My belief One man in his whole life will meet countless challenges, and all of these challenges could give the man his own experiences and these experiences or feelings will build the own belief of this person. For me, I believe that to be optimistic is the key to having a better life. I will use my own stories to show you how this become my own belief. This story is about the TOEFL test. You know it’s one of the best and biggest language exam in the whole world. So in China if you want to go abroad, especially America, and get better education, you will need to take this exam. In this case, I started to study the TOEFL when I was in high school. At first I thought it would be very easy since my English grades are always good in school. However I found that I was wrong in a complete mess. Because we just need to recite words, sentences and grammar like a machine and do not have to care a little about how to speaking, listening or how to communicate.

I know this is weird, but there are too many things that related of this, you could not believe how much stress I have. Leaving high school, that is kind of unimaginable in China, especially in a normal city where I lived. If I failed the TOEFL and could not go to America, I have to back the high school 3rd year again if I still want to go to university. My whole life will get influences.…

I believe in leadership by in leadership by creating a positive and supportive work environment. Leading by example is the first step in creating this space. The best way to portray the ideal work environment and the behavior expected of a team is by exemplification.

By putting myself alongside my team, I believe I…

A true friend accepts who you are but also helps you become who you are supposed to be. The definition of a true friend has changed over time. “The Japanese have a term, Kenzoku, which translated means “family”.

It implies the presence of the deepest connection of friendship, of lives lived as comrades from the distant past.” (Lickerman, Alex. “The True Meaning of Friendship.” Psychology…

Comparing Antifone to Me ¨I was born to join in love, not hate - that is my nature.¨ Sophocles. When you get the chance to help someone do not take a second to think, just immediately do it. When and if you think for a second you will think how others may judge you for doing this. You may be shunned at first, but soon they will clearly see what you did and understand that it was more important than following everyone else. Many people may never fully understand why you did the thing you did,…

I was lucky enough to have food bank experiences, I went home Sunday and my mother cooked so I had leftovers form that and I can go to…

Isolation is a powerful force. To be separated from humanity can disorient and debilitate oneself, unless they have hope.

The isolation he faces changes his moral beliefs and attitude, ultimately giving him the willpower and hope to stay alive long…
