Call Me Strawberry

Strawberry is a kind of fruit which is easy to get hurt. As everybody knows, strawberries cannot be pressed and put in an inappropriate environment. If you do so, strawberries would be rotten very soon. In Taiwan, people use strawberry to describe a person who cannot suffer pressure and adapt different environments. It seems like strawberry is a disparage word to describe some one. However, is that true?

In these days, the world change fast, and everybody should work harder than before to catch up the changing speed. Therefore people have to suffer more pressure to make themselves improve, otherwise they will be eliminated by times. These are thoughts of eastern people who afraid to lose to others since the day before world war two. At that moment, westerners were stronger than easterners, the former invented many weapons to conquer other countries of the latter. Easterners suffered not only pressure but also losing freedom from ruled by westerners, so easterners worked hard, trying to catch up even exceed westerners, in order to live in a comfortable life. There was only one country almost did so, it was Japan, but technically, they did not success.

In the eastern Asia, the thought of be better than others to live in a comfortable life has hand down to nowadays. People try to work very hard to exceed other so that they can live in a life of ruling others, not ruled by others. They think this kind of life is the greatest life. So, if you want to be better than others, you have to work harder. What if you want to be the best? Even working hardest cannot be proved to be the best. Some people worked very hard all of their life but cannot be the best. It tell us that being somebody is very difficult because somebody are only some of people can be. Therefore, to be the best is not the comfortable life for people to live.

Westerners found it hundred years ago, they raised up evolution of democracy fight for human rights after Industrial Revolution which is the time when people worked very hard. After the democracy evolution succeeded, people can live in a freedom, casual life. In Taiwan, people live in this kind of life will be called strawberry because they only do what they like, what they want. Most of people think that there is only work hard to catch up the advanced country, but they forget that why the advanced countries called advanced is because people in advanced countries have more human rights, and can do what they want, what they like in their countries, but work hard all days. The time of Industrial Revolution had passed, and the time of human rights has came. If you still only work hard, it will not help your country improve.

In my opinion, we cannot say strawberry is a disparage or praise word. It's just a word which symbols human right. Strawberry is expensive, rare, and not easy to plant, just like our life which is priceless, none is the same, and not easy to take.

Curse You, Miss D!

I cannot believe why I can talk you like friends. You always think you are right, and never review yourself. I told you that you should change if you cannot adapt the environment, but you just ignored my words.

In fact, you can be a lovely guy that everyone likes you. However, you always say something that makes some people hate you. Why don’t you learn to hide your faults but show advantage. Maybe I am not your friends all the time, but I take you as my friend in the beginning of the college. I gave you suggestion to help you adapt the college life, but you never took it. You don’t think why somebody hates you, but find their disadvantages to tell every one to hate him. What a terrible person you are!

Now, you bitch, I don’t want to tell you what I really mean. I just want to watch a exciting drama. There are many things that you don’t know, so your next step can take you to heaven and hell. Curse you to have a terrible college life and curse me to die as soon as possible. What a horrible world that I hate to stay in! Damn you!

A New Semester Has Begun.

After winter vacation, and Chinese New Year, all of us started to work. I, a university student, also have to go to school today, but I don't want to go to school because I think that winter vacation was not long enough. Even though, I still go to school this morning.

New semester should have a new wish, and my wish is to be better and better on my school work. In fact, I did not do well on last semester. My father told me to work harder in order to get good grades, and I know it but hard to do. The thing I study is much more and harder than senior high, so I can get used to it. However, I must get used to it in this semester so that I can have happy university life.

Finally, I hope that all the things will go smoothly, and can be all high pass!

Disorder of Emotion

It is always sunny in Kaohsiung, but not in my mood. I am very down recently, worrying many things such as exam, life and society. I really want to hit something until my hand is broken. Only to do so, my anger can be eliminated.

Yesterday, I had a dinner with my classmates. I am “looked” happy, just look like happy. One of my classmates joked on me, and I also play a trick, hitting his arm. In fact, I was not unhappy about his joke, but it seemed that I used too many strength. He looked like hurt very much. I felt sorry to him. I cannot control my strength when I am in bad mood. Maybe, I used my biggest strength. When I felt something wrong, I apologized to him flippantly; actually I am seldom serious in front of others except my family. I felt that he was very angry after I hit him. I really didn’t do it on purpose. I just wanted to make fun, but it was not fun to him.

I hope that I can get through this emotion quickly. With this emotion, I cannot sleeping, studying and do many things. If this situation continue for a long time, my prediction would come true.

An Earthquake

Today, we have an earthquake here, which is the strongest that I have ever met. However, I didn’t feel frightened but exciting. That is strange, isn’t it? Most people would be scared to dead, but I felt happy. Why? Because I don’t have any experience in such a strong earthquake, which shook up and down, and back and forth. It is so exciting. I like the feeling which is nearly to dead without pain but excitement.

At that time, I was in the school library. During the earthquake, somebody screamed, somebody ran out of the building, somebody hided under the table, and still some people stayed at their seats. Anyway, it is fun for me.

By the way, I don’t like college life which is boring and filled with danger. Why? Everyone wants to have good grades, it is not a big deal actually, and some people sent rumor everywhere. It is very horrible, I pretended not knowing anything, and try to be stupid. I think that it will make me save. I wish I can finish college quickly. It is not what I imaged before.
