Ways of seeing are ways of thinking

Last week, we have done a listening exercise WAYS OF SEEING on the class. To me it was very difficult to understand. And to be honest, I did not think highly of it at first. Because the vocabulary is hard comprehend and clearly the video had been produced for several years. But three minutes later, it caught my eyes and mind. As he said that A lot of parts of seeing depends on not only natural but also habit, society, tradition and so on. It is completely correct! Like old Chinese saying, ‘one thousand people read the RED TOWER, it must have one thousand Lingdaiyu.’ (RED TOWER is the greatest litersry works in China and Lingdaiyu is the leading character ) For the reason that everything or everybody we see it thought our own ways. Let me give a simple example, an red apple, peasant see what is the breed, retailer see how much profit after sell it, painter see the colour and shape, and I ,I just see the thing that I can eat it. Therefore the ways of seeing indeed are the ways of thinking.

This video is finial part of a program which had produced in 70’. The main idea in this part is to what extent the publicity influent our live. In our daily live, we are surrounding by publicity. It seems they have a large number of contents and forms, but practical it just send one information —— consume. It also seems our live quality depends on buying something. We could transform richer, eleganter, smarter if we buy the product which they recommend. We have no reason to refuse the commodity because we all want to be enviable and glamour. While we could never achieve this level, so we need the assistance of publicity from beginning to end.

Publicity is also special overwhelming that we never think about query it. Like the politician, publicity do not respect for factual accuracy. And the difference is publicity never be condemned —— they are natural liar. We could not query publicity for the reason that they have substituted our mind. Thus we were to be deprived the right of distrust.

Seeing is continue, and, we have no choice!

Dragon’s Den
Finally, the presentation of Dragon’s Den has been finished.
We are not very accustomed to teamwork, so from the beginning we spent a lot of time in determined the product. After changed several times, and then adopted a product we all recognized. To me, of course this was not the first time to get a compromise, but definitely the most peaceful one.
RULE 1: compromise is necessary
Then, because we did not know the capacity of partners, I had done the part of them such as design of box and logo. For the reason that delegate, they answered for the inside of the box. Maybe it was because of the obstacles to the exchange , after several time we still lost something.
RULE2: mutual understanding + thorough communication = trust
After that, because of some of members was absence sometime, until morning the whole project had just merged.
RULE3: sometime, we must be forced to stay together
During the presentation, to my surprised, I was very nervous too. Prior to this time I had done presentation in Shanghai, certainly in Chinese. I am reluctant to speak English, it makes me change another one who is stupid and boring. But we could not using Chinese, so as soon as I opened my mouth I lost control of all the thing. All the words in the mind were the simplest and I forgot too much.
RULE4: write key words on the paper is necessary.
At last, I found a interesting thing . For my personally, PINK is the most complete and mature plan. They failed for the product is not interesting enough. How close with play! If the story is not brilliant enough, the form cannot catch people’s eyes.
RULE5: product must be fun
The first presentation was finished. Although there were many problems, still found it very interesting. I hope the next time may not be so much regret.

Sorry, you are alone

I feel blue these days for MJ’s death. Although I’m not his fans, I have reviewed most of his MVs and concerts. Then I recognized that he is indeed a superstar. Firstly, I thought his death was a pity, and then I was aware that he real has a great heart. But now, he is authentic a poor guy!
No matter how splendid his singing and dancing; no matter how much the fans he has; no matter how high level of his artistic achievement··· He is always a poor wretch.
For the reach that spent the whole life he did not find such a girl, who will not look him with eyes, who comprehend him so deeply, who can hold his hands the whole life!
If he had a soul mate just looks him with heart, he would not do so many stupid things. If he had a companion who believes him wholeheartedly, he might not devastate by the charge. If ···These are all assumptions, and all the circs had finished, while the VIP—very important princess is never appearance.
God consider too much! Even if human being has always said the same language, the tower of Babel will fall. Just as Jean-Paul Sartre said :”Hell is the others.”

interseting study

When I was a child, I like drama very much. So I chose the major of director in the college. Because the director is an integrated arts, who has to be well aware of every part of drama. We had learned a lot of courses, such as: directing, acting, script writting, stagecrafe, music, stage illumination lamp, Make-up, etc. All of these, my favorite course is acting.
Mostly, life was concentrated by drama, therefore only the most exciting and the most dramatic footage of life can be showed on the stage. And all the emotional experience on the arena is very extreme. So the actors could enjoy themselves to the full. Then under the stage, in the real life, ordinary people could not so rich life experience and so extreme emotional experience.
During the four years, I had played a lot of people with different occupation: student, scientiste, courtesans, cafe owner, and they had have all sorts of character. I think it was very interesting and I missed the past four years very much.

The tower of BABEL

I have heard about a story in bible——the tower of Babel. The magnificently tall building was deemed offensive and impertinent by God. To punish human for their hubris, God then decided to drive a linguistic wedge between the nations of the world. Thus so many different languages were produced.

I have never thought that language is important before I arrived here. It is unimportant if I can speak English during my formerly career. For the reason that most of assistant can using English very well. Therefore I always think that English is just a tool. And now, I know I was wrong. In these days, it is frustrated me when I cannot explain myself precisely. I had a lot of feelings, ideas, and advice, but translate to words less 80%.

Have to admit that language is a very important issue.

habit

It is very hard to modify a behavior. In China , usually I start my written work in the evening .I don’t know the reason just only in night I can hight-speed operation of my mind . In sunlight, I am always semi-conscious. But in here ,it becomes a big problem for the sun sets too late , And I work not long ,the sun rise up again . I am worry I may go mad.

Maybe I have to modify the behavior right now.

summary

The Newcastle University team spent three years monitoring the progress of 2000 teenagers in 17 schools in the north of England, and they came to these conclusions.
