To be wiser


Sometimes, people come to me and complain about what they're doing; a job, an assignment, or a test preparation. I always try to tell them: Don't make it a job.


Yeah.. We have to be responsible for our own things instead of work.
Every task that WHO gives you, is a step forword dreams.

"When life gives you lemon, make lemonade."
"Jeff gives you assignment, __________________."

I believe that most of us would rather write a love letter than do it as a task, right?
Think everything in a positive attitude, and you'll feel fabulous about the world.
When you want to complain about something or a person, think about what they've done for you.

If you couldn't think of anything good, then ask others for suggestion instead of bothering others to listen to you whine. Either your friends or an acquaitance can both helop you.

Hmmmm.... I'm optimistic enough. I wish I could pass the positive energy to you.
Don't live your life so hard, okay? Call me anytime when you want to whine.
I was the one, and I just got through.

Response (11/4)

#1 According to the website, the standard penalty for a first-time violation of the Honor Code is a one-quarter suspension and 40 hours of community service. If the student is in his/her final quarter of enrollment the standard practice is to convert the one-quarter suspension into a two-quarter delay in the conferral of the degree.


#2 The six possible punishments are disciplinary warning, reprimand, restitution, disciplinary probation, suspension and dismissal.


#3.

I don't agree with the punishment in those cases. In my opinion, everyone has the right of going to school for educating, and I think the penalities shouldn't include forbiddng students' right of learning at school. Therefore, one-quarter suspension doesn't make sense to me. Nevertheless, I think the punishments are so human that they can't really realize how serious the problems are. (Am I too serious?)

Treasure

I know it's been a totally different life since the moment I was given out.

I can't deny the truth that some of my friends were born with silver spoons, and most of them couldt whethe have fun everyday and worry abour their hair is too short or clothes are out of fashion. Actually I don't care about those appearance things but the chances they could have got before I was born.
Ummm... I envy them sometimes; sigh for myself always.

I'm the one who likes to compete with others so that I can prove the only ability I have; prove that I'm at least better than other people in one area.
But somehow I feel myslef lower than those who have more chances than I do.

Hey! I sigh, but I'm still striving for chances that I gain myself. I believe that chances will become treasure through the hard-working and the efforts.

Well... Did I make myself understood?
