The First Step Ain't Easy
The first step made by a toddler is always a challenge, and now i felt the same feeling rushing and filling up inside me. The anxiety level and millions of things that jammed up my brain are making it worse.
Before this, i talked about my desire to use the novel "Tuesdays With Morrie" by Mitch Albom as the main source for my thesis. Therefore, i have generated some issues to work on which have to do with two words; meaningful life and materialism. Morrie's last few months of living was spent on contributing to others his most precious time, hoping to bring an awakening in oneself about the actual meaningfulness found in life. His perspective in living life meaningfully will be considered as idleness or almost insanity for the world we lived in today but still when we take some moment and sit down to think it over, what he strongly hold onto is nothing but the truth.
People will always pursue for material things and reach out for their unfulfilled dreams. During the process, they tend to forget about the relationship between human being and the nature, and on top of all, they get oblivious of the existence of love.
To a certain extent, we couldn't help but to pursue for physical comfortness such as food, home, education and self-fulfillment but we as human being are obtuse to the word "enough". We simply couldn't stop ourselves from wanting more, and this is what Morrie tends to remind us about; frugality will be able to let you pursue richer experience in life itself

First Impression on Project Paper in EDU 3234
In today's lecture, the lecturer, Dr. Malachi Edwin Vethamani came into class and gave us a long briefing regarding to our oncoming tasks in this course. Basically, i am not very sure of what to do but i am definitely feeling the chills running through my spine, as if telling me that i have only 2 options to choose from; either surviving with a satisfactory result or die with shame by the end of this course.
Of course, i am always the first option person, and therefore i am still, like usual, giving my best throughout this course, hoping to gain borderless experience and achieving the grade which i deserve.
Although i am oblivious of what , how or where to get the inspiration for starting my position paper, still, i am now trying my best to surf the net, hoping to get some ideas and guidelines.
Nevertheless, i did generated an idea for the starting point in my research paper or position paper which has to do with the prescribed novel written by Mitch Albom; "Tuesdays with Morrie" which deals with the value of live. Maybe i'll make a research based on the writer's use of certain theme for the books he has written hitherto.
