this reason, I am going to share my homeworks with Ziad. You know what Ziad, it is good for you.

Which Qualities Shuld A Teacher Have

As everybody knows, education has been getting more and more important. All experts have been researching how high quality education ought to be, what equipment must be used, which qualities a teacher must have and what kind of building ought to be built?
Education is different from other departments such as industry, transport and social science. In other words, education is very special field in the engineering of society. Therefore, strategy, planning, staff who studies on education such as instructors, teachers, researchers and guides; equipments which are the technical tools such as computer, projection, and television are important component for a high quality education.I wannt to emphasis which qualities a teacher must have in the educational system.
Firstly, teacher's training is significant and this is the first step. In other words, a perfect education system needs well educated teachers. Secondly, teachers should prepare for lessons perfecly; that is, they should prapare many documantswhich are to be given to the students. Thirdly, teachers must know students' needs. If teacher meet students' needs, the education is successful. Fourtly, the teachers must establish a strong communication with the stuadents. Fifhly, teacher must have self confidance. Lastly, they use body language effectively in lesson.
Our future in lying in teachers' hands and depends on their skills.

I Just Want To Know Why ?

Toady in class after I wrote my first blog ever we talked about someone who wants to let the world live with his credo or maybe the " old days " credo , hmm actually I don't care about him or what his thinks I just wanted to know what's the point of his essay thing that he writes every spring . while I was wondering what's his real puppies and I found out that he just wants to know if he kept his credo the past year or not . If he writes that kind of stuff to himself why did he published it ? and then we listed to a women that let could held herself from crying , I was impressed how could a women not cry ? I know that they just want the opportunity to cry anything to cry about so it was kinda shocking and touching but I found out that she let herself go and tried to let other people cry they i took all of my emotional thing towards her back and still thinks that MOST not all women car hold them self's from crying . Then we had our Vocabulary which i didn't do it yet and i don't want to do it because I always squeeze my brain just to get one sentence so , wish me luck .

Is blogging narcissistic?

Today we talked about a post from my sister's blog...a friend of hers said that blogging is narcissistic, but she felt that it was important to share stories. I asked the class for their opinions.

why do you think people are using blogs??

Hello my name is Bongsung Kim from Cara's class, of course.I'm in the middle of the class now!! let me introduce about myself a little bit I'm from Korea and I'm really interested in cars and my dream is helping poor people living in all over the world.

The reason why people are blogging is because of the results of individualism. People is getting more individualized regardless of their intention. Human-beings aren't supposed to be alone and no one ca live alone. It's true. However, somehow the social circumstance is forcing us to feel loneliness. So blogs appeared and have become a useful way to get people's attention. By doing this, people has started to feel that they could be a part of society. They feel alive communicating with others through blogs even though it's a tiny little personal things.

Different approach

I am studying the advanced class. I have graduated with a law degree and a lot of experience about criminal law. I have visited many countries in the world.
Some people prefer blogging but the others don't prefer it. In my personal opinion, if people share business experience or how to solve a problem, blogging is useful. Moreover etiquette rules are important. In other words, if information relates a person, the person who wants to sent this information t0 a blog should permit from the person. Privacy is significant. In brief, if somebody asks a question, that is, is blogging narcissistic ? my answer is that depends on situation. If someone use blog for sharing experience and solving problem, the blogging isn't narcissistic.

I'm sure that blogging is narcisstic

I'm Jong-young from Korea. Maybe I'm in the best English class now. I've never used blog before. I know it's shameful.
By the way, I think blogging is narcissistic. Why? I'm sure that people can't post their status or opinions on a blog if they are shy or don't have enough confidence. Just imagine that you are a shy guy and you have to make a speech in front of thousands of people. Could you make it? Never. Of course on a blog, you don't need to show your face, however a lot of people, even more than a thousand, can see your thought. To me, it's obviously true that only confident people can post their status on blog. For this reason, blogging is narcissistic.
