How to Win One's heart?

its a really hard question, there is no right way to do it. Every girl have different standards of "winning" a heart. As for if you're just going to pick up chicks and gt laid i suppose there are lots of different ways. To win someone's heart, i believe you have to first attract their attention. You attract with either active or passive  way where you go talk to her yourself as active. Other way is only if you are a real distinct individual where you passively ignite her interest and she or him comes to find you. There are various way after that to win their heart. You can look fabulous, be charismatic, be atheletic, be heart warming and a all out nice guy. Be a cold bastard, a punk a what so ever as long as it suits her taste and your taste. There are just no one way to win a person's heart, but everyone usually have their own ways on doing such thing.

Should We Fear Change

No, change could be scary but it also means new possibility in life. I usually embrace changed but also reserve a sense of fear in my heart. Most of the time when i believe that something would be good, 100% of the time things don't turn out the way that i expect them to be "good". Therefore i hold in my mind a sense of awe to change but at the same time look forward to it. Change can be scary and people might not like it but i take it as a way to break free and change or even evolve yourself. I don't like to stay in a same place for too long, i like to break free from the past into the future. i embrace these changes and hope that it brings new life to my life.

How Do We Measure Progress

progress is a complicated thing to measure. In one sense progress could be an industrial global power, but the whole situation of the country is in turmoil. In other case the county could be in a peaceful situation however there are no technological advancement that have occur. I believe it is impossible to evaluate progress of a country looking it at a present moment. Progress of a country is evaluated through time and in the future as we look back to how we developed. For example, i believe the reign of Mao with his great leap at the moment was considered as progress, a leap to the future. However it wasn't into the future where they look back to discover that they have fallen back immensely as their society was incredibly behind culturally with the destruction of their history.

What Can Break Down Prejudice

I believe the thing that would break down prejudice the most effectively is mutual understanding. prejudice comes when we don't know fully on a situation. For example from Pride and prejudice, Elizabeth hated Darcy because she presumes that he is a terrible person. However after Darcy helped her and done all the other things including the letter, Elizabeth realized how noble Darcy is and broke down the barrier of the Prejudice.
Other prejudice such as between the blacks and whites or other ethnicity i believe could be break down by a willingness of understanding from both sides. If the two sides agree to understand each other and both culture, there will be no discrimination or prejudice. Well, i don't think that would actually happen until a major catastrophe comes by and force people to do so.

What is Beauty

beauty is a rather philosophical question of what is beauty. I studied quite a few philosophy of the concept of beauty and in the end i find Khant's idea of beauty best suit what i feel. Beauty is the moment when your part of the mind that deals with perception experience a connection between the mind and the thing that you are seeing. It is the moment of connection that is consider as beauty. Despite the fact that he says beauty has no purpose except to make us feel, as feel that beauty could integrate both idea and the feeling of beauty together.

How can Guilt overpower a man's life

i have seen alot of movie about this idea but never met anyone with such powerful guilt. I have done a lot of things in my past, and there are a few things i have done before did overpower me in specific times. This was a guilt about something that happened to a friend, or was a friend of mine. Ever since that action that i did, everytime something arose that have something to relate to it i remember my actions that day. There are guilt such as killing an innocent man that have haunted people for years. Such an event was most successfully portrayed in the movie "In Bruges" the main character was haunted by his accidental killing of a innocent kid and was never able to walk out of it. The simple mistake led to the ever lasting guilt till the of his life.

How Do You Live Life to the Fullest?

It's difficult to say what it means to live life to its fullest. I have a whole bucket list of the things to do i had to accomplish before i die. I bet doing everything on my bucket list would make my life be lived to the fullest. For starters, i have a gazillion places that i wanted to visit and another weird list of things that i had to do before i die. Things like lick the liberty bell, jump off a building or something spams across the list. However, after all those crazy insane lists, i think what could give me the best pleasure before i die is have a family. A brilliant wife, kids, a house and i myself a decent job. What do i mean by decent? a life job of make art and teach. I wanted to be a professor in an art college where i could exercise my love to talking and painting at the same time. With this profession, i can also come hand in hand (most potentially) fame as an distinguish artist. If i can achieve the stuff in the end, watch my kids grow and able to take care of themselves i say my life is done without regret.

What are the perils of Jealousy

the most obvious thing i can think of is the mortal sin i guess. However the more possible thing that could happen if you are too jealous of something is that it can cause yourself trouble. When you want something really bad, often times you could cause yourself alot of trouble to obtain the thing you are jealous of and thus losing alot of valuable things on the way. Being jealous of things could also cause people to blind. I suffered in jealousy over something that someone had and i tried everything to obtain that thing. In the end i was so blind over that particularly thing i lost track of the people around me and the valuable things that was there for me. The biggest perils of jealousy would probably be this sort of blindness to things that are important in life.

Workhouse

the place where those unable to support themselves go to and the workhouse offers employment and living space. The workhouse are harsh and tiring and could cripple a healthy body however it offers education and a so called life for the people that went there, it's better then having nothing out there.

Class Evaluation

Honors British Literature is really nice. I would say this is one of the most enjoyable literature class i have had in a long time. Discussions with you was great, i learned and thought alot of things besides just basic literature readings. I had the opportunity to really dig in things such as the evaluation of society and the world, which i actually thought was not suppose to be apart of this class's discussion materials. Doesn't matter, i loved the discussions i felt like i'm really touching something deep and promoted my self learning intuition studies. I loved the class, the material was not overwhelming for me, i'm not sure about the other people but it sure was a pretty balanced class for me. The poem and material that was prepared is well thought and interesting, in class discussion circle is a great idea to wake people up. There was only once where i almost fell asleep but that was my own problem. Time management is an issue, you know that but i think it's because of the fact that you actually tries to bring out more meaningful discussion. The stuffs that we are talking right now felt like discussions in college or some 3 hour long classes instead of a 1 and a half hour short class. Really well though out class, i loved brit lit.

How do we fight injustice?

It's really hard to fight injustice. To fight injustice, we have to bring the society to a level of self conciousness to realize that something is injustice. If the people cannot reach that level of self awareness, there will be nothing but violence to forcifully remove injustice.

Grammer and Style - the diary of Samuel Pepys Armstrong space article rewrite

On July 21, 1969, Apoollo 11 became the first manned space mission to successfully land on the Moon. the space shuttle laucnched from Kennedy Space Center, carrying three enthusiastic astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins into orbit. On June 20, Armstrong and Aldrin landed their small lunar module in the Sea of Tranquilty. When Armstrong made his desced to the Moon's surface, the people on earth hold their breath and watched wit great anticipation. He then made the inspirational and one of the most known line, " That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap mankind." Over 600 million excited people rejoiced at the sight of this historical event on television. Armstrong and Aldrin marked their remarkable achievement by planting an American flag in the soil to signify the Americans as the winner of the space race. Just before they returned to their shuttle, the astronauts installed a plaque that bore the signature of each astronaut and President Richard Nixon as well as an inscription that marked their achievement. The inscription read, "Here Men from planet Earth first set Foot Upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We came in Peace For All Mankind." Which marked the magnificent expedition to an end.

Why Keep A Diary

Diary is like a mean of record keeping. For me personally diary is something that i get to express my inner self. it's what holds my darkest secrets where i would've not been able to share with anyone.Lots of times i would have thoughts racing through my mind, alot of these thoughts seemed important to me at the moment but might not be as important in the future. However, i still want to record these thoughts down at the moment because they were extremely important. These raging thoughts are not suitable for the eyes of other people. It's actually quite embarassing if these crazy thoughts were leaked out. With a dairy, i could record these thoughts down and find a mean of release of exhaust. Such as hated of someone or ambition of something that people should not know. Keeping a diary could also improve a person's writing. As they write more, they could develop their own style and in the end develop a distinct style.

Macbeth Soliloquy explanation

        The soliloquy of the dagger appeared in Act 2 scene 2. It is recited by Macbeth in front of King Duncan’s room. It is quite significant since this is the first guilt inspired hallucination that Macbeth will be encountered. His vision of seeing the blade in the air, the blood all signifies what will happen and what it meant. His mind is starting to wander and this scene marks a specific transition of the mind of Macbeth. There are all sorts of metaphor and comparisons in the play that eludes to the scenes and event in the play such as the ringing of the bell. Also, through this scene we see the tragic flaw in him flowing out even more. He is conflicted on the thoughts of murdering the king. His conscience is having a battle with his ambitions as he mentions if this is “ a false creation from the heat oppressed brain”. Then he shows more determination in the end of the soliloquy but in the same time fearful of the fact that what would happen if he is caught. This is a very important scene as we see how Macbeth’s mind is being torn apart and self conflicting, which leads on to the later events in the play.
