For a sunshine day.... I wonder what my purpose is in my life. After graduating, I found a good job as I loved and had much time to travel with my friends. But sometimes, I sit alone at the corner at a coffee shop, look at people in the street and wonder what my mainly purpose is. One day, I saw a sence in the street that I would have never forgotten: there was an old woman taking a pocket to beg for money in the street. Many people gave her money but others did not. Poor her! Suddently, I thought of my grandmother so much. The beggar seemed to be the same age wih my grandmother. I wondered where the beggar's family is and why they let her alone to make living in the street like this. She was a such miserable woman that I couldn't stop thinking about her future: what she had for dinner, where she slept at night (maybe in somewhere in the street :( ) and tomorrow, what she would do to make living. Maybe I am so sensitive, but I haven't stopped thinking about that scene from this day until now. I am sure that there are so many miserable people like her in everywhere, even more miserable than her. What can we do to cancel the scenes like that from our life? Now, I know I will work hard for the better life for my family and try to have time for my family more than I used to. My family is the most important thing in my life. I love them so much from the bottom of my heart. I wish everybody in the world always loves their family and have much time for them. You know, nothing in the world can stop they loving you and making you happy. So, don't make your family sad about you. P/S: I appreciate your attention to my notebook entry and have time to correct it for me. Have a nice day everybody.

For a sunny day....

I wonder what is my purpose in life. After graduating, I found a good job that I loved, and had much time to travel with my friends. But sometimes, I sit alone at the corner of a coffee shop, look at people in the street and wonder what my main purpose is.

One day, I saw a scene in the street that I would never forget: there was an old woman carrying a bucket to beg for money (you can leave this out if you want) in the street. Many people gave her money but others did not. Poor her! Suddenly, I thought of my grandmother so much (or 'she reminded me a lot of my grandmother'). The beggar seemed to be the same age as my grandmother. I wondered where the beggar's family was and why they would let her alone to make a living in the street like this. She was a such miserable woman that I couldn't stop thinking about her future: what she had for dinner, where she slept at night (maybe in somewhere in the street :( ) and the day after ('tomorrow' doesn't work because you're referring to a past event) what she would do to make a living.

Maybe I am too sensitive, but I haven't stopped thinking about that scene from that day until now (or 'from that day on'). I am sure that there are so many miserable people like her in everywhere, even more miserable than her. What can we do to erase scenes like that from our lives?

Now, I know I will work hard for a better life for my family and try to have more time for them than I used to. My family is the most important thing in my life. I love them so much from the bottom of my heart.

I wish everybody in the world would always love their family and have much (I think 'enough' is a good alternative) time for them. You know, nothing in the world can stop them from loving you and making you happy. So, don't make your family sad about you.

 

P.S.: I appreciate your attention to my notebook entry and your time to correct it for me. Have a nice day everybody.

Thanks a lot for your attention to my entry and sharing your thought with me, Charlescuy! I appreciate so much ! In this entry, I just expressed my feelings about a scene in the street. I agree with you about poverty and misery are not the same. In this situation, I think an old woman like that should be taken of by her family. She was hungry, thirsty and cold but nobody cared about that. I just feel a left old woman like that is so miserable. Thank you so much again for your comment, Charlescuy! Have a nice day.

This woman appears to be in a situation which many have a difficult time dealing with. You say she is miserable, but she might not complain of misery. She is begging, so she may be suffering from poverty, but that does not mean she is miserable. Poverty and misery are not the same. I am sure that you can find people who have more than enough money who are still miserable. I'm just saying that we don't always know how others feel, unless we ask them. I might just have a point of view which is different from that of others.
