Diary: Learning Process

All of a sudden, I thought about my past. When I came to United States, I was an innocent boy. I was shy and dumb. At that time, I did not speak English well and I knew nothing about the world nor anybody. It took me a year before I could hear people's talks in church on Sunday (You can tell how bad my English was). Now I look at myself. I did learn a lot. My english is improved (I guess!) . I have my degrees and many friends around me. I also learnt surfing, spear fishing, photography, tube audio, auto, lots of theories (good and bad), and confidence......... How did I do it? I don't really know but I guess it is because I am persistent and I am always patient and have positive attitude on life. I don't want to just live a life here in the world. I want an exciting life. I want it to be very colorful, fun, and memoriable. I remembered the time that I self taught myself spear fishing. Back then, everyone thought I was crazy and insane going into the dark ocean at night in Hawaii with just a mask, a tube, wet suit, fins, and a flash light. However, after so many days, I did get my reward ~ arm size of fish or lobsters or octopus daily. No matter how bad the weather was. I still went into the water because I made a goal to do it daily. What was the moral of the story? Never give up. Did I get scared to fail sometimes? I can say I don't fail unless I give up. Does it mean I have a very good life? I can say my life is tough. I almost suisided last year. Last night, After I talked with Kumi and David, I found out I am really have strong faith. I hope I can always be like this making right choices and influrence all my friends positively in my life.
