Once upon a time

...I was in latnite talking to Nate. That was after I hung up from talking to Angus."I sometimes feel I don't have friends.""Somtimes how you feel doesn't reflect the reality; haha, I am taking too much philosophy.""That's probably true; but the way you feel is what affects your emotion, not the reality."...I guess the conversation did not last long. Then we started another topic on girls' appearance and made a ranking.:)

speechless

Sometimes I forget how to talk.I asked my teacher or my close friends a lot the question a lot a few years ago."What do you talk about when you are dealing with people you barely know?"Perhaps I have become more able to manipulate on this kind of skill so now I don't usually worry much about that.Somehow other kind of questions come up to me. Don't really feel like talking. Even with close friends I can be really impatient. Not all the time, but often enough for me to notice that. For people I barely know. I do not what to say and that is not because I don't know about what to say but rather I am just not in a mood of making new friends. Of course we don't always categorize different friends and make a label on them, but it seems we all tend to hang out with those we are more favorable with. It's normal and totally understandable, but is that a problem?I am lost...maybe not only does bad answer exist, but also does bad question.

God

I feel bad coz I have a math midterm tmr but I don't feel like studying at all...and I am trying not to swear now...so now words are totally not enough to express my feelings.but that's not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about religions.I was raised in a Buddhist family. My family also believes in some sort of local religions just like most Taiwanese people do.Sometimes I envy those who have religions b/c when they are down; they have someone out there supporting them. Nate, a friend of mine who is a Christian, told me the most interesting theory that I have ever heard last Friday."How do you know whether God exists or not?""If god doesn't exist, who creates all these things?""Well...still, can't say God exists who I don't know how all things are created?"......"Think in this way. It's wiser to believe in God because if God really exists, then you will be saved by believing him."...Good point...Still...I wasn't convinced.But I think religion is a good thing to have since it gives you support when you're down.I'm addicted to this website now.Due...should study now.

Courage 2

Stress:Does it stimulate or stifle courage?
There's a famous graph in industrial psychology that despict that under very low levels of stress for enperiencedfolks, perforance isn't as great as it is when there's a modest level of stress. But it's a parabolic curve. It goes up for a while-more stress, better perforance-but it crests at a panic point. As strress goes beyond that panic point, perforance tapers off. The callind of a leader is to ensure that each person who works for her doesn't reach that point and become paralyzed.
~Michel Useem

Is courage an individual or a group activity?
Courage is not a product of individual behavior. It's a function of feeling part of social fabric,of a network that's going to do something that has never been done before.People do gutsy things because they're in a group.Leaders articualate those goals and incarnate the behavior through symbolic conduct to get people to follow.
~Warren Bennis

Class writing

Today is a good day, I feel vary comfortable. I hate rainy day. I feel sad when I listen the rain fall. But sometimes rain day can bring us difference feel . Example I feel that when I at rain day I can think everything. I think I would not go to school at rainy day.
Because it was very trouble for me to walk on the road in rainy day .It can make me so wet and uncomfortable. I have to bring the umbrella. It also seems a trouble to me. So, I love sun day, and hate rainy day.

Courage

What is courage?
What we label courage is a strong commitment-and the key word is emotional-to some ideas.Those ideas could be called a vision for what we think is important in life.They could be called principles of what is right and wrong.When people don't just have an intellectual sence that these are logically good, but are deeply committed to them, they're developing courage.
~John Kotter,Profess,Harvard Business School

How do you decide wkat's bold and daring versus just stupid and reckless?
There's no such thing as a safe risk. That's an oxymoron.Allcourage is a risk. None of it is safe. The only way to decide is through hindsight.
~Warren Bennis,Distinguished professor of business,University of Southern California
