Hello Claire Oshiro Charles Vera Jun and all,
Thank you Claire:),I totally agree with you. But I want to ask you one more question that is if one person doesn't keep promise to you, what should you do? Give him/her a second time or what?:) Oshiro, as you mentioned, we have countless ways to succeed in life and we can have many definition of success. So could you tell me what success means to you? :) Have a nice day to all !! Jason C. 在2009-10-27 00:13:47，"Rafael Oshiro" <[email protected]> 写道： Hello Jun, Pln, Charles, Vera, Spark, Careless-Capricorn Claire and all Charles and Vera, I agree with Pln when she said you´ve been our motivation partner! Congratulations! Jun, I believe studing abroad is surely a great step in one´s professional carrer and even more, it´s a great experience of life. Maybe the experience a person acquire living/studing/working abroad is priceless. I still hope I can live for a short time in another country to get this experience. I mean short time because it´s hard to let behind all of the friends and family. Althought all the benefits living abroad bring to us I sincerely feel that it´s not mandatory for you to become successful, as Claire said, there are countless ways to succeed in life. It depends on what success mean to you. Charles, welcome back to the group! Indeed, big city centres are 'rat race' where the majority don´t worry about other´s problems and neither with their own health. Take care! Oshiro 2009/10/23 Charles <[email protected]> Hi everybody I am back after several tried days travelling around Chongqing city. The city life-style is fast. Comparing with slow life in small town,the people in city are so hurry. I spent several days on taking care the problems of my elder sister. The problems are not very complicate. However, finding the right place and right people is quite a challenge. There are many unpredictable incidents,such as lost in city, no bus stop, heavy traffic, not in time, ridiculous rules etc. Life is hard. No matter we choose life in big city or small town. We are busy every day. Having few change in small town,The relationships are very complicate. They are all relatives here, which is the most complicate connecting in china. Life is about working. We feel happy when we are useful. The happy come out if there are people depend on us. That's what I feel today. Nice day to you and all Charles 2009/10/20 pln471 <[email protected]>: > > Hello Vera Jason Spark Gail Mikhail Jun Claire and all, > > Nice to meet you,Spark! > And good to hear from you again,Vera! > > It's years of experiences which come from my own painstaking mistakes > and heartbreaks to give you such advice!LOL > > I feel your dilemma,pain,fear,anxiety,frustration as well as your > excitement,anticipation and curiosity for the unknown...:) > > Try to strike a balance between your passion and patience for others > to comprehend you and the path you choose to walk on !;) > Some arguments or conflicts aren't necessary... > > Please to know you find my words comforting!!!;) > Your friend forever, > Pln > > > > On Oct 20, 9:48 am, Vera <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi Pln, >> >> It's a long time coming,but I will still to seek what is my >> wanted.Thank you indeed for what you said to me!It helps me!
