May 18 Be brave I had a good talk with one of my students this evening. First, I am happy to have been trusted. Obviously, he has some problems, I mean some serious problems about his life. He is often seen alone, always wearing that far-away and icy look on his face.He kinda has that sullen nature, which also keeps people at a distance. With the college entrance examinations approaching, his problems are getting intense. He does very well in his school work, but he is not happy. And the bad mood has been affecting his life and study lately. His maturity stuns me.He has cocooned himself up in his world. He said once he greeted one of his former classmates on the campus only to get an icy face in return. So he swore to save his words and wrapped himself up. I come to understand that he is not that indifferent but too sensitive and hurts easily. I realize that he is just like me. I had to tell him about my stories to convince him that there is still something that is worth our care and attention. Sometimes, we just tend to expect too much of poeple around us. Maybe it's only our own faults to think this way in the first place. Also sometimes we find some unbearable shortcomings in our friends,and vice versa. But that should't become the big rock in our way to find true friendship. The most important thing is when you get stumbled you can still resume your courage and carry on with your journey. There is something beautiful down the road waiting. I know sometimes, I might just be deceiving myself, but this way gives me hope. Believe me, having hope is much better! Everyday we are learning, from differnt poeple, about how to live our life. Good or bad, they all make us more mature and brave. Because they clear the vague images of things and poeple in our mind. We are finding ourselves more apdaptable. I used to complain a lot about everthing that goes out my line of the world. But now, I am silent, wacthing. You may dislike the world, yet you have to fit it somehow. So you HAVE to be accepting. It's your choice. That you are the only one who can make yourself happy or the opposite is fully sunk in now. Be brave, got it? TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://amei-joelle.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!7DD2F32AC2105B66!539.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
