what is dignity?


Dignity is the self confidence within oneself and the believe that one’s worth to the world. Dignity is the pride that one is doing something that is benefiting others or belief that they have achieved something very significant. Dignity is the thought that one is part of something bigger than others. Dignity is the belief that one is on par or higher level than others. Most people today have dignity and will not do demeaning things for others like what slaves used to do. Dignity is the will to not bend down to others or accept defeat. Many samurais during the japan feudalism age conduct ritual suicide when they are defeated. This shows their dignity and their unwillingness to submit to other people. People like Hitler also suicide rather than get captured he kept his own dignity but is still a very horrible person. The tank guy in tainiam square stood in front of a tank even though the tank can run over him very easily, this shows the stubbornness and unwillingness to bend down to the communist Chinese. Oda Nobunaga also conducted suicide when his palace is surrounded by enemy general. All these fellow people show dignity and their pride.

happiness is


Happiness is the lack of greed. Greed is the cause of pain and suffering, when people cannot achieve what they desired to get, they become depressed and unhappy. Happiness is that one instant when people got what they wanted, just right before they started to desire something else The theory that life is formed with sadness and happiness intertwined is very true. Our life will be a endless cycle of achieving our goal or failing to do so. The setting for a new goal and being miserable through its duration will directly follow it.
So the equation is basically sad+desiresàhappy+ achieved goalàsad +desires. I have been thinking about this recently and this is what I have come up with and almost fits every situation possible. I am happy today because I got a good grade, for example. It is consisted of a goal being achieved and studying hard for it. 

Movie VS Book the Time Machiene

the movie of the time machine(2002) and the book itself is very similar in terms of the general idea and characters. the different versions also contains the divided human species. the movie however, changes the character motivation of the plot completely. the time traveler in the movie goes to the future to determine why he cannot change the past, while in the book the time traveler went into the future to simply explore the future. the eloi in the movie are not as graceful and childlike s described in the book. the movie also added a single villian in the movie, while the book does not. in the end, the time traveler stayed in the future in the movie, while in the book, he goes back and explore, then disappeared. A funny point about the movie si that the book is actually mentioned in the story,and the general plot which is lated conducted. i do not know if that was a mistake since it left us confused.

what is a teacher

Allot of people influenced me in my life my family members; teachers at school, and my violin teacher all do so. They all have common traits; they try to push me as much as possible. My violin teacher is kind of an interesting figure because he tends to care more about my practicing violin. He also cares about y grades and my afterschool activities. He will sometimes give me advice regarding what activities to pursue and also what will be beneficial to knowledge. My family just tries its best to find things to criticize me about, and by doing that, makes me very annoyed and have to improve.
The teachers at my school helps me a lot as well, most of them are willing to help me after school of things that I do not understand. They are very eager to correct my mistakes and emphasize what I would have to improve.

what will you do to be popular

I do not think I would give up anything to be popular, they either accept me as what i am or dont. I will not go around flattering a jerk just to be popular, all i want is a decent friend who will not betray me at any chance, and remember who they used to be if they get popular
