My Words of Wisdom
We are all human beings who need to live together on the same earth, but different environments have different characteristics that can help us achieve goals. Some of us like to stay in the safe zone and enjoy the tranquil moments; some of us like to conquer the Neverland of our imagination and enjoy exciting moments; some of us with creative spirits enjoy taking extraordinary journeys. No matter which type of life we choose or which type characteristics we have, challenge always acts as a naughty kid, who hides in the corner and makes us either scream and run away or smile and embrace him as a friend. Lee Perry said, “You can do what you think you can do, so think you can do it, and do it.”
The image math gave to me is a weirdo model consisting of a digital compiled body covered by parabola hair send out flashing radical signals once in a while. The model’s circular face is embedded with lonely points for eyes and a logical expression that is dry and without tedious emotions. When we draw close to it, we feel like we are lost in a barren dessert. There we step into a sea of sand, dazed by the mirages of different types of questions which make us flounder hopelessly to find our direction. Although our survival desire is strong, we are too often too lethargic to stand up and confront our delusions of grandeur.
Every time when I attended math class, I was scared to step into the classroom. Why? Not all Asians are geniuses at math; at least I am the one who is not. The math terminology spoken out from the math teacher was an alien language that blew through my ears and left a breeze in my brain but no knowledge remained. The problem or test I got from the math class was like a blank puzzle, but I had no idea how to solve it. I finally find the way to solve this problem. I realized that there was no way that I could solve this problem or test; so I quit.
Coming to the U.S. gave me a second chance to retake the math, and I appreciate this chance.
