"Embracing the day as another Lesson to be Learned" As we strive to become the person we want to be, we often forgot the real us. Living this kind of place is like a race, sometimes we often use our mask to hide our real identity, which makes us sad. We used to make things which are opposite to our desire just to be accepted in this colloquial world.  We became greedy any things in this world. We dream to become a superstar someday.

 A ttitude and Education I come from a family with a minimum waged income, sometimes it is not minimum and turn to a smaller amount. I used to study in a place with a candle-light on my table.

“The Thoughts Around Us” Allow me to share a story and lesson I've learned for almost two decades of my existence here on Earth. When I was a kid, my grandfather asked me if I can help him plant sweet potatoes in the backyard. Without any hesitation, I said yes. As we continue to plant, we have a little conversation about the trees.  "The trees have a life, as well as other creature. Take care of them and they will love you", my grandfather said. "They do not talk so they don't have a life", I said.  My grandfather smiled at me and   said   "One   day  when you enter the school, you will know what I mean."  That was the day and moment I will never forget. That was the day I promised to myself that I will follow what he had said to me, but before I entered grade school, my grandfather died. I am still thankful because though he is not with me anymore, I still have a moment to remember with my grandfather. During my ele...
