Reflections on Students 2.0

I read a blog entry called "Should an 18 Year Old Really Know What They’re Going to Do For the Rest of Their Life?" It's a blog entry about a girl when she was choosing her career and major as she applying into college. I think it is very true that we must to start thinking our career as we are becoming an adult. I'm turning to 18 this August. It is a unavoidable fact. I've started to think of my career when I was 16. I want to be a businessman in my future; dressing in the suit with ties on Wall Street, New York.

The second I read was called "The Well of Inspiration" It talks about how the inspiration is important to her as a writer. When her inspiration came on her writing, she was able to prove everyone that she could make her goal.

Newton to Dr. Hoenikkers

My dad is a geek. He doesn’t even know what outside of the world looks like. He concentrates on his works more than anything else. He spends more time desk than on his dinner table. One day, I brought him to beach. He does not want to go. He still wants to keep working on his new research. I persuade him for like the whole morning. He finally came out with me. On the way, our car dies. We both went off the car to fix. I opened the engine lids, trying to fix it. But my dad yelled at me. “No,” he yelled at me “Let me fix it! You do not know anything about fixing a car. You’re just a kid!” He spent another hour of fixing the car, and drove it to the beach. Eventually, we arrive the beach.

"Cat's Cradle" Reading Circle- Part 1

Today was my first time to read a book as in "literal circle". I've never done this; dividing jobs for each person to read a book. It was actually quite fun. My job was to do research on the vocabularies. There was one word, "Nobel Prize", grabbed my attention after the reading circle. Mr. Carpenter brought up a idea said The reason why Nobel established this prize is because he felt regretful after the invention of gun powder. This is very similar to the Manhattan's Project, because people who were participated, actually also felt regretful after bombing Hiroshima. There was also another foreshadowing on the first page. The narrator called himself "Jonah". It is a Christian name. I haven't really finished researching on the name, and making connections. But I will update it as soon as I find out. :)

Change The World

When I was little, I've been thinking about being famous when I grow up. There are many different ways to be famous, for example, being a singer, criminal, politician, rich guy, actor, professional player and also model. But, the way I think to be famous in the future-- is to help someone. Have you seen the movie called "Pay It Forward" ? That is what I actually want to do in the future! There is a really famous and rich guy in Taiwan. His spent his first half life on earning money, and after his year of 50, he started to spend his money on some foundation, such as cancer foundation, etc. To be famous is because you want people to notice more about you; it is easier to spread love and ideas through the media, like giving lessons to people. What I want to do in the future in order to change the world, is to become a rich man first. Basically, this is why I'm going to be a business man, because it is easier to earn big money. After I quit my jobs, I am going to help people around the world, to let people who never love people or being loved by people to love each other. There are a lot of people who die every minute because they do not get loved. There are also thousands of people who were born with love but never satisfied it. I want to let all the people around the world to understand how good is it of being loved. We must to cherish it; it is precious. Because only love could let people put down their weapons, tolerating each other, and creating the world peace. Love people who are around you, and let the all hatred become love.
