December 30 The Beauty of Life --------------Like yourself One of the worst things you
would do is to go through life being against yourself. This is a major
problem today. Many people have a war going on inside themselves. They
don't really like who they are. They focus on their weaknesses, not
realizing that this negative introspection is a root cause of many of
their difficulties. They can't get along in relationships, they're
insecure, they don't enjoy their life, and it's largely because they're
not at peace with who they are. You can't give away what you don't have. If you don't love yourself, you are not going to be able to love others. If you're at strife on the inside, feeling angry or insecure about yourself, feeling unattractive, felling condemned, then that's all you can give away. On the other hand, if you'll recognize that you are working on you and in spite of your flaws and weaknesses, you can learn to accept yourself. Then you can give that love away and have healthy relationships. ------------ Joel Osteen December 28 The Beauty of Life ---------------- Pressing forward Consider an oak tree. If you plant it in a pot, its growth will be limited. Once its roots fill that pot, it can grow no further. The problem is not with the tree; it is with the environment. It is stifling growth. Perhaps you have bigger things in your heart than your present environment can facilitate. That's why, at times, you should be stirred out of a comfortable situation. When you go through persecution, rejection or disappointment, it's not always because somebody has it in for you. Sometimes, that's the way directing you into your perfect. You are trying to get yourself to stretch to the next level. You will know you will not go without a push, so you are obligated to be uncomfortable for you to stay where you are currently. The mistakes we make at times is getting negative and sour; we focus on what we didn't work out. When we do that, we inhibit the opening of new doors. If this is going to happen, we have to keep pressing forward, stretching ourselves. Get rid of low expectations. Don't make little plans for your life. Don't have little dreams. Don't go around thinking, I've reached my limits, I'll probably never get this promotion. I don't know why I'm not as talents as that other person. ------------Joel Osteen December 23 The Beauty of Love -----------LoveWhy love, if losing hurts so much? I have no answers any more, only the life I've lived. Twice in that life I've been given the choice, as a boy, and as a man. The boy chose safety. The man chooses suffering. The pain, now, is part of the happiness, then. That's the deal. -------------- Shadowlands December 13 The Beauty of Life --------- upcoming X'masThese couple of weeks, without any hint to explain, I isolated myself for a while. I believe that it's fine that a man like me, who inherited a fortune from my parents and be always considered as a social animal, can live without any social life. But I also feel that it's essential in the country of ours that a simple life is the common nature of everybody.
This upcoming X'mas may be the first time I stay here, a small town with acknowledged boring life. I have no plan yet, but, you know, who knows what would happen?
December 07 The Beauty of Life -------- I had enoughMy first TA career for this semester is ending in an hour, which signifies my winter break is starting in an hour and at the meanwhile my 2007 is around the cornner. I have a comfortable feeling that this ending 2007 is something on which I can base my hopes for the future. Yesterday, I just talked with one friend online and suddenly found that I had went through so many books in this year. And there comes the issue of the summary for 2007, actually, I had read enough books, I had made enough good friends, I had lost enough weight, I had hosted enough parties, I had gained enough money, I had killed enough time and I had enough surprises, but nothing negative happened.
Though it may be far from my goals listed on my wall for 2007, I am a guy easy to get satisified now.

December 01 The Beauty of Life ------------------ Alive Just back from the Lust Caution. Though been gently reminded by my friends saying this is a movie with great depression, and some times naive, it is still beyond my imagination. It was more than one year ago I heard this movie, attracted by the beautiful and elegant major actress I went to the theater without any hesitance the first day it is available here. However, it is not a good movie suitable for the students busy with final school work, maybe Steve Chou is the better choice. OK, let's come to the drama. After I went though this movie without any break away from my seat, the only word in my mind is 'alive'. The word is from the man, whose job is demolishing and killing, a brutal, repressive and anti-society role. It is easy to figure out that the only motivation for this man is survive and to lead a better life in the war time. Actually, he is. He and his wife are enjoying an upper-class life while so many persons are dying besides the road. As a man whose roots go deeply into everyday killing, I know how afeared feelings are. I know how difficult it is for him to disentangle and reshape the attitudes and the structure of his life. Though leading a better life than the others, he need something to keep him feeling alive. Fortunately, when one woman came into his life, he immediately felt the smell of lust, though it is converted to love finally. The same thing happened to the lady and her friends， who also would like to find something to keep them feeling alive. It's love, the love to the country and the love to the lover. This can not be easily done on a battleground of violence, as the movie itself shows. It is in recognition of this that the lady and her friends have shown such an outstandingly impressive responsibility for their country, with the risk of dying. Maybe, they would not consider themselves alive if they can not contribute to the lover and nation. That's an interesting question, are you feeling alive or you are just alive? What makes your alive and what makes you feel alive? That's a tough question to me. How about you? |
