酷我-北美枫

[anna]

As I said before, the reason I wanted to join Jerry’s classes was to improve my verbal English. But from his first class, I knew what I could learn was far more than that. From his stories, I could see how strong his will was. But even strong persons still need motivation from others. Listening to his speeches, I am sure many students were encouraged. Lately I read Lang Lang’s book Lang Lang: Playing with Flying Keys, the same impression came to me. The road to Rome really depends on one’s persistent effort. Most of us lack the will to continue our dreams, thus most of us fail.

Yes, indeed the road to Rome is very difficult. The reality can easily shatter our beautiful dreams. Sometimes we do doubt the reason to pursue a long unpredictable journey when we could retreat ourselves to a normal and relax life. Many times I ask myself to be like others, and just relaxed. Many times, I still cannot give up. I don’t know why. I sense that that is my hope. That is the freedom beyond life. But what do I want to prove? What do I want exactly?
I never ask for too much from life, indeed it is generous to me. But still I feel empty.
Last week, I went to check my lottery ticket. A lady joked with me, "Good luck." I smiled yet thought if I really had luck, then the dream I hold now would be given up. It gave me an ironic shock. It seemed my dream was never larger than a lottery jackpot. Indeed, I was like others. So I told the lady that maybe without luck I was blissful. She didn’t understand. I didn't say any more. But I was glad that maybe my destiny was to continue my dream.
Life cannot be meaningful without purpose and dreams.

I watched the video "The life and time of Frida kahlo". I was impressed.

During her life, she loved Diego so much and it was sad that only after her death, Diego knew how powerful her love was.

Frida's paintings are stunning. Before I could not understand. Now I know why she painted in that way.

Art, poetry, music are the treasure for our life. Most of us have not found our passion. Those who found were lucky.
