A person’s action is more important than a person’s words. They may say things they don’t mean or something untrue. If you judge a person by their actions instead, you will see them for who they truly are.  An example of trusting someone’s words when they shouldn’t have is in the movie “The Lion King”. The scar was jealous of Mufasa. Mufasa was the king and he ruled fairly. He also always thought about what was best for his kingdom and the animals living there. However, Scar just wanted to be ...

This video communicates about the definition of a good person. Each individual defines being a good person differently by perspective. The definition of a good person is narrow due to the human brain relies on shortcuts to do a lot of its work.

In addition human brain can only process limited amount of information due to its limited capacity. The ...

Odysseus is the main character of Homer’s tragedy The Odyssey. He’s stoic, brave, strong, and commonly assisted by the Gods. While he is widely considered the main hero, could he not be considered the villain from some points of view? To Polyphemus, a Cyclops that Odysseus tricked and attacked, our protagonist is no hero. Or perhaps to the suitors of Odysseus’ wife, Penelope, he is a villain. These contradictions to his noble character pose a question of whether Odysseus is truly a hero, or if ...

I was taught by the famous Chinese philosopher Mencius when I was a young age. He suggested that humans are inherently good. And his thought inspired me to think more about the nature of humans. There have always been debates on whether human beings are born good or evil. It is extremely hard to define what is good and evil. Modern psychologists suggest that ‘being good’ is being morally correct and making ethical decisions; while ‘being bad’ means a person is making selfish decisions, and ...

What I hope to do with this talk is share a way of considering life. Everything is metaphor. When you hear my words they are being connected from your ears to your brain and then to your own interpretation of these words. Words are just symbols that we use to communicate. Almost all communication is symbolic, the clothes you wear are chosen to express particular feelings , even our body language is learned impersonations of our idols that we see in life and media. Just like a street sign, ...

I love you! We use this more often to express our feelings towards others. It’s kinda overused for people around us. But describe yourself. How many of us have said or meant that to ourselves? Do you love yourself enough? Most of our answers would be “No”. I’m talking about that love, which grows inside you and heals you. I’m talking about that love, which you forgot to give yourself but sent out to others wholeheartedly. We spend hours comforting others and making sure that they are doing ...

Everyone has a great story to tell. We all want our story to be great when people know about it. Some said that your story will be great if you’ve got big dreams. Especially when those dream will happen in real life. We continue to live hoping that our dreams will someday be fulfilled. Just like PT Barnum (Hugh Jackman) the protagonist of this film, on his quest in proving he got something in this world. All he wanted was to show the world that from this poor little kid who was once a son of a ...

Cristina considers herself a good woman, but she feels sad and discouraged because some people around her say that she is not good, that she is stupid and that people are mistreating her. Cristina is not stupid, she realizes that some people have abused their trust and their good will and yes, sometimes the feeling is a little disappointed because people who do favors or treats do not react so good with kindness. But what hurts most is that others think they lack intelligence and try to scam ...

We are destined to accomplish something extraordinary. In any case, in the middle of birth and demise lies a way that life clears for us; a way that we should load up with something that gives our lives meaning. I believe being a 'good person' ethically or moral is making the best decision notwithstanding when nobody else is observing. Although, there are times where the deterrents of life appear to outdo us, and we frequently released it to heart. Furthermore, by hindrances, I mean ...
