【Life】journal- Prospects

It’s the end of this semester, so is our freshmen life. Before entering the university, there are many prospects of college life; let me count it for you. First, to read as much books as I can and absorb knowledge from it instead of browsing randomly is the top priority I have done. I read novels, general artists’ introduction, and some literature. Second, have leisure activities at night, because my family prohibits girls from going out late, so I always want to experience it. I also achieve this prospect by playing basketball and going to club after class.


However, the end of the past stands for the beginning of a new life. I also have some plans and prospects for sophomore, and I list it as follow. First, I must aim what to do in future specifically, because I must find a goal to work for lifetime. Second, face all the ugliness of my selves, and try hard to improve it. It’s important to know what weakness I have, so I can avoid from doing wrong. The last but not least, in order to get along with others in my way, I must form a personal style in humor, living and habits, so that friends will understand me more.

【Life】journal- 日和 funny comics

WEB: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDy0fp3erk&feature=related

There is no one never getting tired of keeping working or studying. Especially in modern society, people usually take too much pressure without access to relax. However, a popular video on Youtube website can solve this problem, 日和 funny comics. There are many series of 日和 funny comics, which combine Japanese humor with their historical events. It describes historical figures or influential events in irony tone, and its fast cadence, without any blank moment, makes people totally enjoy it. In this way, viewer can not only relax themselves but also absorb some Japanese history.


However, 日和 funny comics are not authorized in Taiwanese market, because it has no main topic for unfolding its stories, and therefore, customers prefer to watch it free on-line rather than buy it. Though we can hardly learn any lessons form it, 日和 funny comics is still a good choice for relax after a long tiring day.

【Life】journal- An influential class


  As usual, I go to a literacy class at random attitude, just like other students. Opening the book, which is put on desk as decoration, and listening to the teacher heedlessly are the common pattern. However, today, lecturer shares his idea which stimulates me to think and breaks all my usual routine. There are three stages to obtain creativity, but Taiwanese children usually ignore one of these stages. The first one is reproduction, which means to mimic others’ ideas. Second stage is imagining, named as association; through the “kuso ideas” of the youngsters, it’s evident that we are excellent in this part. Then, Taiwanese skip the third stage to reach final goal, creativity.


  Which stage do we miss? That is criticality. Due to the cultural environment, our children are adapted to accept whatever teachers say without any doubt. Because of this phenomenon, we lose the ability to criticize and yield to the authoritative statement instead of searching the first-hand data to build up our own thoughts. After listening to this viewpoint, I begin to review my attitude toward everything I learn. “Yes, it’s true.” I talk to myself. Acknowledging this stimulates me to view what we take for granted in other ways. I start to meditate why college students should stay in class? Why professor must stand on platform? And, why I never doubt the analysis in literature textbooks? It’s a new begin to me, and a new sight to see this world.
