| The worst shooting in US military happened... Sadly, how could one mad man took so many lives who were innocent without mercy?! This is horrible! I hope the murderer will get his serious punishment and judgement as soon as possible. You just can't do that simply because of your momentary personal emotion! We all have to beware of overwhelming emotions. Life is valuable. We all want others to respect our lives. But we gotta repspect other's lives first. I wish the victims be rest in peace and their families be comforted. | | |
| I've faced 'defeats' throughout many parts of my life. And from what I see about myself so far, I maybe walking towards another one, two weeks from now, unfortunately. People around me are nice, trusting my ability and I admire them. However, the predominating voices of 'assuming' I will be pass the exams without any problem, and without a reason and understanding of what I'm really doing now..., somehow seem like 'devil' for me~ I gotta be tough. I know why I could write fine research papers before--- it was the desperate heart to present my personal ideas in arts that got me there. Of course, I gotta be studying and be systematic right now--- exams are not the same as papers. Well, in the current condition, let me prepare for the worst. However, I haven't not given up the idea of ---trying my best! ------------- A real 'hero' won't count on mistakes, but he/she cares about correcting them. If I go in to the exam room and feel worried about giving the wrong answers, writing things in the wrong directions, getting enough words, spending each of the four 3-hour session wisely, worrying about whether I will pass or not, etc...there's no way I can focus and really present what I already know, what I'm remembering now, and what I'll be inspired to write at that moment! I gotta live it this way. Do it and be tough. I'm idealistic in many ways...but right now such thinking is making my mind as static as still water. No matter it's productive or not, in these 13-14 days I just have to teach myself, be friend with the knowledge, get into the system. My wish is I can study with my heart, read with my mind, listen to music and things from teachers in a lively manner, look at scores and all kinds of notations with patience, write with ease, think with both urgency and flexibility!!! While I don't have a counselor, maybe it's not a bad ideas to encourage myself...well, or at one point I can connect with the One (maybe God) who ultimately knows what I'm doing in my personal struggle. | | |
| Be a scholar, be a theorist, be a musicologist...and, be a musician! My preparation for prelims so far is full of little thoughts here and there, but not making huge impact through concentration~ I gotta make it happen, no matter what. | | |
| It's not because of my talents that get me here...I notice it's the faith that I believe, whether it's religious or not is another thing. Therefore I should keep trying hard to prepare for prelims while not forgeting it's my heart and sense of purpose that really matter! | | |
| A perfect match between heart and behaviour is what I need right now. Do everything with the right purpose, at the same time put ideals into practice through action. It's a time of difficulty. It's a time of challenge. Yet in fact, it's my opportunity. November is not a month of horror. Perhaps it's a month of hard work, but it's the right moment for me to organize what I have learnt before. Now, in a few days before November, let me get some good work done! | | |
