Merida, the Model-Girl!

Responsibility, Relationship, Happiness: Merida

                                                          <Movie 'Brave' Trailer>

  Did you ever saw the movie 'Brave' or 'Merida and the magical forest'? The movie was about Merida, Scottish prince who likes to ride horse and shoot arrow rather than being a princess. She wants to change her fate, and make her mom a bear. In the adventure of trying to make her mom back to human, she realizes that she must change first. I think the movie tell us about responsibilities, relationship, and happiness.

  First, it tell us responsibilities. In the movie, queen tries to make Merida as a good princess, and Merida tries to make her more free. So, unfortunately, they fight, and princess tries to change her fate by changing her mom. But a magic changed the queen to a bear!  tells us to make other people know and make do somethings that they should do, in the adventure of trying to make her mom back to human, she realizes that she must change first, as I said before. I think this means that to make other follow their responsibility, YOU have to follow responsibility, and change first. In my dormitory, their was a fight and they tried to no listen to each other, but they solved the problem by changing themselves.

  Also, I think the movie tell us about relationships. The adventure was made by a bad relationship. And, the bad relationship was made by not LISTENing to each other. They just argued each other. So, I think listening to each other will lead to good relationships. If people don't listen to each other, they can't understand the others' opinions! Also, in the adventure, Merida helped the bear, or her mom by giving fishes and such things, and mom, or the bear, helped Merida in strength and speed. Like this, I think that helping each other what they can't do well will lead to good relationship.

  Lastly, this tell us happiness. In the adventure, Merida and the queen became free, they played, and they did what they want. As a result, they became happy! I think happiness comes when he or she does what they want. In my case, when I play or study something interesting, I'm happy. It's because I like those things.

  To sum up, I think that this movie tell us responsibilities, relationship, and happiness. The movie was fun, but I think that the meaning of the movie was more interesting and impressive.

Adults=Children

  Today, I will write a response essay to Adora Svitak's TED video.(Click for link)

  In this video, Adora Svitak is saying that adults can learn from children. She disagrees about saying that children are childish, putting restriction to children, and underestimating children's abilities. I totally agree to her arguments. Because children do have good abilities, children should not be oppressed and discriminated. Children will make the world better.
  The first thing that I agree with her is that children do have good abilities. Children can lack power, but this is becoming a wrong story. Nowadays some children are even stronger than their parents in real power! Some children can win arm wrestling with their parents. Also, children have a lot of creativity, which adults lack. Like Adora's experience with Takoma Glass Museum, children have creativity. In my case, children think of more brilliant thoughts while playing, doing conference, and so on. They make new words and new games they can play!
  Another thing I agree with her is that children should not be oppressed and discriminated. Children get oppressed by rules AND laws, but adults just get oppressed by laws. For example, children are told not to run, but adults run a lot! Although adults can get some oppression by rules, children have more restrictions. Adults say that it is because children are childish and too dangerous. However, like in Adora's presentation, age doesn't matter. The thought of a person matters. So, it's not a good way to discriminate especially children. Adults are human, and so are children!
  The last thing I agree with her is that children will make the world better. The world is going to be better and better. To be specific, children have expectations for a better life, so they will try to do it. Also, they have creativity and no limitations, so when adults don't oppress children's abilities, children will do a great job in making a better world.
  For these reasons, I agree with Adora Svitak's argument, which is, 'adults can learn from children.' Adults and children do good things in different ways, so if children learn from adults and adults learn from children, wouldn't the world become better for now, and more better for the future?

The '30-day challenge'

Hello? From tomorrow, I will start a '30-day challenge.'(2013/1/6~2/4) The 30 day challenge is adding or subtracting habits for 30 days! The goal is to have sustainable habits. According to Matt Cutts, who thought of this challenge and did it, says that it will be a memorable time. How about you trying it? Well, there are three habits I want to add, and there's three steps each.

  My first habit to add is taking stairs at dormitory and house. The first step is making a notebook where I can note when did I took stair. Then, for the first week,1/6~1/12) take stairs when you have to go up or down one to five floors. The last step is doing the goal, which is taking stairs in dormitory and house, and give 1 point per a floor you went down taking stairs, 2 points per a floor you went up taking stairs, and subtract 5 points per a floor when you took elevator. According to Mr. Tweedie, who is a teacher is KMLA, noting and giving point is a good way to motivate. 

  My second habit I want to add is cleaning up my room every time I can. The first step is making a notebook where I can check when and what did I cleaned. Then, I will clean up trashes, clothes, etc. when I can. Lastly, I will check and note and report it to my mom. This will be motivative because I will not try to lie to my mother.
  My last habit to add is writing a novel about approximately 9000 words. At the first day, I will think what should I write. Then, I will write a plan to write a novel, such as genres and things. Lastly, I will act as the plan, and will not sleep if I didn't did it.
  The 30-day challenge will be meaningful and give me sustainable habits and memorable times. I will try, at least, to achieve it.
