#2 Am I a good reader and a good writer? or not?

When I was just a kid I usually read some comics, magazines and journals. I collect some of those and put it in a small cabinet inside our room. Every time, when I don’t have things to do I get it all out of the cabinet and read some of those. That is one of my hobbies when I get bored. In this time, when I get older, reading is not my hobby anymore. Reading now for me is kind a “boring”. Keeping journals, magazines and comics are gone in my mind because computer is now there.

 Can I consider myself as a good reader?  For me, yes I can read but I think that I am not that totally a good reader because sometimes, I cannot understand what I am reading. I will read the magazine or journal as many times before I can understand it.

Can I consider myself as a good writer? For me, I cannot consider myself as a good writer. Honestly, I don’t like writing at all since when I was just a kid.

Before, when I start composing, there are a lot of ideas that will come out of my mind and because of that I get confused and I don’t know what I will write. I will be annoyed and start to hate it. And that are the reason why I hate writing.

I usually ask myself why is that I don’t have talent in writing especially in composing like poem and stories? But I realize that it is not necessary that you should be given a talent so that you can be a good writer. You should the one who will find ways that you will be a good writer like practicing. You can train your own self by practicing in making some poems or stories. And in that way you can improve or develop your own writing process and in composing but not only that you can also create thinking skills because in writing your mind is working. It also can broad your knowledge.

#1 My Mission in Life

Every one of us has his own desire. We have a lot of ambitions and dreams in life. A man should be able to strike balance in life because there are so many people who found themselves loss in the wilderness. In the end, they will just feel dissatisfaction of what they have done. That is an example of a person who doesn’t have a mission in life or a person that has a mission in life but incapable to plan accordingly.

One of the most inspiring stories I've read is “The Parable of the Eagle” because I can really relate myself in this story. It encourages me to soar high like an eagle and also it reminds me that we should not give up to the trials that we will encounter. It is a about a journey of one’s mission in life. Just like the eagle, we also have missions and we are determined to make it. Also, this story really makes me sense and open my mind of the real world that there’s always like a "hunter" and a "naturalist" in our own life. 

My purpose through each day of my life is to have an expression of commitment to love my family and friends. I believe all human beings have their own missions in life. As what I discovered we can guess our own missions in life by observing our personal gifts and talents. Every single person in the world has some particular talent. I met a lot of persons in our school and I have never met even one without talent. Usually when I get to know people more closely, I find that they have even more gifts than I thought. We definitely have different gifts and different missions for life. My mission in life is quite simple and straightforward. My mission is to fully utilize my skills, talents and abilities. I will make efforts to farther my knowledge everyday through taking classes and by learning. I will set myself to improve my inferior qualities such as responsibility and compassion so that I can be a better sister to my siblings, daughter to my parents, student to my professors and a nice friend. I will develop my spiritual, physical and emotional strength. Also, one of my missions is to finish my studies so that I can help my parents even in financial. If I will be able to finish my studies, I can find a good job in the future and someday, if I will have my own family I can be able to give them a better life. And Lastly, I will desire success for others.

Your "mission" is your vision plus your action. It is your quest, your dream, your passion, what your life is about. It is so big, so important, that your, mission may never be completed in your lifetime. And it includes the "how"--- your action, what you do. We should not waste our time to those things that can distract and ruin our future. We should be ready in facing trials because it boost or mould us to be a responsible person base in the experience. We should set our own mission in life because as what Doyle Brunson said “A man with money is no match against a man on a mission”.
