And now you know if you work hard, you will have the best thing.
DeleteYou are a very kind-hearted person, Thinh!
DeleteI believe in positive things
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the power of positive things makes each person see life with good perspective and hope. I remember the great book called "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne, where she highlighted" the power of positive thoughts to attract positive things as same as the Law of Universal Gravitation. “We must all look to the future hoping to find the result of our efforts, and we should never feel failure even if things do not go as we want. The key to success is to persevere and not surrender even if we make mistakes along the way. For example, If we are having a bad day for many reasons such as conflicts at work, delayed homework, debts or family problems; we have to think about the solution of the problems with positivism, and do not drown in them.
To have hope in what we do is crucial to our success in the future also. Hope is the last thing that is lost because it is the faith that you put into whatever you do. I believe if you are in trouble or somebody else, and you think that everything is going to be solved with optimism, a miracle is more likely to happen. Our mind controls our body and our actions, so it is good to think before acting and do it with optimism and hope.
Right. Positive things make us happy and more motivation
DeleteThanks for sharing Byrne's book's name. I intend reading it during my summer break.
DeleteI believe in the destiny and the goods things in the life. I remember the words my grandpa told me the life is for two grups winners,and losers what grup you want to be? It's right because the people make effort and dedication always made their success.If you are positive and the things you do from the heart ,you will always do well. I believe the effort of each person in the end come the gains. The persist, dedication , and effort are the paths to succes.
ReplyDeleteTry the best you can and then you can have everything my best friend.
DeleteTry the best you can and then you can have everything my best friend.
DeleteI like your concluding sentence about persistence, dedication, and sincere effort.
DeleteWhen I am a kid, I am very shy and scare everything. In school, I scare to bully by friends or older children. In my home, I always take care everything and scare my parents upset. So I always do everything that my parents want from me. Although these were not what I like to do, I even do because my parents want. Until I went to university, everything changed. I arrived and lived only me in Saigon city. Everything was so difficult for me when I made decisions anything. I could not believe in myself, but I had to do because my parents and my relationship could not help me in the moment. Only me had to look for harbourage, road to school, supermarket, ... Everything was so new with me. I worried and fear so much. If I do not make up one's mind in my life, nobody can make. I thought whoever even have a lot of wrong decisions in their life. But if they believe in themself, they know their mistakes and edit them, they will successful. I believe that in order to be happy and successful in life, I must believe in myself. I think to develop in life we must take chances and believe we can be successful.
ReplyDeleteYou are right that self-confidence and trust in our own abilities are key to success.
DeleteIn my life when I was kid until now, I have many beliefs I believe in.One of those beliefs is faith itself, when you believe in yourself and say that I can do this, you will certainly be able to do it.This means that you don't give up,if you fail in something you have to try again and again until you reach the dream or goal you want to achieve it. This belief has always been with me. I still don't know the impossible in my life, so if I wanted to achieve something, even if it was difficult, I know that I will face a lot of difficulties but in the end I will reach my dream.
ReplyDeleteI read a quote somewhere that 'nothing is impossible; even this word has 'possible' embedded in it.
DeleteI Believe in Self-Knowledge
ReplyDeleteThe self- knowledge mean how much some person got ideas, experience and, education. In my opinion, the self- knowledge is important for many reasons. First, to determine how he or she realizing the life. Second, how the self- knowledge makes the person valuable. Finally, how the old person got the self -knowledge .
First reason, the knowledge in the life can make the person realizing the things and realizing the life. It helps the person know how to live in this life and what he or she should do, what they should receive. It helps him or her solve many problems that the person faces in that life.
Second, it makes the person more valuable and attractive in the community. For example when you listen to someone and you know him or her has a lot of experience in the life you will enjoy listening to that person and try to make some foresight you heard. His or her knowledge makes that person important and valuable.
Finally, how the old person got self-knowledge and experiences? Some people said that when the person get older when his or her knowledge and experience goes higher and higher. This is perfectly right because the person gains this experience from the whole life he or she live but, does it mean that the youngest can't get any knowledge and experience until he or she be an old person? That's not correct because the person can get it by reading or looking at some books and get some from old people experiences.
In conclusion, self-knowledge and experience is very important now because now we are in the technology age. Every person must improve his or her knowledge to keep up minds.
They are good ways to believes .Knowledge is not easy to improve, but if we believe, we can do that!
DeleteHave you ever heard a saying: " When one door closes, another one will open."? It is true. After graduation, I made progress to apply for a school to study abroad in Australia. At the final step which is interviewing for the visa. Although I prepare for that stage on the phone very carefully, I was not approved after waiting for the result about ten days. At that time, I felt very stressed and depressed. With my family's encouragement, I went to church every day and prayed to Jesus. I always have a strong belief in Him. Once again I decided to do it again, but I changed the destination which is the US. I revised all my strong points and weakness. Continuing praying, I got the accepted letter from a school in the US. Finally, in the interview, I answered all questions confidently because with my preparation God would guide and support me. Therefore, I passed the interview for the first time.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know that quote. It has inspired me a lot since I started living in the US.
DeleteIsn't this quote like this one: "There is light ahead of any dark tunnel."
DeleteI agree with you, we should never be defeated when something does not go well, because better things are sure to come.
DeleteI Believe in ...
ReplyDeletePeople always have different beliefs. For me, I believe in so many things. First, I believe if we work hard, we will get the result as we wish. Some people don't think that way. Many people have a negative thought about this since they witness to many cases that people didn't get what they wish after working hard. However, I have a different view. If you work hard and still don't get the expected result, you should work harder to get it. I have strong belief that nothing is unfair if you truly fight for it. As a Catholic follower, I aslo believe in afterlife. What is "afterlife"? In term of Catholic, it means "the life after death". When people die, they are going to see our Lord, Jesus, then He will judge them and decide if they can live in the Heaven with Him or go to either the Hell or the Purgatory. I believe that I will meet my beloved ones who died. That's all I believe.
I really like your message of morality and good sense.
DeleteBelieve
ReplyDeleteIn my view, many people can believe by many ways. May be they believe theirself , their family or their religion. For me, the same kind. I believe in many things. First at all, I believe my family, and trust them. I can't suspect them because they have never make me hurt. Second, I believe myself , but I always have mistakes. For example, I know I am not perfect, but I know I always try to make many good things for me, my family, and people around me. Sometimes, I got problems, make them feel bad. That is why I mean. Finally, I believe if I try to become a good person like try to help people and do not hurt everyone, I will have a happy life forever. That is three my believes in my opinion.
That was a good my friend, I hope you will get everything you want.
DeleteYou already are such a good person, Phuong!
DeleteI believe in the life because when something happens, it has a meaning. For example, when bad things happen to us, it is because it has a teaching, so it is a lesson. In my view, everything happens for a reason. However, the life is like a fantastic book, every day in our life is each page with surprises, challenges, joys, and sadness. The most important things are that people need to focus what they want to do, and how can we get it because the life is complicated and short, but it is amazing. I like to think about what I did today and how to improve it for tomorrow because the time is gold.
