[TOEFL] A/D Advice from older friends is more valuable than that from friends at the same age. When people are getting older and older, with no question we shall gain some lives experience during the process of time flushing. But I cannot say firmly that younger one’s advice is less valuable than older ones. Primarily, I do not think a suggestion offered by a youth is unacceptable. Because those inexperience and innocent brains always would think more surreal which means maybe above realistic but creative and fresh. Experience during life time makes people used to do low-risk taking, but not go adventure mode. That means we have lost a bunch of opportunities here during our over-thinking period. All the revolution include Renaissance, Industrialization, even pop art, I do not think any of this was keeping the old rule or discipline made it. Furthermore, it is crystal clear that the valuable of advice is depends on how well the person been educated. Therefore, speaking of age, it is just about how long the people had born but nothing else. For example, my drive coach is a middle-aged man, about 45. He is a very crude person who cannot stop smoking, even we four pupils all in the car, and he has very bad temple without any patient to teach us driving lesson. If I got chance I would switch my driving coach immediately without any hesitates. As these sorts of person, no matter how many years they grow or alive, they are always immature and ignorance. Because of that, people who have sensible conscious would never ask advice from these people. However, there is no intention to promote that older friends’ advice are not valuable without any reservations on the basis of its limitations. For instance, they have been though a lot, very possible that they had exact position as you are being though right now. Even they made wrong decisions in their times, that is also will be good tips for you to go the next steps. While from another perspective, none of us is being though the same circumstances, none of person’s experience can be copied. Empiricism sometimes can mislead us to the wrong paths. From what has been discussed above, I would support that advice from older friends is not so valuable to compare to them from friends at same age.

I'm a procrastinator. Dec.16 Sunny Oh, god... I still haven't got the ideas of graduation sodding project. Tomorrow is Wednesday, and I'm gonna set out for America this Saturday. It has been half a month since my last nasty TOEFL experience, but until this moment, I even haven't really started into serious review... Obviously, I'm a procrastinator. Sadly I have to admit that all my big failures which happened in my life are caused by procrastination. I know it's not so easily that I can conquer right after, but I should be just get started things I have to do, and tell myself every second is another deadline.

Looking forward to my upcoming trip Dec.14 Rainy I still haven't gotten the ideas of graduation project, struggling... At the meantime, I have to learn English and take driving lessons as well, stressful... The only way be able to reduce pressure is keep doing what you ought to do. By the way, actually an hour ago, I was really preparing to go to bed, but at that moment I received a message from Jess to having an audio chat. She is one-fourth Chinese, very kind and gentle lady who live in Oakland. What a coincidence next week I'm gonna stay San Francisco for a week! She even invited me to hanging out a bit during her holidays, exciting... I have rare experience to meet people who met online, let alone on foreign land (Although I hold U.S green card, but it's still not gonna be the same as China)... Really need chances to speaking English face to face.

Chinese shopping day Dec.12 Smog Do you know October 11th is actually Chinese shopping day? Today December 12 is another classical example. I don't know why these two promotional specially days sat so close to each other. October 11 was actually bachelor day before it has become a serious shopping day. Because '11.11' is consist of four '1', couple basically should be use '2' to express, so that's the reason why it was bachelor day. However, the '12.12' doesn't make sense at all. Obviously, we should give credit to the business. I got discounts for 4 items on Taobao.com. 3 pairs of Socks, T-shirt, coat and 1 stuffed pig, absolutely adorable one for my mum, she can place it on the sofa maybe, looking forward to it. (chuckling)

Thinking the bright side Dec.11 Rain Here we go, I skipped a day to keep diary, not again... Actually, these two days don't have funny things to talk about at all, what just happened deeply upset me... However, life is still on track, which will never care about your mood. I should cheer myself up. Since I read that 'Roman Polanski Autobiography', every time it reminds me there is no difficulty we can not conquer. His mother was died in one of those evil concentration camps; His wife was killed by the mad Manson Family. How dreadful! What am I gonna do, if these things happened on me? I even don't have the gut to think about it. As Woody Allen have written in 'Match Point': Some people just don't have any luck. So do I... Night-night.

I'm beginning to keep an English diary here Dec.9 Smog Today my mother finally went to the barbershop to do her hair in order to consume my perm which soon would close to expiration. She is a loyal christian and fond of those adorable angels who belong to the medieval traditional European oil paintings. That was the reason why she wanted her hair seems like angels, short and natural curl, just like Mia Farrow's hair cut in 'Rosemary's.Baby.1968'. But when she back home, the hair was just like bombed or something which looks so cheap and poor taste. I knew it... I helped her fix that after all, but I do think that Chinese barbers don't have high aesthetics expect those shops which charge you more than 1000 Yuan. I really think that Chinese barbers' licenses should require associate degree or something equal as that. They should study on those Renaissance statues' hair instead of making people's hair just like bar girls. All for today's diary, hope I could keep this up. Thanks for reading it, please give me some advises on language only if you have time.
