Do you think your life is bigger than that?

A couple thousand years ago, Aristotle shared with the world the secret of his success. "'Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. he said, "Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." This is the man who has been well known. You'd think more of us would listen to what he had to say.
Odorous corruption hangs about me recently! Take yesterday evening into consideration, I didn't sleep until the wee hours since I had eaten away my time with some guys! Druing the diner, we talked all about nonsense things, maybe a little bit funny! What was all that about? Alright then, playing games, watching comedies, wandering the street, drinking away are pretty intersting! After laughing, do the things still mean anything?
I don't know why we indugle ourselves, but if I had to guess, I'd say it has a lot to do with laziness, the seeking short-lived pleasuer hobby. Life isn't all cakes and ale. Because, what if you fade all your talents, which others will never ever dream about? What if you kill the destination, which others will never ever reach to? Don't lock the stable door after all the horses have been stolen.
"Once you lose the way, you lose yourself. " Michael said this in prison break!
We are all in a position of Prision Break, aren't we! I've remembered the saying, remembered the idol who I wanna copy, remembered my grandpa teaching me about regretting, remember the hell of the New Oriental Spiritual prompting to make hay. Don't you wanna break out of the "prision" yourself?
Most people around would like to have these little hobbies. They don't want to watch themselves anyway. They make no attempt to make a progress.That's fine! The heck with you! I have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until I can't breathe anymore, until I finally understand for myself what Aristotle meant. That reading a book is better than watching a drama.That thinking is better than playing. And that even the most great disappointment, even the most terrible, most awful result beats the hell out of never finding.

Just what was your question? I think you have things pretty well figured out.

haha, I just wanna practice my writing somehow! Well, I didn't have enough time to write it at the time. So, I guess it might be a little bit confusing! To be honest, I hate to dream away my life like some lazy people who I know around! Thus, I empoly it as a topic to write about!

Well, I watched Prison Break in 2005!

I sort of backed into some information about you. 17 I hope you don't mind. But you have to understand that there's a reason I became a doctor. It's in my nature to want to help. From what I understand, it's in your nature, too. You did a lot of good things before you were in here--a lot of community work, a lot of charity work. What happened?" Quoted from Prison Break!
What a coincidence! I think I figure out this prison break thing!
You remind me of Prison Break again!
I gotta go now!
Have a great Wednesday!
