His Name?...

During this long weekend I met one of my friends and we had a good talke. He gave me a reading with a question which I want to share with you.
He said: "My dad didn't permit the liberal use of alcohol. But the stranger encouraged us to try it on a regular basis. He made cigarettes look cool, cigars manly and pipes distinguished. He talked freely (much too freely!) about sex. His comments were sometimes blatant, so metimes suggestive, and generally embarrassing.
I now know that my early concepts about relationships were influenced strongly by the stranger. Time after time, he opposed the values of my parents, yet he was seldom rebuked...and NEVER asked to leave.
More than fifty years have passed since the stranger moved in with our family. He has blended right in and is not nearly as fascinating as he was at first. Still, if you could walk into my parents'den today, you would still find him sitting over in his corner, waiting for someone to listen to him talk and watch him draw his pictures."
After the reading, my friend asked me if I know what his name is.

Water

In my daily life, water is cosidered as the most important thing that I need, not only because it cleanses my body and my evironment up but especially et necessarily because it keeps me alive. Without water, I am completely sure I cannot live.
Water is one of the firstest things I use every day. First, every morning I use water. When I wake up I go to the bathroom where I use water. I take bath, I shave, etc...all of these actions I need water. Second, water is the only thing has surely the capacity washing dirty. Therefore I use it to clean everything I have used such as clothes, dishes, etc...After working or doing something, I wash my hand. Water cleanses dirty on my body as well as everything that I have used.
Thirsty is a big problem that I cannot support. I drink three times at least a day. In the morning when I eat breakfast, I drink tea or coffee, or milk. In my lunch or dinner time, I drink juice or water. After running or walking a long time, I feel thirsty, so I drink water or juice. Whole day I live with water.
All in all, I think that without water, my life would not be possible. water is one of the fundamental needs of my life. Wherever I go, wahatever I do, I need water. I cannot imagine how my life should be when I don't find water one day. This refleclion makes me think about the desert country. How can the people in the desert survive?

More And More

More you get more you need. People are never satisfied in their life. When someone starts doing, getting something, he or she wants more, more and more...One of the useful example is money. When someone has gotten some money today, tomorrow he or she will want to get more than today. Another example is knowledge. When someone started studying something, he or she doesn't want to stop it, but desires to improve, develop hie or her skill on it... I can stop without tell about my personal experience. When I was a child, I liked to play dominoes. We competed. when I won, I never thought to stop. I wanted to contnue it even until 2 am in the morning. I won one time, I wanted to win for ever...Noone is satisfied what he or she have receved.
Here, my point is to reflect why people are never satisfied. Is it natural or someyhing else such as pleasure, desire, or needy...

Wherever I go...

As a foreign student from Madagascar, an island in the south east of Africa, most of the things that I see in New York is new for me. Wherever I go, I see and encounter new things. First of all, when I leave my room going to school I encounter many new people having different physical appearences coming from different countries such as Indian, Chinese, Colombian, Japanese... I mean there are many immigrant people. When I come to shool I learn many new things, English words, etc...When I go to the bus stop I see many kind of cars on the road. When I visit New York city, my surprised becomes much bigger because of many different things I have never seen from my country.
Second, I notice that things change. I visited a place two weeks ago and I found many new things. When I returned in the same place one week later, I saw at least one new thing. Every where I go, I see a new construction, rehabilitation...
My point is that, here in NY, wherever I go, I see many stange things. Through these things, I can improve my knowledge.

Be proud

Some people depend on the others all the time. They don't realise that it good sometimes to be confident wit yourself. I mean that you sould be proud with yourself. That doesn't mean that you don't need the others or you can do everything that you like. Everybody has a limit. People need always help.
