Ways of thinking in other aspects.
It is always hard to find something to enrich my blog, in other words, at least to make it look more vivid. I happened to find a blog yesterday which revolves around life as a wife that serves a traditional Japanese family. Honestly spekaing, I really love the way Japanese people live and the way they think. Through learning a bit Japanese on my own, I was enabled to think of things in a seemingly Japanese way which refers to the system of the linguistic classifications, agglutinative language, which literally means, sticky language. I think Japnese people have great propensity on acting inwardly rather than to make their thoughts manifested. Like they tend to decline an invitation in an indirect way, or they tend to conceal their desires to do something no matter how much they want to do it, though the example listed does not show a comprehensive inclination that represents all the Japanese people. Also, we are able to find some clues when we analyze the vicissitudes of the verbs in Japanese. To eat, 食べる, to eat, which shows only basic information or a movement; 食べたい, eat not, that is close to British English while using a negative to make a denial; 食べられる, not to be eaten, the variety shows the difference between English and Japanese, in Enlgish, we make a statement of what we are about to do, so the main point or idea should be or needs to be put in the beginning of a sentence or phrase. However, in Japanese, all varieties and changes appear or stick right after the base of a word-inwardness; 食べたがってる, very much different from English or Chinese even that we describe a third person showing his desire to do something, we use a different auxilary subverb to consummate a phrase or sentence. All the grammar above allows me to approach to the core of ways to think of things as Japanese people do.

For many years, I've tried really hard to find what does interest me, and enormously enough to make me keep working on it. I failed to do that once, 7 years for doing things I don't really like. Shame on me, life is hard, yet we always manage to see many examples who led their life eventually to a spendid success. At this very point, I can't but wondering what was it that I did wrong in choosing something to do, or it was a merely a latent laziness that dwindled my passion and retards my schedule? Recently, I have been so bereft in great dilema of my hope to study medicine, partially because of some possible impending tuitions which I cannot afford yet, partially because I have made some assessment on my weakness and strength if I would succeed in handling that.Regardless of status, prestige or a good quality of life necessities even, I guess it is time to make a final decision at all. to be continued
