The Way I Live All that is needed to get really started in Lang-8 seems to introduce my own living way now. As you know, I'm now in my 4th year in university and will go to Beijing to continue my study. Before those forseeable challenging days, I have to enter another two exams. One is for security qualification while the other is for qualification of lawyer. I have spent most of the time in four years reading those authentic books which can for the most part inspire and interest me without regard to the so-called "certificates" which is widely believed today as the symbol of a successful university student. Fortunately I gradually find that I'm really good at taking exams and got the final chance to go to Tsinghua this September. Yet I had a feeling recently that it's not me that definite the conception of "success" and it may helpful to own some "qualifications" instead of immersing and finally being drought in the ocean of books and thoughts. So I've decided to boost my enegy of act and try to find some volunteer work in Beijing. Practice makes the perfect, I believe. O, I've nearly forgotten to introduce my charactor but it's ok since you'll know me better after then. As most of my friends say I'm easygoing and very helpful, yet sometimes I'm strict selecting friends to open my heart to and people to cooperate with. Anyway it depends. See you later, guys. PS: something to share: "Atlas.China.Revealed.2006"---if you want to know a real China, watch it.
