On Success

Why do so many people reach success and then fail? It should be a thesis statement.

John was one of people who reached success and then fail. He made some mistakes on his business. First, he had too much confidence after he made it. Second, he stoped working hard and pushed himself and he just went back and relax. Third, he was working on managing even though he was not good at to. Finally, when he had depression, he bought a sports car to fix it and depended on taking antidepressant pills. Money and pills never made it better.

Success is not one way to go, he should have been keep working on these, passion, work, focus, push, ideas, improve, serve, persist and then he wouldn't fail. "Success is a continuous journey." This is the main point of John's presentation.

The Internet Technology

Now, it's not too much to say that we can't live without the Internet technology. We depend on it. Emaling, Skype, SNS, like Facebook and mixi, and websites, they are all free, so they are very easy to use.

I use my laptop almost everyday. It's very useful! I've got it when I was in the grade 11 for studying abroad. From that time, I often use it to gather information for my presentation or paper, to check my Email, and blogging. Recently, Skype is my favorite to get in touch with my friend.

The internet is very useful and easy to use, but all of the information on it are not true, so we must see which one is exact information.

end of the semester..

This week, all the students in KGU are very busy because we have a lot of things to do! like studying for final exams, preparing presentations, writing reports, and so on.

I have lots of tasks to do too, but I work part time, so I hardly have anytime to study. I would less my part time work, but I should consider about my daily life and saving some money for studying abroad too.

I usually make a list of tasks to do, and I would work on the task which is near deadline, but presentations are need research, so should think about it too.

I want my teachers to .. ease up on us LOL But anyway, I will fisnish my tasks before deadline!

New Boy

I've watched the film "New Boy". This was a story about the boy named Joseph from Africa, who has miserable past and the teacher and students in Ireland.

This film didn't tell me that much information about his back ground. I only know are he was from Africa, his father, working as a teacher got killed by rifle in front of him, he spoke English, and somehow he came to Ireland.

And I could find some differences between two classes, African class and Ireland class. First one, the students in Ireland use the notebooks and pencils when they studied, but the students in Africa used the black boards and chalks and they returned them to teacher after class.

Joseph and 2 boys had a fight, so they were punish by their teacher, then their class mate, Isabella called their teacher "bitch", then the boys looked at eache other and laughed. I've experienced like that situation before. Sometimes, unexpected happening develop a friendship. There was a laughter and also new friendship. Like that thing and that people can fit in the new culture..those are filmmaker wanted to tell us. ..i guess.

Cell phone manner

In Japan, people think these cell phone manners, like not talking on the cell phone on the train and turning off the cell phone around the priority seat for elderly people and disabled people are universal.

The reason why we should turn off the cell phone around the priority seat is there might be somebody with pacepaker. Electromagnetic ray from cell phone affect pacemakers used by people who has heart problems.


2 years ago, when I was in Canada, I saw some stickers of teaching cell phone manner on the side of the train and the bus and there were some signs at a station too, and they were almost same kinds of cell phone manner, so I think there is not that much differences between these 2 countries.

These days, A lot of people don't have the sense to use cell phone. We should consider about the cell phone manner.

The country I'd like to visit is.....

India!! What is your image of India? Curry, sari, turban, or world heritage like the Taj Mahal? India is a country in South Asia. It shares land borders with Pakistan to the west and china and Burma to the east. It's the 7th largest country by geographical area and 2nd most populous country with over 1.2 billion people in the word.

When i was still little, my grandpa who is catholic told me about what Mother Teresa had done for poor people in India. She spent her life among the poorest of the poor. I was so moved. She was perhaps the world's most compassionate person.

When I became a sophomore, I've watched some TV programs which history and lots of world heritage of India were featured, then I felt more and more want to go to India. One day, I've got a pamphlet telling about travelling to India on volunteer work. I felt it was kind of a message from my grandpa to let me go to India. I know people might think I'm an idiot, but I decided to go to India next year (if I could save money for a trip to India LOL). I think volunteering is a noble activity, which is based on free choice and a genuine desire to help others.

And actually, I have few friends who studied with me in Canada as international students in India. I still keep in touch with them on Facebook, so I hope I can see them again down there, then my trip will be fabulous!!

Disney Movies

　　　The media that have changed my understanding of life and way of thinking are Disney movies. For example, Snow White, Peter Pan, The Lion King, Aladdin, and so on. My parents gave me and my little sister lots of Disney movie videos when we were little, so we were raised on Disney movies.

　　　I learned the importance of family tie and unified cooperation from Simba and Mufasa in The Lion King. And I learned if you wish and put a lot of effort, dreams come true from the Aladdin and Genie in Aladdin. In Cinderella, I learned entire life wouldn't be bad days. If I was in bad days, someday, I would have my day.

　　　I love both the stories and music in Disney movies. Most of Disney's stories are from Grimm's fairly tales. They are contain many lessons, but I could learn in an enjoyable format and I think the Disney music helped it.

　　　Sometimes, I still watch the Disney. I know it's kind of kidstuff, but I think it's good to flight from realty like when I feel worried and sad. And I'm always encouraged by them.
