As Ernest Hemingway said: “There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.” And that’s, to my mind, the way every person should follow.
I am Yang Qi.It is how I try to live, always improving and getting better. Therefore, to be pretty honest with myself, I decide to do the thing I think I cannot do; I’ve concluded that good and integral qualities of my nature are positive attitude, thoughtfulness for other people, and cheerfulness
I try to live fully and experience everything – have fun, be crazy and unpredictable. If I screw up – then I will have a chance to learn from my mistakes. Neither I try to be someone else or be perfect. I just enjoy what I do, doing what I really want, with the people I really love. Hence, I have a lot of hobbies and pursuits – to revel in going to some new places on my vacation, reading new and fascinating books, watching fabulous movies, etc.
As you may see, I like to have fun and enjoy every moment of my life. That, most likely, creates an impression of a carefree person. However, that is not so. Despite my desire to lead such saturated and funny way of life, I still realize the importance of what I do. So, what is really important in my life then? My family and friends –I take care of these people with all my love and responsibility. Moreover, I can say that I have that kind of caring and understanding approach to many other people. That’s why, currently, I’m standing

    Why is Jim Huck’s “true father”? I think it’s very simple. If you think about it, Jim is really the one who has taught and guided Huck through most of his struggles. From the day Huck and Jim discover each other on Jackson Island and decide to embark on their journey together, Jim is constantly looking out for Huck and acting fatherly toward him. He uses many phrases throughout the book which reveal his fatherly attitude toward Huck, such as on page 115 when he says "Laws bless you, chile, I 'us right down sho' youse dead again.” His fatherly attitude is the most evident in three main examples in the novel: when he protects Huck, scolds him, and opens Huck's eyes to the horrors of racism. First, Jim protects Huck from seeing his father, dead on the abandoned houseboat. He wants to keep Huck innocent and unaware of the things that occur in the world around him, much like any parent who desires to protect their child. Secondly, and most importantly, in chapter 15 Jim scolds Huck when he discovers that Huck has lied to him. Jim, a runaway slave, scolds Huck and makes him own up to his mistake by saying, "Dat truck dah is trash." then, after about 15 minutes, Huck, a formerly racist white boy, realizes his mistake and apologizes to Jim. Finally, Jim is a father in that he teaches Huck about how to strip away his racism. Through forming a relationship with Huck and sharing with Huck his own family story, Jim teaches Huck that racism is wrong---and Huck eventualy decides to save Jim. Although Huck seems to come up with this idea on his own, it is Jim, his father figure, who plants the seed of anti-racist thought in Huck's head and this is the most fatherly wisdom Jim could ever give southern adolescent in the mid-1800s like…

    A new perspective that goes along with the Desiderata “Never compare yourself to others, you may grow vain for there will always be greater and lesser persons than yourself.” Our society has been so accustomed to generalize people. If you are a wealthy church Friar, you considered a humble man of God. In most cases, hopefully, it is true, but for some, corruptness and greed seem to be the right way to live a life. In this world, we will always have to take the bad with the good and the good with the bad, and society must learn how to embrace that…

    "Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind." - Ralph Waldo Emerson. To me, this means that the only thing that keeps someone from reaching their potential is the strength of their mind. Emerson believed the weak minded were destined to fail unless they could train their mind. In life, the only person that you truly need to make happy is yourself. If you lose sight of who you really are, then you have nothing to live for. No one will be able to respect you if you cannot respect yourself. I agree with this quote for a few reasons. I am able to have a high level of respect for others who show their honesty and that belive in what they say. I am also a very honest person with high self respect. This makes me feel like a stronger person overall.…

    An individual’s moral character is shaped by honor and modesty. Honor has to be achieved, and so you can’t just qualify for the status through age, gender, wealth, and ancestry alone. To obtain honor, holding a status of independence shows that one is free and does not need to depend on others. Having this freedom shows others that you have the power to do for yourself and this produces an image of courage. Dominance is shown through generosity and hospitality because it forces others to be dependent. Showing strength both physically and emotionally is also important to gain respect and honor. The idea of self-mastery is shown through physical stoicism and if one is in pain it is seen as a weakness to complain about it (Abu-Lughod, 90). All of the above qualities prove that one is worthy to have…

    I think that sometimes when life gets busy the first thing I do is well on what isn’t working. There isn’t enough time to accomplish everything I need to do. I feel like I am spinning out of control trying to find the ever elusive balance and continue to drop every single ball I am juggling in the process. I somehow think that in the hope of being everything I am letting down from the people all around me. For me it becomes a spiral that I can’t control. Negativity never breeds anything but contempt. Nothing good can come from getting down on myself. These feeling won’t just go away when I wave a magic wand. It takes a complete overhaul of mindset my ability to see each individual tree in the forest, it means I need to slow down and celebrate what matters. So that’s what I am trying to do , focus on the little things, the everyday successes that I know are right in front of me. It requires me to look through a much different lens, one of gratitude. I have amazing people in my life. My family is a unbelievable support and they are my heart. I have colleagues and friends near and far that I can go to for almost anything I need. A multitude of opportunities present themselves daily to learn, connect, and grow. I have the ability to embrace opportunities to wonder, ask questions, and try new things. I am grateful.…

    A good life is defined differently for everyone. Our parents, friends, and the media all comprise a vision that we see as the best way of experiencing our lives. This is different for every person, because nobody follows the exact same path in life, and events influencing someone’s existence are what eventually set the course for one‘s perception of a good, fulfilling, purposeful life. In the cases of some, a good life does not have to be complex. A modest life is often more fulfilling as a busy, complicated lifestyle. Although I don’t necessarily agree that my life would be better if it were suddenly made much simpler, there are people in the world who believe that the best thing one could ask for is simplicity.…

    I guess all would want their life to be filled with all the fun and frolic which they think are missing in their lives now. And probably many don't even know that they themselves are the reason to lose it in their life. It's the thinking that has made man forget he is responsible for each day of his life. Every moment he lives is designed by him. Not all the things that happen are God's will(as all would say). Few things that makes you happy or sad is due to your actions and efforts.…
