I chose some difficult topics for my English level and I think I created problems to who has tried to help me. I apologise. I like English and I need to learn this foreign language. In this way I created damage to myself. A friend of mine gave me a piece of advice. He suggested me to write texts more shorter than ones written so far. He added further that If I will write to and complicated arguments and difficult it would be better to divide them so the members of Italki's community will be able to correct them with calm in theirs free time.

So I might understand better the important aspect of English. When I will become good than now in English I will able to write to use my personal metaphor.

A drop in the ocean In my opinion the honesty is very important rather it's a fundamental value that humans which should possess. I don't know maybe I won't be able to go so far away but I don't want to change myself. I think to be a correct person too for conceive the dishonesty in the others. I'm not be silly. I'm a freethinker with open mind but it observing many people I often broken some friendships. Who believes to be smart often get lose in a glass of water. This glass is like a drop in the ocean but the small things are the most important in life. Every person, animal, thing is important for me and it must be respected. Each of them is one of those drops. Day by day, drop by drop the water will go out of the glass and from this will be born a river and after a sea of indifference and cunning (in negative sense) to others. I can see the drop...I can see to look at over this and far away. I can understand and I can choose. I don't want to close my eyes and turn my back. I usually spend my time in a lot of wars which aren't mine. I believe it is right. All people deserve a second chance but this is an another speech. One of drop can tell a lot of thing about a person. It's important to learn to observe because our mind lead us the emotions positive or negative and move ours mind and behaviour to world.
