The world as i see it

The world. Why are we living here? What for? I've been thinking a lot about these questions, but i haven't understood yet. And i'm sure that even in the future humanity won't find the answer for them. So now, i want to describe just my thoughts, that i have in my mind, they are not as philosophical as i wanted to have, but they are mine. 

  First i want to say some words about myself. At first sight i'm just a usual girl, with goes to school and like sweets and dancing. May be it is true. But i believe that i'm something or someone more than it, and if i'm not - i will. I really love my family, because it gave me all i have now, they "made" me (not at all but they gave a basis). Sometimes i imagine my life in the other place with other people, and it frighten me. It doesn't mean i'm against changes, opposite i like them, because they make my life more interesting and unusual, that just mean that i'm a human. Now, i have many hobbies that also adorn my life. I like to forget everything while dancing, painting, reading. Despite i forget everything, my mind and my soul feel complete.

 From my point of view, the most important thing in my life is a belief and i don't mean religion, i just want each person not to give up, even if he finds all this world is pointless and wants to finish all this strange gave. We should dream, we should discover, travel, smile, cry, feel, work. And of course we should love and be happy. For me, to love and be loved is one of the greatest gifts in the world.

The world as I see it

I read other posts on this theme, because I don't really understand what to write. MY world is immense.  And I don't know how to talk about it in one post. Even if only the main things - they won't go in. So I'll talk about my opinion on things, that my classmates already talked about. 
I don't think, that the age of person plays a big role in the way he sees the world. You can be 30/40, but not cleverer than the men in his twenties. As I see - you should count from his experience, because the time is nothing compared to things, that we live through.
I was born in Moscow and the first language that I learned was russian. But my family is armenian, they moved to Russia after the collapse of USSR. So that is my biggest complex. That I don't really have a motherland. When I am in Erevan - everybody speaks with me in russian (even that I know armenian) and all in a all call me a russian person. But in Moscow I'm armenian for everybody. So I am not a part of something. Of something big, huge, enormous. And I never understand poems about motherland of such a great poets as Yesenin, Bloc and etc.
The other thing - is education. I always liked literature and math. And could never diced which one I like more, which is more "mine", you know? But then I realized, that in our world (and especially in our country) money is one of the most important things. And I am not confident in thinking, that the profession of journalist will help me to have them. So the choice is obvious. 
The most important things in my life are books and music. I can't say, that I'm good at it, because I read/listen only things, that I like and can't force myself to do something, that I don't. But in books, in music I can find myself. It is like a small world in my head in which I can return when everything in the other one, the big one, is making me sick. 
I think person's world is a list of things, that he likes, that he feels, that he does everyday. All this little things accumulates in something uniform and we call it "our world".

"It is harder to change human nature than to change rivers and mountains".

          Sometimes it is harder to change human's nature, than rivers and mountains. However, rivers and mountains are also considered as nature in its wider sense and that nature appears to be the various and complicated system on the planet, called the Earth. Which is known as a habitat of a Man. So the say, that it is easier to change outside than inside. 

Now let's stand back from the discussion and try looking into the history. Can you say, that humans character is similar to the one, that was thousand years ago? If it is too much, take half a thousand. Are the way of acting, goals and values of a man nowadays the same, that a man in twenties century had? Since the time, human being inherited the Earth, he has been changing the world for his comfort. And definitely has been changing himself, according to the conditions he made.  

A person truly can adapt to any circumstances. And that is good, because many of them are out of our will. Life often limits people's choice, and circumstances affect people's views. That's why after a great changes of our lives, we also change a lot.  

No idea about introduction, topic is a little bit dark for me. So, I begin immediately.

Changing people is difficult, this fact is incontestable. Character includes many traits, and remove one or all of them seems quite impossible. In modern community it's customary to respect individualiry of every person, take into account special aspects of temper. And this fact sounds funny for me. So, it means, that you can do everything you want, and nobody can remark on your behavior: that's just a kind of character, get over it. Rubbish! If you conduct yourself like a rude fellow, you have to not only think about everyone's politeness. If  you don't play any role in social life, don't cry and complain. Work at your own personality, become stronger.

Some people think, that changing human nnature is much harder, that to change rivers and mountains. Of course. Theoretically, we don't make every effor for drill stone or stop a stream, with modern technologies it's easy. But there is a big difference between these changes. Human can do with his character quite everythig he wants. Yes, it takes much time, but temper is alterable. 

In contrast to nature. You can't fix a mountain, fill again a river, grow a forest in the shake of a hand. Nevertheless we still destroy it feel free, because it's easy. And who cares.

Of course character changing is time-consuming, hard and sometimes painful. But we can return it at any time. Nature is more variable. And irretrievable.

Sorry for confusion, mistakes and thank you for attention.

It is harder to change human nature than to change rivers and mountains.

Hi there! Today we are talking about human nature in comparison with real nature that surrounds us every day.

I've read previous posts (by my classmates), and sometimes I agreed with their points of view, and sometimes I didn't. So, this post is not absolutely independent (

What can we say about Real Nature? Of course, it is a big, enormous power. Humanity exists for 150000 years (I talk about exactly our specie), BUT (!) we still can do almost nothing with our nature (except predicting and some pathetic attempts). Yes, I exaggerate, but hey.

What about human nature? Every single person is unique. Everybody has own habits, hobbies, problems etc. And people are really difficult creatures. It is necessary to have personal attitude to every personality. There are lots of professions that are connected to psychology, because it is really tricky.

But, to be truthful, I wouldn't say that it's harder to change human nature. If you have some experience of communicating with people, you will be able to influence on somebody. Of course, it is hard to change someone comletly, but still you can do it step by step. If you are in close relationship with someone, you can try, and sometimes it will work. 

Finally, I want to say that it is difficult to change someone, but if you really want, if you desire, you may succeed. 

"It is harder to change human nature than to change rivers and mountains".

Human, firstly, is a personality. You can’t apply the same approach to each. People are different - shy, broad-minded, aggressive, stubborn. Every man to his own taste. And each has its own features - both physical and mental. You need to know how to approach to each. And this, believe me, is almost impossible.

As for the nature - it is the only one. And for many millenniums. People already know how to tame natural cataclysms, how to create sculptures from stone, paper from trees, food from animals.

But human is different. The only one who can understand him - is himself. And even then not always. For example me. My biggest problem - is myself. My features. If I knew what to change, everything in my life would be easier. But this ia a dream. An impossible dream.

Only man himself can make him change. But the point is that very often even he don’t know how.

As for me - human being is very complex. The power of thought, for example. You can drain the lake, but not the thought, unless this  person woun’t let you do it.

It's harder to change human nature than to change rivers and mountains

Everybody has different characteristics, preferences, goals of lives from their childhood. A person lives in their own world and he creates and makes his life good or bad. He is like a painter of it. When you want to say and change life of someone it is a stupid idea because people do not listen to advise of other people and have their own opinion. That's why changing human nature is very difficult and you better not do it. As for nature changing I can say that nowadays you can easily find impact of people in different nature ways - mountains, rivers, waterfalls and other things. That's why better change something around you than people. 

Moving Mountains and Turning Watercourses Is Easier Than Changing Someone

I sincerely hope I got the topic of this entry right. Do forgive me if I mixed it up.
I'm going to start without further a-do.

I agree with the statement.
Nothing can stop nature from taking it's course. The process of withering stones with wind, rain, and sunlight, rivers widening and taking up land. It takes thousands of years to change it completely, but each day, step by step, it changes still.

A person, however, is an entirely different matter.  Unless someone wants their mind changed, they will never back down on their beliefs. In every argument, one or even both people might be wrong. The wiser one will admit his fault, but the other won't out of principal. I, personally, rarely agree with someone. In most cases I'm right, in others I am wrong and I admit it, but sometimes, when the argument takes a personal pov turn, then hell, no one will make me change my mind. Even if I know I'm wrong, I'm not going to admit it. Ever. I won't apologize, either. The only exception in this case is the necessity of keeping the relationship going for one reason or another.

So, as you see, the human factor, or, rather, the power of thought, plays a big role in changing (or preserving) things.

I'm sorry this turned out rather short, but I really can't think of some other explanation and the existing one is, well, easy to explain.

Human nature is much more stronger than the Earth nature. Simple desire and efforts are not enough to change a human being.

Only the man can change himself and nobody else. For example only on his own will he can turn from a nervous into a calm person. However I should mention one thing: changing the nature is possible when a person is clever enough to analyze his own behavior and his position in society

.

It’s quite easy to change rivers and mountains because of modern technologies – you can blow a mountain, you can dig a new estuary. Human beings use the chemicals and the nature changes the image. The nature changes itself due to external biological laws, which you can be influenced by a human being. Ecology is changing because of the human activities.

One of the evidences is a famous dystopia by Anthony Burgess “A Clockwork orange”, where the lead character Alex is a cruel and immoral teenager, getting into prison. He was given an experimental behaviour-modification treatment. Because of this experiment he stopped to be violent. At the beginning the doctors turned Alex into a “kind” and harmless person, but after a while he returned to his old behaviour– he became violent and started committing cruel murders. This novel illustrates, that even strong psychological impact can’t change a man.

I can not but mention a novel by Ken Kessey “One Float Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, where you can see changes of personality of mentally sick people in asylum influenced by one man. Patrick McMurphy – the lead character, was a rioter, who was able to change the beliefs and motivations of the loonies but this happened when these miserable people realized the need to change. In the end of the novel the patients escaped from the hospital without caring about the consequences. It is an illustration that even mentally sick people can change themselves if they want to.

I know how it’s hard to change my opinion about something until I understand the need of these changes. I really personally believe that it is easier to change rivers and mountains rather than to change a person. 

Oh my… I’m so late…

Anyway, good day everyone. Perhaps I’m not the best storyteller, less philosopher, but hope my attempt at writing and thinking won’t fail at all. Because of my age and nebulosity of topic, underwritten text will be just a flow of momentary thoughts, not more. So, let's begin.

As far back as I can remember, my own world has involved a lot of aspects: family, friends, school, traveling, sport, TV, games, books, drawing and many others. I was interested in quite everything around me, that fact brought me some problems, but learning new things was amazing.

Till recently a lot changed, and now I can’t exactly say what I’m interested in. Every day is the same: I wake up, go to school, visit courses, try doing homework, surf the Net and go sleeping. And it’s really boring. Sometimes I want lie on my bed and do nothing, just talking with my snail. I even don’t know what I want to do after school because of my phlegmatic temperament. I immediately need a big aim. Of course, there is one, but it’s too unreal to be a good motivation.

Okay. It’s time to stop my weeping about non-existence. I’m an ordinary person, and there are some things, that I like. And all of them have one small peculiarity: they fill up the emptiness. Everywhere. I draw on quite every empty piece of paper, and my “wry” arms can’t stop me. I sew, because I like looking at wardrobe, which is full of original and colorful costumes. I sing, when stay alone at home, because it’s too quite. And I’m inveterate traveler (for my age, of course). There are still many countries and much place for stickers on my bag.

But nevertheless my life is pretty good. I like this world, despite of many wars, disasters. I love my country. Being Russian, feeling like Russian, thinking like Russian – yes, I’m proud of my birthplace. Unfortunately I won’t catch time, when mankind colonizes space, and that’s my biggest regret.

So… I think that’s all. A little bit chaotic, shortly.  But thank you for attention and have a nice day.

The world as I see it…It's very difficult to tell how I see the world, but I'll try to describe the world around me and I hope that you will enjoy it. First of all, I'd like to tell something about myself. I was born in Moscow on 23 th of April. My parents are different nationalities and I really like it. My mother is from Russia and father from Serbia. Each of them has spoken to me his own language since my childhood that's why I can easily speak in russian and serbian. I have two sisters - one is studying in the university and small one is in the 4 th grade. Talking about me, I've been studying in my school 45 since the 1 grade and now I'm in 10th. I really like literature and languages. I've always been dancing, but every time something different. Now I'm having classes of Serbian Folklore. I played tennis, played voleibol, swam, practiced ice skating. So, I'm sporty at all. I'd like to study journalism and now I'm preparing for it. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. We often spend weekends together - sometimes go for a walk, sometimes go to restaurant, sometimes go to the cinema and do other interesting things. 

So, talking about the world as I see it..I live in Russia, but part of my life is in Serbia, that's why I have two worlds I live in and they are very different. Talking about Moscow, I can say that there are a lot of people because of it there are too many cars and traffic. Every time people are getting nervous when  they're stuck in traffic during the rush hours. People here are more nervous and more tired of their life. Also, it depends on weather. Winter here takes the biggest part of the year than in other European countries. Talking about Belgrade, I can say that the level of education, salary is very different from russians. It's a bit poor country with many problems. But I like people there, they are always friendly and shy, they are always ready to help and to talk to you. To sum up, I want to say that people have to calm down and be more relaxed and everything would be better. 

Thank you for reading this!

P.s. sorry for my mistakes:) 

In times of doubt and confusion always keep to familiar things, and since I only have a vague idea about how to start to unroll the given topic, I'm going to start with a hello. So, here it goes:

Hello!

I'm Asya, a 16 year old socially anxious nerd. Born into the family of educated and intelligent people, I have been tutored from an early age. My grandmother taught me to read and the basics of English, told me historical and physical facts while taking walks. In fact, I am grateful for my upbringing. It gave me a sort of a head start on life when I was too small to understand how things worked on my own. 

Back when I was about 4- 6 years old, I was an active and a bit rebellious child (in difference to my current lifestyle): I never asked for help, always wanted to figure things out on my own. I made my own decisions (which, admittedly, hadn't always been wise) and acted on feeling rather than thought. In kindergarten I used to be in charge of keeping everything and everyone in order: I pointed out other childrens' mistakes, cleaned up messes after everyone and helped the teacher calm everyone down. But when it came to the "quiet hour" of sleep, I would sometimes get in little arguments with the teacher on the topic of letting me play instead of sleeping, which I just couldn't do both at home and in kindergarten. Of course, I never won and was walked to my bed, where I would lie awake huffing angrily until my mind slipped into imaginary dimensions I either made up myself or read about in books and I couldn't be bothered with the reality of my neighbor wetting herself. 

I didn't get to "graduate" from kindergarten due to my father's job. He was sent on an official journey to Brussels, Belgium and mom and I were to follow him. There I went to 1st grade and developed my mischievous talents by climbing trees (that once included falling off and then telling mom years later), eating wild nuts and apples, fencing with sticks, reenacting adventures we read about, playing spy wars and tag with friends. In second grade I played leading roles in school plays and even managed to take 4 ballet lessons before I started running off to gain new bruises and scars I considered war trophies. In 3rd grade things changed a bit because I was accepted to Brussels American School to which I owe practically every life opportunity I now have with this passable knowledge of English. It didn't go so well the first few months, but then one day words weren't a problem anymore- I just sort of felt their meaning. Dad and I began ordering books from the monthly Scholastic catalogue we were given at school. Books in English were a whole new world for me. Now besides lending tons of books from the embassy library, I took packs of them home from the library at BAS- I couldn't get enough!

Unfortunately, everything comes to an end and so did dad's business trip. I had to fly back to Moscow several months earlier because of the acceptance exams to this school. Actually, part of the reason for my dislike of this place is the extra few months I didn't get to spend in Brussels, which I believed and still believe to be my home. The other reason is that people I met here were utterly different from those I knew back in Brussels. My trustworthiness and good will were considered character traits of a weak person. I didn't want to take anymore of that, so I started giving people what they truly deserved- didn't matter if they were so called friends or not. I became direct, sarcastic and malevolent. I hid behind this wall of indifference towards the world and with time, the only people who could cope with my character and circle of interest were fictional characters. 

Now my life revolves around music, books, movies and tv-series. Nothing can stop me from reading 'till morning and lying awake thinking about subcontext. I love watching historical and scientific programs and later googling for more information on the topics mentioned in them. I easily get obsessed with books. At the moment, I have 4 great weaknesses: everything to do with Tolkien, A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin, Harry Potter and Victor Hugo and Dostoyevsky's novels. 

Also I'm a bit crazy about linguistics. I get overly excited from understanding meanings of words of languages I don't yet know. I love distinguishing shared roots of words and and their origins. I'd love to bury myself in old parchments and books in some library reading Norse myths or legends about kings of early Middle Ages. 

Art and music make me happy, too. I love Rembrandt, Giotto, van Eyck, Dürer, both Bruegels; impressionists like Claude Monet, Pierre- Auguste Renoir and Paul Signac. In music I prefer heavy genres like hard- and grindcore and punk- rock. This music gives me energy and strength to get through my day.

I don't know what awaits me in the future. I thought about doing something connected to my interests like literature, culture and history, but I doubt it will get me anywhere significant at all. My major goal is to go to a University and study something that would later allow me to go back home to Belgium and never return. 

So, to sum up all of this, I must say that I like to think that I see the world the way it is, without all the unicorns and rainbows. Life is tough, people other than yourself shouldn't be trusted, and the only way you'll get somewhere is if you work your way to your goals on your own. The only company I find joy in is the company of favorite characters. Their story lines guide me and give me strength.

Thank you for your time.

# the world as alina see it

I was born 15 years ago in February - the month which symbolizes the last attempt of winter to fight against the nature reborn.My fisrt discovering experiences were made under the cover of love - the magic feeling which were given to me by my mom,dad and relatives.I have learned how to talk so quickly so that's why I was as a "On-the-go radio" and according to my parents it was always so funny to listen to aline-chatterbox!

But I think it should be strange to talk a lot about the way i see the world - let Little Prince ("Le Petit Prince" - Antoine de Exupery)  try to substitute me a bit in this :

-   People where you live," the little prince said, " grow five thousand roses in one garden...    yet they 
                                                                       don't  find what they're looking for...      
-  They don't find it," I answered.

-  And yet what they're looking for could be found in a single rose, or a little water..."

-   Of course," I answered.

And the little prince added, "But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.” 

The world I live in is a big garden.We are flowers in it - and there is no simular ones - all the coulours and shapes are different.And what makes us grow and live?Water of love,sun of hope and wind of belief.Maybe Little Prince has whispered it to me once while I was sleeping but it does not matters - it is the way I concept the world and you could simply join me in it ...

If I was to fully decide, which topic to cover and how to cover it, i would most certainly skip the introduction of myself and just go straight to discussing the whatever is there to discuss. But if everyone else (I mean my classmates, who also write in this blog) has at least several sentences about themselves in their messages (or posts, however you want to call it), then i think i should do so too.

Well, I am Anton, born on fine day of 28th of july 97'. I am currently in a 10th grade, but this doesn't make a big difference, i guess. During my short life i experienced a lot of changes when it comes to views on the world, hobbies, my goals in life and so on. I think the only thing that stayed the same throughout the years is my love to rock music. It all began with me starting to listen to Coldplay and some softer Linkin Park songs and eventually evolved into my passion for such enegry-filled genres such as Post-Hardcore and Rapcore. Even now I am typing these letters on a laptop, listening to "Sometimes You're The Hammer, Sometimes You're The Nail" by A Day To Remember. Awesome band.

I think that my current interests would be reading (my love towards literature was inculcated in me by our literature teacher), playing football (I am a goalkeeper for our school team) and writing short stories or little poems (it is a great way of remembering thoughts and evolving your ideas).

It's quite difficult to express the way i see the world. But the difficulties i experience when answering this question occur not because my vision is so vague, but because of a completely opposite reason - the way i see the world can't be expressed in several sentences, it's a whole large system. I think it's right though - the world around us is an incredibly complex wonder, and we - humans - make it only more irrational and interesting, as every single one of us is unique (and yes, this phrase is overused) - we think differently, perceive differently, have different goals and life experience.

And so, to finish this little post, I'd like to quote "About Schmidt": "I guess we are pretty small on a big scale of things, so the best we can do is make a difference".

Thank you very much for your time.

Hello, my name is Marina, I’m 15. I study in gymnasium №45 in the 10^th form. I want to share some ideas on how I see the world. This topic is very big and I can discuss it all the time, but I would like to tell only those things which are more important for me.

I think that the world is ruled by profit and pragmatism of people. I know that there are a lot of people who don’t follow it, who would come to help you every moment you need a help. Unfortunately people like them could die easily, because they give all their happiness and kindness to others and in the end they are left with nothing. People who share happiness and kindness for some reason are very often unhappy.

The world is cruel, the world is a game where you should solve your problems only on your own. To solve problems you should always think about your next step, about public reactions, you, you should make a strategy to be the first. That’s why I think that profit and pragmatism rule the world.

Every person first of all thinks about his profit. For example, you want to make a new friend. You think you need more communication – this is your profit.

Another example. You are in a group of people. Now these people are arguing about music genres. You are sharing your opinion with them. You have your own interest: you need to be heard; maybe you want to change their opinion about you or you might want to prove our opinion.

The pragmatism rules the world. If you are a pragmatic you think about your next steps, you make plans and you know what to do in difficult situations. It is impossible to work out everything, but if you plan at least something you have more chances.

Unfortunately there are even more successful people than pragmatics, I’m talking about cynics. Life proves that they are very strong in getting their goals because they neglect all human feelings, respect and honesty.

This is how I see the world, but I don’t want to judge these people because this is another topic.

Hello, my name is Vlad and i am 16 years old.  I study at School 45 (10th grade now). To be truthful, i have never tried to write something in blog, the only thing i had was twitter, and it was ugliest twitter ever...
What can i say about our world and my world perception? How do i see it? Its a very difficult question. Its a pretty open subject.
But i will try. Ok, lets get it started.
My current location is Moscow, Russia. A couple of years ago i thought that it would be great to emigrate. For example, USA was a good alternative. Ive visited several countries since that moment. And now i understand that every country has lots of problems and it will be difficult, really difficult to change location..

Ok, what about my own future? What do i want to do? This question is some kind of banal, yes, but i havent found an answer yet. There are thousands of professions around the world suited to every fancy... but still, i dont know. Sometimes prospect of "wrong" job scaries me, but i hope i will make a right decision.

What about my life now? Sometimes i want to change my school, find new friends and do something new for me. But i see other schools and an education level there, and this wish disappears. I just dont see a good alternative. You can ask "why do you want to do this?''. The answer is that sometimes it is just a good experience. Maybe it could help me with my ''future choice'', maybe something else could happen.

So, what do i expect from my future life? There is one best way to describe it. When i will be some kind of 80 years old, i hope i wont have any regrets, and i will have a feeling, that my life was good and dignified. Life that worth living.

Thats how i see this world. Or just my world
