Journal #17 confucius quote

"Find a job that you love doing and you will never have to work a day in your life"
(Confucius)

This quote mean that if you could find something you love to do, even though you have to do it everyday you wouldn't feel tedious. I agree with this quote but it seems that not many people can do it even me. It is hard to know what kind of job that you love doing. You have to experience many different jobs until you find your favorite job. In reality, maybe what you love to do is not a practical job which can not afford your daily expense. because of that reason, I would rather love what I am doing than doing what I love. I find it will be more reasonable and flexible for me. Of course,I won't fore myself to love what I hate. I will try to find a happy middle between "Love what I do" and "Do what I Love". Fortunately, I am applying that theory in my life now. I realize that life cannot always as we expect so some time we should satisfied with what we have.

Mom Dad, what if I tell you that I wanna buy a car?

Dear Mon and Dad,
How are you these days? I do miss you guys a lot hic hic
I am doing well here. As you know that Tony, Becky and me are going to move to a new house which is very far from my school. Therefore, It will take me a long time to take a bus to go to school. I think this is the suitable time to buy a car here. while driving car just only takes me 30 minutes from our new house to school, taking a bus might take me more than 2 hours. It means that I have to wake up at 5 in order to go to school on time at 8 and cannot came back home until around 7 pm. Everyday, I have to spend more than 2 hours on transportation, I won't have enough time to focus on my study :(Although taking a bus is free it takes too much time, mom dad.
Moreover, there are some days I have to stay at library a little bit late to do my research. at that time, waiting the bus alone at the bus stop in the evening is a little bit dangerous so that having a car is more safety than.
May be you think that I am a new driver and driving a car might dangerous for me. I know what you are worry about but I got my driver license 3 months ago. I practice my driving skill every weekend. Even Tony, you know, who is a extremely careful person also agree that I am a careful driver.
I hope that you will be agree with me on this issue and allow me to buy a car because it will be more convince for my study and my life here.
love you!!!
Rachel ^^
