How Games Change the Reality? (Gaming is Not Bad at All)

        
        Games aren’t only designed for the purpose of entertainment. The additional purposes of games are that attempting to educate and train gamers in order to improve their intellectual and physical development. Games can be consisted with simple elements, such as several small pieces of matches and a rope. Tug of War is one of significant games, which we frequently play with friends in our childhood, aims to compete with the strength of both team. Comparing to the video games and mobile game apps in Twentieth-first century, we might think this game is boring and lacking of elements of stimulation. Nowadays, games are no longer playing by using real equipment along with advancement of the science and technology. The majority of gamers are addicted in a fabricate world of game. They access their own characters in digital world through Internet and begin their individual exploration. Most people who are not gamers claim that playing video games is good for wasting time when they have spare time and there is no any positive influence to people. 
       
      Tomb Raider is a popular move and it is also a kind of well-known video game. It is a type of adventured game. This video game has been published over ten generations of different stories in the past decade. It is designed for challenging the intelligence and solving-problem ability. Tons and tons clues as threads of each scene of stories are required to be solve in a limit time and each clue can’t be miss in order to accomplish the game. Because the main role of the game is Lara Craft, who is an adventurer and an archaeologist, the settings of environment of the story background are mainly mysterious temples and ancient tombs. Lara often wears a heavy weapon suit before she decides to accept the demands of her customers. Therefore, her weapon suit will be replaced the newest weapons every generation by game designers that is one of the characteristic parts of the game.Acquiring new weapons is an efficient way to game players to defeat the beasts and other treasure hunters easily. The difficulty of each challenge will be increased when the level of each challenge goes up. When Lara has found the hidden clue in each part of story, the level of difficulty will be raised. The task of each story Lara is required to kill all dangerous animals and enemies, to gather useful tools and the meaning of the mysterious clues for achieving the last challenges of a game. Outstanding visual performances and character’s adroit movements are the best selling points of the game. The purpose of this game is to prove that gamers can be educated by games positively and games can make people happy. Tomb Raider is one of excellent adventured games that I have ever played. Amazing stories and difficult clues lead game players into a fabricate world with fulfilled practical skills. We can obtain the pleasures from the game when we satisfy with the rewards of the game and individual efforts.If our community have the opportunity to provide works by structuring like game work, we might feel never enforce to work the same duties daily in reality. Moreover, we might have more spare time to work with our friends and families.
        Even though most people still argue that video games are one of well-known community obstacles, it is not bad at all. People can manager their times in playing video games for learning the intellectual skills and solving-problem skills. Playing games is good for metal development if gamers know how to manage their time for playing video games daily.
Good News for PSP Folks! The Upcoming New Version of Tomb Raider Will Be Launched Soon!
 

Should We Become Bystanders? ( Revised Version)

I don't doubt that people are very responsible to their families, friends and themselves, but I am wondering about that people have responsibility to a stranger. Responsibility is an understanding of what we have to do help ourselves or others. Most people might think responsibility is easy, but in reality it is not. If one of our families or friends has trouble, we can easy and provide help immediate. As opposed to a normal person, we will think over it. There are many reasons that people are considering not giving out help to others. However, one person’s responsibility can make big difference.
There are several advantages of being responsible toward people who need help. First, being responsible can lead to increase responsibility of others. For example, once my friend was in car accident on her way home from school in China, the driver ran away. She couldn’t move on road because her left ankle was hurt very badly. When cars drove through next to her, she was very scared. Finally, a person pulled her off on the sidewalk, and then other people who were standing around and watching began to help my friend. Therefore, people have the responsibility to help someone who is in an emergency situation get out of danger. It can also reflect a country, society and community solidarity. There was a huge natural gas explosion in San Bruno two months before, and many people suddenly lost everything. When people heard this news, a lot of people donated food, clothes, and shoes to help the victims to go through lives problems. In additional, there was a magnitude 6.9 earthquake in China’s remote Yushu County, so many people were died and injured. People were enthusiastically donating money and participating in disaster area to help rescue people. If people all take responsibility to all actions, our nation would be much better.
It is important to know that we are not responsibility for things that are out of our control. Nevertheless, there are some best was to help people without money. Being volunteers is one way to help people who are in need. For example, many charity organizations are looking for people to help serve meals to homeless people and exclusive elderly. Another way is to donate things that people need, but it’s extra or useless for you. Such as school supplies, used book, and old clothes are very helpful for children who are in very poor condition mountains areas and disaster areas. I have given out some usable clothes and soft toys to the Misson Ministeries. Moreover, the best way to help someone in danger is to call the police and the emergency ambulance. As an illustration, when you see somebody is in a car accident or a gun shooting situation, the best way is call the police right away and you will not get involve into the case.
Most people suspect a stranger whether to request or offer help. Once I asked a person to borrow a phone to call my sister to pick me up at the bus station because I lost mine at somewhere and didn’t have change for bus fare, but she didn’t believe what I said and she held tight her purse and ran away. I didn’t get her help. Furthermore, I was thought as a swindler. I was angry at what she did and thought about me. Due to this experience, I tried to help an old woman when I saw her having problem at the Bart station’s call box. I asked her, “Is there anything that I can help you?” I thought she must have something important that need to make a phone call, thus I told her to use my cellphone. However, she refused my help and she distrusted me. These indicate my thought of responsibility to people which if I always help people, I will receive help from others is naive.
Generally, people don’t like to take responsibility for others because they all have their own responsibilities’ views and they are affected by many factors. Helping someone is not necessary have to do with money. Sometimes just a little help can have a big effect. Therefore, we have responsibility to help people who are in needed.

Should We Become Bystanders?

     Have you ever seen some people who struggle for surviving all day? The majority of those people are destitute patients. The rate of medical assistant cases constantly increases every year in the United States rapidly. According to estimates of Center for Disease Control and Prevention, over one million people don’t have enough money to afford the expensive medical cost and most of them die by diseases. Although legislations of the United States don’t require us to help them in any kinds of financial support coercively, we should donate money in charity organization in order to help other people who in need actually. Being a bystander is simple because he/she doesn’t have to do anything.  The majority of bystanders will ignore what events occur around them even they involve in a series of cases. If everyone becomes bystanders, we won’t perceive any kinds of love expressions in our society such as compassion. People don’t want to help each other anymore, they may be selfish and self-centered. Therefore, we have a responsibility to help each other who needs emergency assistance. Helping people to overcome their obstacles what they face is a kind of pleasure. It also is a way to improve your social networks and get useful experiences from them. If we are no longer to be bystanders, we will have a steady and secure community. We are a part of members of human beings, and we have the responsibility to help others who need emergent help in order to develop a secure and peaceful society. 
      Everyone has responsibility to help others who need emergent financial or safety requirement without any rewards. It is a kind of moral behavior in order to make our community more peacefully and securely. There are two types of responsibility that individuals should help others who need help in economic and secure crisis. First of all, people can donate money and clothes to charity organization for helping other people who in need, especially homeless people. In recent years, homelessness has become a serious problem that might cause various negative effects such as crime and violence. Homeless people lose confidence to seek appropriate occupation constantly because majority of employers don’t hire them. It is the primary factor of the rate of crime increasing rapidly every year. For instance, a part of homeless people are addicted to drug. They may attempt to rob the valuables from others. Even worse, they rob the banks and murder any innocent bystanders. Providing financial support and used clothes to them might not help them in long-term way, but it is effective for reducing the rate of crime temporally. Another responsibility is that people should help others who are in emergency situations. We can’t run away when we see someone who is suffering. A famous Chinese proverb states: “To help others is the source of happiness.” In general, we should try hard to help others to solve their obstacles. Nobody concerns about what feeling that someone don’t get help from others. For instance, someone gets injury by car accident and nobody helps him immediately. This person may disappoint to those bystanders in the car accident scene at that moment. If the bystander effect spread out constantly, more and more innocent victims will get hurt. We have responsibility to protect others’ lives because we have to avoid the tragedy occurs.  In addition, devoting spare time to participate the volunteer service in charity organization is an excellent directly way to help homeless people. Teaching people don’t be bystanders when they see someone who needs help. Moreover, teaching the safe procedures to people is an efficient way to prevent the tragedy. For instance, they can directly treat the victims after the tragedy has occurred. They might call emergency assistance after they really couldn’t handle and prevent the matter to be worse. 
      Most people are always being bystanders when someone needs emergency help at risky situation. However, a few people will help others promptly. For instance, once I laid down my cell phone on the seat and got off the bus, a young girl who sat next to me got off the bus and gave my cell phone back to me soon. I was surprised at that time because I never ever experienced someone got my stuff back to me. I was to be thankful for this lady. Even though many people try to help others in any risky situations, a few people are being bystanders and waiting for the other people to help. Once I saw an elder man to find a heavy backpack because the bus was crowed, nobody abdicated a seat to this senior. Finally, I was disappointed by these bystanders and abdicated my seat to him. If I didn’t help this senior, I might felt selfish and unbearable. We have the responsibility to rescue someone who is struggling at crisis. I realize that our community will be more peaceful and secure when everyone no longer becomes a bystander.

Everyone Can Achieve Success

The Path to Success
Everyone desires to achieve success of their goals, but he/she always steps back while facing the challenges. These people decide that they should have courage in preparation for accepting the failure before they make attempts. I told that failure is the key of success in my last post and I believed that the majority of people have been heard such quotes over thousand times from others. However, a few people have the courage to keep going on their journey of failure until they reach their own satisfied outcomes.
Failures can be painful, but they can also be tools to achieve success. In other words, failure can motivate people to succeed. Most people fear to fail and consider that failures as a shame on their lives, so they try to avoid failures and they do not want to take risks.  The author of a book "Zero" Paul Logan says, “Even failure, as painful as it is, doesn’t have to be an ending.”  It can be a learning experience—one that builds strength and gives direction. Unlike the people who fear to fail, the others try to fail and treat failures as tools to achieve their success. For example, athletes are never satisfied with finishing goals, and they expect higher-level. It is challenging to reach higher goals at first, but they are willing to attempt again after they fail. Even though they still do not reach their goal after constant attempts, they improve their potential to become champions for the future. In a Youtube video, Michael Jordan, a famous basketball player says, “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” As a professional athlete said, “a winner mostly made more failures than loser did.” If people do not want to fail and take a risk, they never know how well they can do.Self-confidence is one of essential keys to turn failures into success.It is also the best treatment to solve the problem about the fear of failure.

Success and Failure (Revised Version)



It is the time to introduce the relationship between success and failure. What is the scale of the success? Does it mean to lead everyone to have quality lives?  Everyone wants to be successful and a winner in their lives. To define the term of success, most people think success is being rich, being high educated or being famous. Nobody wants to be fail or a loser. However, being failed does not mean as being a loser, failure can be a key of success, if we can learn from it. The numerous attempts of failure are the best teacher for someone who wants to succeed. There are various types of failures people face as they grow up. People may fail their classes in school. They may fail their interviews when they seek jobs. When they look for relationships, they may fail in confessing their love. It is hard to avoid failures in human lives because it is a process of growth that people need to go through. As a book writer Chris Brogan says, “Failure is not a bad thing because it can help you succeed.”
Most people forgot the failure that they overcame in childhood. Children usually learn from failures as soon as they failed. For example, when children start to learn bicycling, they fall down and cry first. Even though they get hurts, they get up and try again and again until they succeed. They do not learn instructions from their parent’s, but they learn from their failures by themselves. In addition, as people read about biographies of successful people, they can realize that most of them have similar parts of their lives. They failed many times before they succeed. Thomas Edison, a famous American inventor said, “If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.” After people have a failure, they know they did not do it right or they made mistakes. They analyze the failures and step forward to succeed.
Failures and success are two words with opposite meaning, but failures can lead to success if we can learn from failure and take effort to overcome it. Also, it is inspiring for people who are aggressive to measure how succeed they can do. As I understand the key of succeed, I am not fear to fail and I will learn from failures. It is not a big deal to fail, but someone who gives up after they fail could be a loser. As a quote from the essay “Failures and Success”, “what would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?” Not all famous people who have been success are born with talents, but they did go through failures to achieve their success.

A Question To New Post

Most of  you had been viewed my blogs about genuine education in the past couple of weeks. I also introduced the genuine definition of eduacation and the elements should genuine education include. Do you get interested in my blog? If not, how can I improve my blog and what the next blog should be in order to be satisfied with your requirement?

Having A Quality Education

   


     Let me to continue to discuss the last topic about what is genuine eduation. Having a high standard of quality eduacation is a dream for most teachers and students who desire to achieve because it rarely happens in reality. Genuine education is not a simple process of transmitting knowledge from someone to another. Applying their critical thinking into investigating is good for developing their skills. For instance, a graduating college student works for a well-known international computer software company. He can use perfectly what he has learnt from an instructor at his campus who earns a master degree in computer software field. One day, his manager offers him into a software department and he is appointed to lead a team to design new anti-virus software. However, he is not good at design the software of computer security and finally he lost his occupation. That is an excellent example to demonstrate that a person won’t be successful in real world if he doesn’t know how to learn more different techniques from various professions in or der to improve himself. 
    Giving the fundamental knowledge and teaching the efficient method to learn for students are both necessaries in order to help them having a good quality of education.  In recent years, more and more college students lost confidence to continue to complete the rest of their education at campus because they never get an excellent method for learning from educators as a guide to help them achieve the success at school.  The second obstacle that most teachers desire to distribute all their knowledge they have learned to students, but they never concern about some students might not get the mean ideas during the class. It is one of factors that causes them doing not well in their homework and getting a low grade from the test. In the article “The Arts at Black,” Mountain College Josef Albers mentions that “Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers.” The idea of this sentence is that giving the fundamental knowledge to student without guiding students to learn is not enough. Because an educator only has the limited skills, students should know how to learn efficiently in order to pursue more experience and skills from their life.  Therefore, teachers ought to adjust their negative habit of study and teach them the efficient method for learning. They also have to encourage students to read more different types of books, to participate the class activities and to take the good notes in class.  These activities are very helpful to improve the skills of students.

How to be Happier in Education

        Education is an essential part of our lives. Education is a key which leads us to have a successful life in the future, but people never know that only a tiny part of people can achieve success in their education. Elders frequently say that current children should be happy in their education because they have the opportunity to go to school every day. Conversely, most students strongly disagree with their views because they think that the process of achieving the path at campus is the process of falling into the hell. Dozens of schoolwork are always beside the working desks with students. There is a huge burden for students and it is one of reasons makes students unhappy in learning at school. Students cannot be pleasure at school because they don’t know the actual meaning of happiness in education. We have various methods to be happier in education, such as seeking the personal interests, setting appropriate educational goals and communicating with classmates and teachers.
       Most students never concern that education isn’t a type of responsibility which is given by parents. However, they always recognize that the purpose of learning is to get the highest grade as possible for presenting to their parents and ignore whether they enjoy in learning or not. Their responsibility is to produce an excellent grade report card to their parents even though they are enforced to learn a hateful major at campus. Getting excellent grades in various classes doesn’t always make students happy in education. These students will be difficult to seek their occupations because of their lack of specific skills. College students should learn how to seek their interests because it is important to determine their capacity in the future. A well-known psychologist Daniel Goleman says that “Psychologists agree that intelligence quotient contributes only about twenty percent of the factors that determine success. A full eighty percent comes from other factors, including what I call emotional intelligence.” When these students find their interests, they should choose a major related to their individual interest. If they study in their favorite major, they will spend more time on their investigating. They can be happier in their own work and have the opportunity to learn more skills to educate themselves. Everyone can be happier when they seek their actual interests from their lifetime.
      Setting appropriate educational goals is one of methods that can make people be happier and help them to succeed in their education. Nowadays, students in the United States are accustomed to enjoy their comfortable formal lives and only a few of them has a clear future educational goals. The author of Happiness Tal Ben-Shahar writes that “having goals, having a clear sense of purpose, is necessary in order to attain flow.” Life is full of conflicts, so we should have preparation to face the difficulties which come from the life in the future. On another way, challenges are the excellent opportunity to improve and develop our skills. When students concentrate on one task and they won’t be interrupt by bystanders, they are going into a situation of happiness. It is easily to attain success. For instance, our school basketball team has a basketball competition with a basketball team of another school. The audiences around the basketball field who support our school team to yell loudly. At the beginning, the audiences are attracted by this wonderful competition. Three hours has gone but the audiences still feel that it seemed that just ten more minutes had passed only.
