I suggest , in this paster( just this one), let's talk in English ,don't tall Chinese. Well, maybe that's a little bit unfair, but I think, not all the people in here are good in English , some of us are still suck. So, we gotta practice and pratice. Well you may care about the gramma or the spelling, here is what my English and my French teacher said to me, "you don't need to care about gramma, you just practice, practice practice. Language is like music, the more you practice, the more you improve. Do you care about the gramma when you're a baby and you were learning how to talk?"

So, forget about the gramma, just talk whatever you want. And we also could share our school lives here, or you would write your diary here(just like me), you could complain here, and it's cool to keep writing something in English, that actually could improve your writing a lot.

人的价值不在于身份也不在于财富, 而在于那个人心灵的美丽与高尚; 望你能与受伤的人一起流泪, 成为悲伤的人心灵的支柱.

可口可乐, 你神了厂(腹拜ing..........)

Is this topic being revived? I haven't seen this for half a year now.

Anyway; for all purposes life goes well. College is busy, tough, loaded with endless work, but nonetheless enjoyable: there are just so many things one can do here.

So here's some updates:
Concerning the Way:

(obviously nothing can be said about it, or else it won't be eternal)

Concerning the Mean:
To balance between despair and hope is indeed tough; there's still too much attachment to the illusions. Indeed, when facing quite endless amount of work it's easier to confront excess with another form of excess, in the form of indulging ephemeral pleasure (playing mafia all night, then eat breakfast at 9:00 AM before going to sleep), rather than engaging in activity that cultivates the higher part of the soul.

Concerning Happiness:
"Happiness", as Aristotle says, ought to be an end onto itself and a continual process rather than an instantaneous moment of pleasure. Therefore, for all intents and purposes, I wouldn't be considered happy 'til the moment of death. However, I surely feel content--quite fulfilled--here: I'm learning things, making new friends, and attending different activities. If my life were to end now, I'd be glad to say that despite all the mishaps and the sufferings, life is happy.

what can you do with a economics degree?

Apparently a good deal of students here graduate with that particular thing and become a drone to the system: they join the i-banking or consulting club, work 16 hours a day, make 1-3 million USD in 8 years or so... but, by the end of the 8-10 years, they are completely drained...

How is college for everybody?? It's so much funs and pains for me. I love it and hate it at the same time. Everyday is new and rich, never feel boring, though I was dying with my tests, and papers.

Concerning economics, I don't find it "not interesting". In fact, I like what it so far, from the material I've already learned (AP Macro& Microeconomics).

I still like history the best, especially European history from antiquity to 1918. But I am afriad I cannot concentrate just in history, for it really does not provide that many career opportunities without the worries of financial security... I think I haven't lose my reason yet, or perhaps it's only my ignorance, that led me to the "practical" path. I hope that whatever I will do under the name of pragmatism will not devoid the values behind learning...

Actually, I am not yet a college student, at least, for another 3 months or so. However, upon entering college, I am thinking about concentrating, or majoring in Economics, perhaps in a joint program with either History or Government.

And.. yes... it's quite rare that you will hear such optimistic remarks from me...


Really? I don't know that. In fact, I like your motto too...
About the major, I am majoring in international economics and trade, and I think it is a good choice to study economics, and you will not regret it even if you find it's not so interesting...+_=
