What do you need choose between optimist and pessimist?

Why does Winston Churchillprompt say " A pessimist sees the difficult in every opportunity, an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."? I agree with this sentence. It always goes along with us. However, pessimist and optimist depend on sittuations and humans.

why a lot of people killed their families and themselves in America now. Because they are pessimists. For example, one person feels happy with his/her life because he/she has a lot of things (money, cars, hoouses, and a good family). Suddenly, he/she is laid off and be in debt because of economic crisis. He/she feel hopless, and not be able to accept the fact ,and kills his/her family and himself/herself. However, sometimes doctors lie thier patients because they need them to optimist in their disaese and get over. For example, I had a friend died of cancer. His doctor predicted that he still lived in 6 months because of cancer. But everytime he met doctor who always said " Don't worry. With the modern technologies you will over come". Because he want my friend to optimist and against his cancer. If my friend were pessimist, he would died soon 6 months. I think optimist is necessary for our lives. That is why I am optimist.

I know that some times we see situations that make us feel the worst things. We can not control ourselves, may be do harmful things to us . Persionally, I recomend that we must believe in ourselves to sovle our troubles and think of future.

Friend

In my country, I have a best friend. We studied together from high school and have become friends. What difference and similarity are between him and me?

The first thing, I don't have to tell you. Absolutly know that we are have different about face, body.(Hi!......). However, we have the same hobbies are traveling, swimming, go fishing, and karaoke. For example, when we studied high school, we felt bored. We were absent class and went to Vung Tau by motorbike,, or other places in my country. Some times, we and our friends made party at the beach for camping and go fishing About the different things.

Both of us have the diverse lives. I love cooking, listening countryside music, watching Korean drama, and Hong Kong mobvies. He opposites to me. He hate cooking, listening countryside music, watching Korean drama. He just love action movies, beer, games. That's all about us.

Now I am studying in America and he is staying at home with his wife and 2 years old son. But we still contact together and some time tell our stories at high school.

What do animals want to speak with us?

One person asked me: "If one day animals can speak, What will they say?". " Animals are speaking with us." I said. Why do I say this sentence? Because animals have thier own world and languages to contact together, however, they are using actions as language to illustrate us to understand. They have two actions in their language with us, as well as there are the good actions and bad actions.

These actions are good. Nowaday some animals are our friends and live with our society. They understand our language. When we speak to them to ask them to do something for us, they use their language by actions (shouting, dancing, etc.) to answer us or request. For example, my dog is the best friend. When I feel sad or happy, I can speak with my dog, and he is ready to lie on love seat to listen to me. Sometimes he make crazy actions let me feel happy, or request me take him outside for walking. In addition, we use animals as security guards and magic persons. We have police dog. They have different roles in police. Some dogs are trained to find drugs, heroin. When they smell them, they will bark to police know. Other dogs are trained to attract terrorists. Some dolphins jump from water to space, or some tigers jump through the fire bars in circus shows. There are the friendly actions as language to talk with us. How about other face?


Second is the bad actions. Animals attracted us. For example, sharks sometimes attacted people at the beaches of Sandiego. Tigers killed people at villages in India. Six elephants destroyed the corn fields and more in my country. What do you think about these actions? They want to say that we are attracting their world. Nowaday, population is heigh, and we need more megacities. That is one reason which we have to destroy forests and mountains. Thus, food is consumed more and more by us. We have to kill a lot of animals. For instance, every year thousand of sharks and whales were killed for consumingin Japan. Thus, we are making polution and infuenced to sea animals. Every year thousands of oil spill in ocean and kill a lot of sea animals. The above actions to serve for our modern lives.

Totally, they want to say that we need to think about our future, and

stop the actions let they exist in this planet because we and aniamls are friends.

Sound track's life

The word "Soccer" is using in America, but British says "Football". Football is the sport that very popular around the world because people like it. " The cup of the world" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzZsTUkU-CA&feature=related was the song at Olympic 2000. I love it.

Everytime, I feel excited when I listen it ,and it recalled me a story. It happened by 1998. ASIAN football is celebrated everyyear in Asia. That day our football team won the Singapore team to step into final match. The final match would have happened between Thailand and my country(VietNam). Most people in my country were happy and excited, and they were proud of our football team from old people to young children because they could compete to get "Gold cup". That day they went outside ,sang, shouted, and brought everything (flags, post and pan, drums, etc.) to happy to win. The crowd of people using vehicles sang and shouted on the streets around cities. They looked like thousands of bees, ants got out of nest group. This event happened all night.

That is why I love this song. Sport is world peace. It doesn't have war and bring people in the world together. "Ball is Globe"

Weather

We are from other countries in the world and make friends in America. Now we are feeling the weather in CA. But some poeple satisfy, and other persons aren't pleaseant. Personally, I don't like this weather because it is hot and cold. I just love a season in my hometown is raining.

Just only has two seasons: sunny and rainy. Raining starts from the late of April to Septemper. Most people don't like raining in Ho chi minh city( my hometown) beacause they can't go anywhere, buying, selling. In the U.S people always go ouside by car, but motorbikes are popular in my country. It's easy to get wet when they go out. Some my friends told me " "Oh! I don't love it.", " I can't go with my girld friend.", or "It's extremely sad and bbbbbbbb.............boring.........." . I accepted that rain is sad. The time stops in a little second, minuites, hours, and every thing is quite. That is one of reasons I love quiet. The busy city with the sounds from motors, constructions, smoke from industry, and human actives is stopped or decreased by raining. Thus, environment is fresh and cool because a lot of trees, streets, and buildings were taken a shower. I think that is the time for city relax. When I studied the secondary school that has many trees outside, I loved watching raining at school. While it was raining, the strong winds hit trees, and thousand of things from trees as a plenty of butterflies (helicopters, or the small birds) were felling down. These images were kept in my mind. Now I don't watch raining because not rain in California.

I think you have the favorite weather that you like in your country. I hope I know more about you.

Old Fears

Subject of this week is "old fears". Somone is afraid of death, money, love and so on. I have a secret to tell you about my fear. "What scares me?" you will ask. First of all I want to ask you : Do you beleave that we have the third world? I think some of you say "Yes", others say "No". However, almost people in my country beleave that death perons are still around us, and they invisible and ative in their society ( its name is the third world). These persons are named "ghosts and devils". That is my fear because I am araid of seeing them.

"Have you ever seen them?" I know you will ask me this question. I have never seen them. But I worry about them. When I were a child, I were afraid of sleeipng, staying at home alone. In my mind, they would appear and bring me to their world. Especailly, I don't like funerals. Everytime, myneighbors died. I had to go to other ways to get into my home. I imagined that if I went to there, they would get up and follow me. However, I really like watching ghost films and horror movies. Now it doesn't fear me.

I think everyone has a fear. We will comover fairs. For example, now I live far my parent and this problem disappeared because sometimes nobody sleeps in my house with me.

#2 Getting around

I have been living in the U.S for 1.5 years. I accepted that the constructions about roads is best in the world. For example, freeway is one of the best constructions in America. People can drive on it without traffic light and their speed is 60 to 70 mph (120km/h-150km/h). However, what do think about the public transportation in the U.S? It has two faces.

First of all it is good. In America almost people have cars, but more and more persons don't have. For example, many old people and poor persons don't have driver license as youth guys and me. They are able to to go markets, shops, hospital by taking public transportation. In addition to using transportation we can save money because we don't have to pay gas, insurance every month. Now polution and global warming are the big problem for human. They want to prevent these problems not only for our but also for our future generations. That's why We must decrease using individual vehicles ,and use public transportation. This is good public transportation's face.

Another face of it is worst. You have to depend on schedule and waste time. for instant, California where I am studying and living. Everyday I get up at 5 AM because I must take 2 buses to go to school to study at 8AM. If i miss one of two buses, I will be late. Sometimes i must go to doctor or Vietnamese markets. The bus take me 4 or 5 hours up and down. In addition, we are limited weight. We want to buy a lot of food and TV or printer, but You can't because it is heavy and you must take. That is one of reasons people want to have car.
