Being More Critical

I wanna be more and more and better in criticizing... I got shocked when I was kinda left behind in the class in critical thinking on fiction, I just don't get it why I had to do literature, but know I got a reason. Though, it's required to do literature course to fulfill ma requirement in order to grad, but I don't hesitate to keep trying ma best in that class which I just fell in love... why? Coz I know I never grow up in an American environment, so I should grab this opportunity to be one. I need to work harder with my language, nonetheless.

Now I know and realize that how different Americans think compared to Asian way of thinking, this really reminds me of what I had learned from a friend of mine telling me that Asians and Westerners have different mindsets. At first I wonder how different they are? Even, I was stamped to have a different mindset which is not like Asians... I a little bit disagree but yes it's the truth that I'm working on wearing a Western head, to think like a Westerner in criticizing things and stuffs. Why they got amazed by arts? Why they are so much into music? Why they are so individualistic? Why they are keep themselves (here I'm referring to most Americans I'd met) well-planned with activities and stuffs to be done, today tomorrow and later? Yes, they plan their lives much more better so to avoid the boredom of doing nothing.

The rythm of life is different because the culture and environment provide the background of a better way of life. If I were given to choose whether to live in UK or in US, I would definitely choose US because here I feel the best way to live in today's world. To live in a developed country like America is preparing ourselves to better off from time to time. But, because of yesterday's shock, I need to work on more in transforming my way of thinking to be far more further than me myself of yesterday and the past. I wanna be a new I, and I that has a characteristic of being acumen and positive, so to be a better person than others.... I wanna let myself walking ahead faster than everybody else, coz why? Coz to me, life is too short!!
