Self-Centered
Let's continue with the discussion on the self-center generation. We actually are all more or less somewhat self-center as from my modest opinion. We all always mention ourselves first, and considering things first from ourselves first, doing things based on our own priorities first. It's nothing wrong actually, but if we do think of someone a little, that will be great! Isn't it? For example: When we enjoy our music on the train or bus, we can turn our volume a little lower. May be we enjoy the music, but people next to you not. When on the street, try not to litter since other people are using the street too.
Well, the examples above are just about when being outside, how about at home? As at home, most teenagers and young adults, they have parents who always take care of them, and yet these have lead them to not knowing how to take care of themselves and not considering others more. Why? They don't know how to clean and they don't need to help since they think these are not their jobs, just the parents works. Sounds familiar? Yes, you can see around, this may be one of our friends and even oursleves. We always take for granted and not knowing parents spend time to help us or even roommates when we are staying outside with freinds (unless all of the "staying together" don't care about the house).
We have to think more of others not just outside our own house, but also our family who always help taking care for us. Otherwise, we are just another person who spit on the street, smoking in front of others etc. Well, may be this is just a random thought, but it's important to understand that we all need to do our parts and not just saying we will change, and yet need people to remind all the time... (just too many people like this, a lot of exceuses that they can't do this and that because they have problems) Come on, everyone has his/her own problems, and yet we all have to take care of our own, and not adding up to others as burdens. No one wants to remind someone else all the time (I think I don't, I don't know who would like to be reminded that you have to change for a long time...)
It's the longest since I start writing, and just a thought when seeing so many people like this... hope is always with us...and I believe we all can be more considerate if we want to...

Some Math Cartoons
These will just happened in US as far as I know. It's very interesting that when I just got into US and found that students here really ae behind in Math and Science and yet they don't know so much about themselves.
Read an article about how behind the Math and Science of the 70s - 00s Generations. It's really sad to know that it is US herself causes the trouble - some so call Educators or Psychologists thought their theories would be working and did the experiments on the innocents. The results are -- High Self-Esteem with nothing in the brain (well, just exagerate, should be at least something...) not that high self-esteem is not good, but have to be humble too at the same time.
Self-center is another problem that hold this country back in the near future. Will discuss later after tomorrow, brain dead.

Tax Return and...
Finally complete filing my tax. Most people has money refund, but I have to pay (of course after deduction). This may be the last year that I do my tax filing, next year it will be more complicated. Two more to go (for friends), actually 4 to go...
It has been great for the early prayer meeting at CCHC. A great experience so far, a time to get closer to God, but somehow myself is easy to get distracted, and really still searching and learning. Being with the early morning group, it's been a blessing and this is actually a great start for the weekend! (Since my weekend is a busy one)
Last night, I was talking with a friend and all the sudden, I have a thought of providing free web classes for students from HS to colleges. However, it will not be an easy task since the course must be very friendly user and easy to understand. On top of that the students who have trouble MUST be willing to put extra miles if they are quite behind or quite weak on their foundations.
Agree with Bill Gates that the US education is way behind other countries in both Math and Science. We should do something, and yet the young generation (70s-00s born) must realize that they are (90% of this generation) behind too!
Face it or drop it!

Rats...
Rat!!! Wow! We see rat in house even in the morning. How dare IT! lolz... Got to get something ready to rescue our place from being populated by human enemy, rats/mouses ( I think the only mouse that loved by most people is Mickey!)
I think everyone in NYC may have the experience to see "giant size" rats in the subway station, of course they are not as big as a "giant" like the ancestor of the rats (sown in the newspaper before - as big as a human... err...), they are as least the size of a cat, really amazing! The New Yorkers feed tham well with all the trash we have on the rails. Sometimes, I even thought that when these rats have a fight with our city cats, they may win the fight.
It doesn't matter how hugh they are, it just our human responsibilities to make sure our places are clean. As long as we don't trash, we will not be their food suppliers.

Few thoughts
Met few students on the street and on the bus. Sometimes we just wonder how fast time passed by. It's just like yesterday and yet it has been 4-7 years since they were in my class. Nothing feel better than seeing your students are doing great in colleges even though there are so many challenges ahead of them.
Have been talking to teachers and parents and knowing that WE need to help on our Education Revolution: Not just about teaching kids to become better academically (yup! it's not a secret anymore), finally I meet someone who really has the heart in our younger generations (At least have been searching for years).
Life -- it's just so much to learn...

Do you smile today?
This remind me that when I was on the bus or train early in the morning (sometimes), many people just seem like having a bad start.
I just wish and pray for everyone that all of us just need to put up a smile on our faces a little... This will brighten up someone (u never know who's) day at least a little.

Selfish
We are human being, that's right! And we are all SELFISH! Well, may be not all mostly...and most of the time we are selfish. I have heard people said they want to help people and they are doing a lot of great things, but somehow always mention "I, I, I..." It's very obvious especially for the younger generations. Well, this happened to everyone, I suppose.
What is selfish? Definition varies, and it is always based on personal experiences. May be someone thinks that as long as he/she doesn't interfere with others, then he/she is not selfish... well, this may not be true. Someone may say he/she has no intention to create any problem when problem happened which may cause a lot of troubles... can we categorize this as one of the "unintentional" selfish?
People always give ourselves a lot of excuses even myself, trying to pursuade ourselves that we are doing good actually we are not, we are just thinking of ourselves anyway. It's something wrong to be selfish? Yes and No! Depends on how we look at the situatian, and it's always varies... I just wish that people or more thoughtful of others, then this world will be a better place to live on, and not just talkig about having a beter place without actual actions...

Forgetful...
Is it just me? Well, can't give myself any excuses for being so forgetful for my student's appointment. It's just my laziness to call yesterday to confirm.
It has been a great and mixed week so far. Wondering what should I do next sometimes even though I know God has His Plan. It is the human nature to wonder somehow.
Well, finally I can start working on the project the I have been long for. Now it's the time to get better plan...
