Hi Charles John and all, Charles,you remind me of Anu in so many ways. Both as clever as you can be,and both at the same time as aimless as you don't want to be...
Sometimes I think it's a curse when success comes too quick and easy for us. If I may add something,being too intelligent is another curse.:( When I was your age,Charles,people around me used to say,'You think way too much!'LOL Sometimes it's true because the more I try to sort things out,the worse or the more confused I feel... Life is an ongoing process which waits for no one! Are there more or higher mountains to climb? You bet there are plenty! It is as true as Claire quoted today what John Lennon said,'Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans.' There are as many pros and cons when working and living in a bigger city. It all depends on what you want to get from it. Since I have never been to China,I have no clue how tough it is to survive in bigger cities there. But at times like this,you need to count on your friends,acquaintances,relatives or maybe even strangers more than ever! What you need right now is something or someone to motivate you to find a mediocre job,then save enough money to come to Europe! How do you like this crazy idea?!LOL And John,I hope my English hasn't disappointed you so far!LOL It's far from perfect!!!That's why I am here to sharpen my writing skills as you all try to do.;) If any of you would like to know more abpout me,simply click on [email protected] on the home page here,go to the very first message I posted last March.;) I have no idea how difficult IELTS test is. I've never helped anyone on it. If you don't mind,please tell me more in which areas you find frustrating. Let's see how to improve your grades... Good night,everyone!
