Welcoming the New Year

After almost two months at home, I am finally back at the university to welcome the new semester. However, I will have no classes in my next one- and-a-half years, a fact which really upsets me since it might be a signal that my happy and carefree student years are over. On the other hand, I have to consider how to make full use of the spare time and not regret that I've wasted my time.

During the winter vacation, I happened to watch a TV program about health care and it said that people who are quick-tempered are more likely to get sick. This gave me cause to think as I, myself, am a rash person and easily lose my temper. In fact, in the past my mum has told me thousands of times that I have to give up this bad habit, but I don't think it is easy to change one's temperament, so I've usually just ignored her words. But this time, I decided to make a change. It is because being even-tempered will not only help me to stay healthy, but also benefit me a lot in the future, especially when I find a job.

From the beginning of this year, I have learned to do things one-by-one and deal with everything calmly. Perhaps still, at times, I'm still unable to control my temper, but I can feel the improvement I have gradually made and now, every time when I start to feel annoyed, I tell myself that I should go easy and that being impatient will not help me to solve any problem. So, my advice is; "Everybody, just be happy and keep smiling every day, since there are no setbacks that we cannot overcome. Please remember: time flies no matter if you are happy or not, so why not live happily every day?"
