The polite person in my mind is a professor in university, actually I have been in his class for 2 years, very impressive. You know, he looks a bit old, at the age of 60 or something, usually put a smile of joy on face. I majored in history, apparently lots of questions were waiting for me each day. More importantly, he would answer all the questions from the students, sometimes in person, sometimes through the Internet, like email for example. You know, every single day, a formal suit is always with him, which makes him feel quite confident and gorgeous, for real. You know, I talked to him a couple of times, he must have good temper I suppose. He tried to explain something one or two to me patiently, time and time again. I thought that this point was hard to get, since patience is the greatest love to someone and something, those people who want great career need the patience, undoubtedly. For me, if you are patient at your work and life, then you must be a polite person. So, that is it.
I used to do this quite often in my life. Since it could be a good way for me to rest my mind and release my bad emotions in life, especially after a hard day of work and study. By doing so, I would feel quite relaxed. But the problem is that currently I am living in the city center, I don't think that I could see many stars at night because of the environment problems. So, if the sky seems pretty clean I would do it very often at night. That is it.
Probably they wouldn't be happy at all. Since lots of people today have many kinds of goals in life. Such as how to be a top university student, how to get well paid at work or let us say, how to be a good member of that family, a good husband, good boyfriend, you know. The target is really important, especially to those who want to be a good one in society. Without the motivation of life, ordinary people might be fine with what they have had, they may find that life cannot be full of ups and downs, life should be very normal and ordinary in general. They couldn't be motivated at all. Passion might be gone or eventually disappeared in their life. So, I hardly believe that those people who don't have any goals to achieve would be feeling happy. That is it.
It might be. You know, today lots of work has been done by modern machines, this is a new trend and fashionable thing in our life. People today tend to use the machines we have created. In fact, more and more jobs in the near future would be done by modern machines. However, not a lot of people trust them as well. Since there are so many drawbacks and problems on those machines, what I am trying to say is that our technology is not that perfect, and certainly we have to worry about the unemployment rates of the society as well. So, I think that some work might be replaced by modern machines, but not all of the jobs. That is it.
There are actually a couple of reasons behind this phenomenon. Such as their personal interests, or some people are just hoping to release bad emotions. For one thing, most of those ordinary people are really into dangerous sports mainly because they just love it. It has got to do something with their personal interests. They love challenge as well. Coping with different kinds of risks and dangers would be their favorite thing in life. For another, playing extreme sports means that they are more likely to diminish all their fatigues and bad emotions in life. You know, ordinary adults today are usually suffering from heavy workload and working pressure. Apparently, taking part in the extreme sports might help them to release all the negatives in life. So, here are the reasons why some people like extreme sports. That is it.
Not really. I don't think so. You know, lots of adults today are too busy with their everyday regular work and family issues. They have to deal with different kinds of workload and pressure almost everyday. Apparently, their life could be full of families, children and money. It seems hardly to have imagination in life. Besides, adults might have some imagination on their personal interests, most of these men love sports and soccer, women tend to be fond of dancing and beautiful clothes. What I am trying to say is that adults today could have some imagination but not that much. So, imagination is an important part of our everyday life, it makes our life more colorful. So, that is it.
Mention about the topic, a time when I decided to buy a house comes to my mind. A couple of weeks ago, I had such an idea. Actually I had to use my imagination to fulfill my dreams and ideas. For me, it would be impossible to afford a house on my own, undoubtedly. What I could do was about talking to my mom and dad, asking for some help and I had to work hard on that as well. You know, I tried many times to think about how to persuade them, just got some financial support. I imagined in the near future I would get married soon if I had my own house, it could be a wonderful place for me to move in, certainly with my future wife. Plus, I also imagined that I might live in my ideal house with my parents as well, this was plan B. Imagined that I would probably persuade them to give me some money. I have been thinking how to make this target come true, and my imagination was the key, I had to make full use of my imagination. It was not an easy task. I tried three to four times, then talked to them seriously. They didn't say nope to me, but I was told they would think about it. I think I might have some chances. After experiencing such a thing, I found the importance of imagination. As an old saying goes, the creative adult is the child who survived. Thanks to my terrific imagination, now I am waiting for my good news. That is it.
It is hard to say. Young people today don't trust the weather forecast at all. Since they are very busy with everyday life, regular work and academic study, you know. More importantly, according to weather forecast, it should be sunny all day long, but it often rains. So, not a lot of young people trust it that much. However, old people in my country believe that weather forecast could be great to their everyday life, since weather forecast is the only way for them to know more about the weather conditions in life. They are used to it by the way. The weather forecast has been with them for years, you know. So, I think it is pretty hard to tell. That is it.
Ordinary people tend to keep two kinds of things in my culture. One is about old photos or pictures of the families. As is known to all, this has been a part of our traditional culture. Most of our families are most likely to keep old photos, like the family photo for example. When we see these sorts of photos, old things or something of the past would be shown in our memories, for real. Another thing is that old books. You know, lots of seniors in my country have this habit of keeping old books in life. They believe that we could learn something important from past experiences on those ancient books. This is why they love having such things. I suppose that grandparents of the families like to do this very often in life, undoubtedly. That is it.
