Journal (3//15~3/20)

In this week, I saw a documentary which about birds called “The winds of the nature” in the general education course. The documentary mainly observed and recorded a variety of birds’ migration. The birds fly through the high mountains and great rivers even the scorching deserts. In this migration journey with difficulties and dander, the birds have to fly through thousands of miles. Why they are willing to put in much hard work but get very little results to experience the journey? The only one purpose is to “survival.”

The birds are the same as human beings, not only the birds; the whole world’s creatures are similar to us. In order to survival, the creatures have to hard work. Like as the migratory birds, they fly through the far distance to find the habitat. As human beings we also work hard to live. However, there is having many reports about the suicide, when people turn on the TV or open up the newspapers. The most of suicides all think that they do not have money; they could not live any more. Finally, they choose to end up their lives, instead of keeping their heads above water. As the saying goes “Heaven will always leave a door open.” The birds are so hard to live, human beings, however; look down on themselves lives. After seeing the documentary, I think human beings can learn the spirit of the birds. When we encounter difficulties and think we cannot hold on; we can think that even the birds are so hard to live. We will have more power to go on.


In this Saturday, my friends and I went shrimping. Because it was my first time to go shrimping, I felt excited and expected. As soon as arriving, we started shrimping. But, I think it was difficult to me. Owing to during the two hour of shrimping, I did not get any shrimps. I felt so depressed; my friends all got several ones. Finally, we shared shrimps together. But fortunately, other guests saw our shrimps were too less, they decided to share their shrimps to us. Although in the beginning I did not fish any shrimps, I felt glad in the end. Because I went out with my good friends, having the shrimps feast.
