After coming to this world

After coming to this world, I know that there is a beauty called nature. We see the sun shining, we hear the birds singing, we watch the trees growing, and we feel the seasons changing. We will never know who indeed create this wonderful scenery; we only know that we must protect this beauty, to enjoy everything good of the nature.

After coming to this world, I know that there is an inspiration called art. We can go to Barcelona to enjoy the masterpieces that Picasso has given us; we can go to Amsterdam to feel the different colours of Van Gogh’s life; we can go to Vienna to enjoy the classical music cliques of Europe; we can go to Prague to hear the rhythm of Vltava River. We use art to satisfy our psychological and hearing purposes, we use art to get to know others’ feelings. Art is a miracle.

After coming to this world, I know that there is a sensation called adoration. Why we care so much for a person who has no relationship with us? Somebody says we are stupid enough. While we know having an idol in our heart is nothing wrong. Because we need someone to encourage our study and living, to let our inner world become more colourful. Maybe who we love is someone we can’t meet all our lives. But if they deserve to be loved, we can show our adoration, and we like this sensation.

After coming to this world, I know that there is a faith called never give-up. A football fan must remember this miracle night in Istanbul, 2005.When Liverpool football team was 3 nil down, who could tell they will revive? But they scored, and the second, and the third, they equalized, and they win the penalty shootout, finally got the Champions League Cup. This miracle happened, because they had their faith all the time. No matter what the score is like, they never give up.

After coming to this world, I know that there is a will called adamancy. We still have a strong memory of the earthquake happened in Sichuan Province last year. We experienced shock, we experienced sorrow, and we experienced touch. Everyone was eager to help, everyone had a will. We were facing the strongest task, but we weren’t scare of it. Chinese people never lack of adamancy. We can never be beaten.

After coming to this world, I know that there is a strength called love. Love is something without reasons. Love is a kind of strength. It gives us desire and confidence; it purifies our soul; it lightens our road; it lets us become emotional. Let the world filled with love, love is strong enough to help us overcome everything.

After coming to this world, I know what we are living for. We are living for these,these great things that the god has given us.

Love is a choice

As the Bible says Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Why does the Bible instruct us that love always protects, always trusts, always hopes and always preserves? Because god knows, we are the only one who own chances to choose to love.

What is love? As one of the most commonly asked questions around the world, it confuses many people, we spend countless hours wondering what love really is. In my opinion, love is a process when we are constantly making choices, and the choices we make are beneficial to our family and our community. Love is not simply an event that happens to us, but actually, we are all given circumstances to love, every day of our lives.

Love is something we choose to do. We thank god for giving us the power to make the choice to love. We choose to love the nature; we choose to love our countries; we choose to love our families; we choose to love our teachers; we choose to love our friends; and we choose to love ourselves. We choose to love everything good in the world. The more we choose to love, the more we will understand the meaning of love in all relationship, the better we will be able to sustain and improve in this society.

Sometimes the choices can be easy to make, when feelings and actions make love easily; sometimes the choices can be hard to make, when hurt and disappointment loom large. But the choices of love are always ours to make.

To choose to love, is the attitude, definition and belief that we use to determine our expectations and perspectives in life, and it’s also one of the basic principles of living.

I live in this loving world, and I choose to love it.
