"The Best Is Yet to Come"

I really enjoy the experiment on TWITTER because it is a strong connection for friends. I love to know what they are doing because people just too busy to talk about themselves and we are too busy to listen. Put aside the benefit of receiving information from the others, I did affected by the peers writing. Professor’s two hours sleep time was truly impress me. That was the time when I thought I would never make up my heavy load of homework and tried to give up. Her dedication and inspiration remind me the reason to come to Baruch – to push my life to the next level. No wonder she can accomplished many things in her early age. Her motivation will inspire me to fight for the laziness for the rest of time. Maybe it is unintentional, but people do affect to each other in many ways. I remember an experience on the train. There was an African American lady with her son. The kid said some “mamamama” words to his mom. And just as usual, I thought he was cute and asked “he only knows one word “mamamama”, right?” I had never thought this question would offend this lady that much. She was very angry in answering my question, “no, he knows many words!” I felt so bad at that moment. It made me feel miserable for the rest of the day. I imaged that she would conclude how rude Chinese were and treated the other Chinese badly. I believed the careless mistake not only gave her a bad impression but also caused her a negative feeling towards my race. Therefore, it would be totally my false if the next Chinese got an unfair treatment because my unintentional sentence. It was so unanticipated that one sentence could upset me for that long time – and I remember it still. There are countless interactions between people. See a friend online and google talk for more than one hour and forget what I supposed to do; send greetings to everyone to make them happy; talk to someone sits next to me and gain a friendship…
I’ve happen read one of the Goosebumps books before. It was fun because each time you read can have different endings. A coin is needed when you read the book. At the beginning, you pick three different tools. Having a special tool or not is whether you can solve the problem you face in the book, which will lead you to the different situations. In one problem for instant, picking a banana or a flashlight in the beginning also result different endings. Coin toss is used to determine your luck in many occasions. Basically, this illustrates the two types of elements affect our lives, the random chance and the tools (or skills) you acquire. For example, you meet a friend on the street. He mentions a nice job opportunity. This is a random chance you meet a right person in the right time. The chance you meet him may be the result of you miss a train or he leaves office too early. And then, you go to interview. Evaluating your excel skills and networking knowledge, the manager puts you into an appropriated department. One might argue that this is a stellar time because the “intermingling scenarios that affect our daily lives”. However, I believe this is a completely science analysis. Chance the coin toss is 50/50. Whether you meet your friend is also 50/50. Having a skill ready for your interview is a critical element for your success. That is why we should keep studying more to strength our ability. I think I should be the only one who still believes Teleological time in the whole class. In The Matrix, even full of Descartes’ philosophy thinking, it suggests the purpose of life as well. The key maker is decided to open the doors for the one; the one is decided to create a “new” world; you cannot see the ending if you haven’t made the choice… All of these are linear time concept. One more thing I want to mention that, there is no use to think about all those interactions too much. Missing one opportunity is the way to lead you to a better one - “The best is yet to come”. Giving up the stuff in hand is the way for you to grab the others-you have to empty the water in your cup in order to get another cup of tea.
