The Importance of Confidence

Whatever one does, one should do it with confidence. If one has no confidence, there is little possibility that one can achieve anything when faced with hardships. This truth seems to be self-evident. In reality, however, we do see a lot of people who always complain that they lack the ability to do something or that their difficulties are too great to overcome. For some, this might be true. But for many others, this only shows that they have lost heart.

In my opinion, one should build up faith in oneself as long as he has a right attitude towards his own abilities. We should neither underestimate nor overestimate our abilities. As a proverb says, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” With confidence we can certainly cope with any task we are faced with.

Find Happiness

If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view.

By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive to follow through on your goals. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance.

Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective. Don’t leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.

Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your “worry hours” into “productive hours”. Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when you addopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important part of your world.

Love is the key to happiness

As we all know, love is the crux of a happy life.

Love helps us stay calm and serene even when things are tough.

It can carry us through the hard times.

Love looks for ways to be of service.

Love is enjoying the surprises of life, and being totally delighted with what life gives you.

Love is the key to happiness, and it is a real blessing to others. 　

People who love make the world a kind and gentle place and other people feel safe around them.

They appreciate differences instead of making them a cause for prejudice or fighting.

Declaration of Love

I think I am good at Declarations of Love. But to say that I think I need to explain what my version of D.O.L is. For me a declaration of love is very simple. It is when you say or do something that has some depth to it. Something a little more deep then the usual hugs, kisses and “I love you”.

It could be like just looking at your partner and saying “I love you so much because …………”. It could be genuinely giving a gift for no reason at all. It could be that recognition like when your partner is working hard saying, don’t worry about dinner, I’ll sort it out. Everyday you show your partner you love them by saying the words or giving hugs and kisses. A D.O.L is taking it that next step and really adding a sign of gratitude or depth to your feelings.

Obviously it can be taken a whole lot further by big gestures like surprise dinners, holidays and the like. But seriously these things are not the ones that make the biggest difference. For me, when someone shows that little bit of depth, I am over the moon. In a way it’s a little bit of affirmation of how much you are cared about. The reason I am a big believer in D.O.L’s is that I have a built in need to make the person I’m with really secure in my love. Again, I know they know how I feel, but going that little bit further whether verbally or physically just sets it in concrete and reinforces the level of commitment and depth of love I have for them. For me the key is never being complacent. I refuse to ever allow myself to become complacent in my relationship.

China’s National Day

On the day of China’s National Day, almost Chinese students came to the fourth floor to celebrate our National Day. We sing the songs to impress our warm greetings and best wishes for motherland, and our dean also make a presentation to celebrate and wish China sincerely. Then we watch the parades, when we saw the TV, we all be touched. In addition, we all write some wishes to our country after the celebration. Actually, I was crying and deeply affected, especially when I sing the songs. I wish our country could thrive and prosper day by day, and have a brighter future!

Some last days of this semester…

Hello, this is Sandy sitting in the library on Tuesday of the final week ^^
As this is the final exams week, so many people are sitting in the library and trying to use their time as efficiently as possible…The feeling is quite great with the final week….
However, as for me, I do believe that even though we have a lot of jobs to do, we need to spend sometimes on relaxing and refreshing…:)
And now, let the melody of Tchaikovsky touch our souls and clean up our stresses ^__^

Celebrate my friend’s birthday

Recently there have a lot of people hold birthday party. Today is one of my friends birthday. In the morning, we went to the downtown, although it was a little cold, but we had a wonderful time. We played and eat a lot. In the evening, we went to roast meat restaurant, and celebrate it. We ate, talked and laughed. In addition, we also sing the song “Happy birthday to you” and everyone ate a piece of cake. We felt that we were the happiest people in the world at that time.
