I pity those who do not have shelter, food or clothing; indifference is everywhere. For those of us living with basic necessities, we must count our blessings, no matter political background. But what do I think is most important in life? One, to be happy. Two, to think differently. Three, to know what is out there.
Happiness is a positive emotion that will drive us further in life to acheive our ambitions. If somebody lacks joy in there life, then there is no meaning in life. If one does not believe in any meaning in life, then there will be no hope for that individual. I want to be happy until my last breath of living and I hope to spread happiness to everybody in the world with all my effort. A good laugh or kind deed is a good start.
Creativity should be valued with tremendous respect. It is the creative minds that generates creative thoughts and transform these ideas into great achievements. Without creativity, humanity might still suffer the circumstances of a primitive civilization. Humans are not equipped with sharp claws or teeth but with a brain of imagination and ingenuity. Creativity is the human element, the human instinct of survival and progress.
Curiosity is the key that opens the door of uncertainty beyond our current reach. The fostering of inquiry will enhance anybody's willingness to think and learn. By removing curiosity out of this picture, we are introducing a world of ignorant fools who cannot critically reason their way out of any learning experience. I do not want to see society based on ignorance.
I would like to contribute or give back to the world and I would also encourage others to do so and follow this persuit, this ambition of building a better, brighter future. Followers of this grand persuit does not require great intelligence or ego but three keystone factors: Happiness, Creativity, Curiosity. It takes a lot to make big leaps but small gentle steps to boost mankind. Ultimately, the many small progressive, and positive steps we make will forge our future and potentially change our fate.

Welcome to stevenzheng-A1 blog!
Let there be no violence and there will be peace. Let there be reason and there will be understanding. I want to promote peace and understanding, therefore I will.
