Journal #16: Confucius Quote

I do disagree with this theory. As you know, you can become whatever you want to be because right now there are many majors in university which are waiting for you to absorb the knowledge. Therefore, it exactly depends on how hard study you devote on it or not. It means a strong commitment and self-motivation lead to success.

“A strong commitment and self-motivation lead to success,” said Veasna.

You know there is nothing to be constant in this world. The technology evolution also advance forward gradually in the 21st century. Consequently, the people are also upgrading their wisdom, intelligence, education, and erudition in order to apply for the new change too. I think they are ready to accomplish whenever they want. Therefore, I need to change myself first in order to become what I want to be. First, I need to learn a new philosophy, and I must seek never ending improvement. Second, I learn from problem, and seek the past experience as a guide to reach my goal. Third, I continually do a commitment and train myself to suit what I want to be. As you see, everybody can reach your goal whenever they have a strong commitment to do it and have self-motivation. Right now we live in freedom and peaceful country, so we can do whatever we want. For example, we can study a major we really are keen on. I think if someone who is working in a job they really love, they absolutely have a strong self-motivation to accomplish a company’s goal with a great productivity easily. Moreover, they are not bored with what they do even it is a repeated performance. Therefore, the company can boost their productivity incredibly. Right now smart chief executives aren't looking for bachelor degree but they are also looking for a person who really loves the career too.

Journal #18: Reaction of Raven Rhyme

An isolated man feels mourning to his beloved girlfriend, called Lenore, who was vanished from this world forever. He almost falls asleep while he is thinking of his adored girl. However, there is a wind visitor to knock his door, and he also assumes his dearly loved woman arrives. Then he happily rushes to open the door, and there only is gloom outside his house. He also speaks with his soft voice with the word “Lenore,” but the sound coming back is “Lenore…Lenore..Leno..Le...” in repeat response of voice. After that he sadly returns to his board room, and he wants to snooze. At the moment there is another faucet on a window “window lattice.” He is off to open it as well, and he sees a raven that rests on the Pallas. The crow is inquired by the cheerless chap about his name, and he replied with the word “Nevermore.” Therefore, the miserable gentleman approves of his warmth greeting toward raven, and he also is terrified of his new companion to disappear tomorrow. Then the bird responds “Nevermore.” In this case the word “Nevermore” is so interesting to the single man stalwartly. Subsequently he grins due to the bird’s tongue. Because of the bird’s speech, the chair is dragged by the poor chap to sit in order to solicit the bird about his sweetheart’s fading away. Then the conversation is pioneered by the pitiable chap with several questions, such as “Is there the balm in Gilead?”and “ Leave my loneliness unbroken”. The bird retorted in the same answer “Nevermore.” Afterward the poor guy questions to the bird about his dearest girl. For example, is Lenore able to be discovered in paradise? The same response of “Nevermore” is appeared by the bird’s dialogue (para.16). At the end of this question, he apprehends it is worthless. In my opinion, the poor chap deems that the raven will be a new friend to help him to find his beloved lady who evaporates from this universe. In contrary, the bird also comes up with the same stupid reaction “Nevermore.” In this case, it denotes that his beloved Lenore quits to return to meet him anymore. Moreover, the bird takes wing on the floor and answers that “Shall be lifted-nevermore!” It implies that the bird wants to convey the man’s sadness away through his fly into the sky. Therefore, the bird wants to courage the man to become fearless, and stands up to live on earth.
