Recently , I was busy with learning dancing and playing football. In fact , I’ve never done that before, so at first , I didn’t believe I could make it . however, when in that situation, I had a urge to explore and extend my talents I had discovered in myself as I went along. So I tried my best to learn how to dance and how to play football. In the end , to my big surprise that I made it, I can dance well , and play football not bad. You would never know how happy I was.

From this experience , I learned that , in fact , all of us can do a lot of things , sometimes you just don’t find it and don’t believe that you can make it . However , as long as you dream dreams and are willing to pay efforts for them , I believe everyone can make it in the end ! Just give it a try, and keep going , you will find a lot of surprise in youself.

We live in a information explosion age . All kinds of information are around us.

With the development of internet ,it becomes easier and more convenient for us to search for some information. However, some information is not what we really want, and it may prevent us from getting the true one. Everyday , we get some junk e-mails which disturbes our normal life, that’s a really problem.

Since we can get a lot of information, some is helpful and useful while others is not so good, what should we do to pick up the right one?

In my opinion, first of all, it’a very important for us to know what we really want , and it helps us to pick up the right one from so much information. Second , you should distinguish which is true and which is not true, think about the original of the information, make a right option. Last but not the least important, you should organize the selective information in a proper way, make full use of it .

In a word , it’s not the information itself matters , what matters is that how we choose it and how we use it .

Today I choose

Life is like a box of choacklet , you won’t know what it is until you taste it . There are so many unexpection, maybe some are uncontrollable. However ,we can choose what to do at present time.

Yesterday has gone with the wind, and tomorrow is unknown, what we can do is to cherish today.

I choose to live in today, let bygones be bygones , I choose to live as if I would die tomorrow ,I choose to learn as if I would live forever. For happiness goes with  those who dream dreams and pay efforts to make them come true, I choose to live with my dreams and try my best to realize them. I choose  to stand up and keep going when I come across difficulties, I choose to live happily everyday.
