Wisdom of Education

At the parent meeting, the teacher did these four questions on the blackboard:

2 + 2 = 4

4 + 4 = 8

8 + 8 = 16

9 + 9 = 20

Parents said: "You miscalculated."

The teacher turned around and said slowly: "Yes, everyone sees clearly, this question is wrong. But I have counted three questions correctly, why no one praised me, but just saw me The wrong one! "

The teacher then said meaningfully: "Parents, the true meaning of education is not to discover the mistakes of children, but to appreciate what they did right."

Comprehension:

The same is true of being a human. You treat him/her nicely for a hundred times, maybe he/she has forgotten; once he/she is unsatisfactory, he/she may obliterate everything!

This is the humanity principle of 100-1 = 0.

This is true between friends, as well as between relatives and families.

This topic is mentioned today in order to make friendship last forever and affection forever.

Take a step back among friends, and make a step higher among loved ones.

Thanks to the grace of dripping water, one should return a fountain of water.

This is the truth of life.

This is true for children, as well as adults.

Implementing dreams

My childhood dream is about to becoming more true!! I still remember when my high school Psychology teacher asked us, 'What're your dreams?' My classmates answered occupations like doctor, teacher, scientist, artist, etc. However, I replied, 'I want to be a world traveler'. Looking at the map, there're around 190 countries in the world and I wanted to visit as many of them as possible in my lifetime. One of my classmates listened to my answer and teased me, 'Wow, Lillian, you have already thought about retiring plan?' I laughed and everyone in the class laughed too. NO, we don't need to wait to travel until we get old and wealthy. We can dream big and start small, most importantly, start now.

I'm very excited to save up $$ and go traveling around the world. Of course it'll take some time to arrange and implement between work, family, and travel. My goal is to achieve it in five years to finish stepping on the seven continents. By doing that, I aim at experiencing various cultures, documenting inspirations/business ideas, discovering myself, and becoming more open-minded.

Traveling certainly brings me happiness, fulfillment, and opportunities. I always agree that education and travel are two of the greatest investments of my money and time in life. Growing up in Asia and living in N. America, I have checked out two wonderful 'continents' (can't find any other synonyms for this word..). My next goal is Europe -> Asia -> Australia. I have many interests but traveling is my biggest passion. I enjoy finding ways to spend the least but to see the most.

My another goal is contributing the best I can to the societies and communities. I want to volunteer in numerous places and meet different people. Then, I can call it 'my life'!
