  Life, Hope, and Courage are Needed! - To Become a Flower that Gives Courage to Those with Body and Mind Pain Until a month ago, I used to commute to work by taking two subway transfers and a 10-minute walk. Where I live is just a 2-minute walk from the subway station. To be precise, it takes less than a minute. Living on the 13th floor, depending on the elevator's status, it takes an additional 2-3 minutes. Still, I had to take a 6:2-minute subway. I have even taken an earlier subway once, at 5:57 AM. The strange thing is that unlike the 6:2-minute subway, the 5:57-minute subway doesn't have any available seats. It was crowded with people. I have a peculiar habit.

By focusing on these higher pursuits, individuals can find meaning and solace in a world that often seems filled with suffering. Sch...

Introduction Are people shaped by expectations? I experienced a turning point in my life in my early twenties. When I was poor and couldn't find my path in learning, I was inspired by a book I happened to read. I remember it as a book about positive thinking. It's known that there are many arguments against this claim. However, expectations of positivity towards humans can influence our attitudes, habits, and our entire lives. We cannot know everything about people. Even if we study MBTI, we do not have the right to confine people within those patterns. So, how can we overcome this? Respect begins with expectations. I have been teaching students for over 20 years. Now, I've become what's called a seasoned teacher. I can gauge to some extent the attitudes and expectations of students through their learning attitudes and test papers. However, I am very cautious about this. Many of the children I have met have faced difficulties in life because of teachers' attitudes l...
