The year when we are thirty years old means that we have stepped into an important and crucial stage of our life. So, it matters a lot whether we have a clear idea on what and who we will become before the age of thirty. Here are some reflections of my own I would like to share with you from my understanding of life.
1. We should learn to be silent, especially among these strangers or colleagues.
2. We should learn to be practical. For example, we'd better get out of our big dream to become a great man. This kind of dream will at least cause us the following two kinds of disadvantages: on one hand, it will make us distracted from doing these small things with our full heart; on the other hand, we will constantly encounter the disappointment from ourselves.
3. We"d better have a better understanding on the life we are living in. And it is not a kind of wisdom to be troubled and worried by what life has given us and will give us. For instance, there is no need for us to wonder about the question on what is the true meaning of life, or what do we live for in this world.
4. Whenever and wherever we answer a call, do remember to say the greetings first.
5. To wearing neatly can always leave good impression on others and it is the thing we should keep in mind all the time.
6. If we are not qualified enough to do something for our parents, then do make some promises to them. To most parents, they don't wish us to pay back to them for all they have done. What they need and makes them happy is just your promises. Sometimes just a phone call will make them satisfied and excited for a long time. So, do remember to buy our parents a cell phone and call them regularly, even if we are much busy with managing our new life.
7. To form the habit of obtaining the news at home or abroad via the various media every day is quite important. Those who care little about the world will not know how to care for themselves.
8. We should adapt ourselves to this competitive and changeable society. Whatever we may meet, we should learn to be calm and wise. For instance, the word loneliness is a word which should be erased from our vocabulary, for it is over the standard set for our emotional world.
