First of all i want to adknowledge
your hard work. I loved your video, it is indeed as you say, from an outside pesrpective it is a great experience, but from your own it might change to something you are used to. That happens offtenly with everyone. As soon as we acomplish something we want more and we do not feel satisfied. In my opinion that is GREAT. We should not limit ourselves at all. There are so many things in this world that we could do that would benefit others and ourselves. Do not give up on living BoBo even during tough times. ;)

As i was reading her blog i noticed that our point of view is not that different. Bao Lin actually thinks the same way about life as i do. Although there are meaningful and meaningless things in her life she focuses more in the present, but the strong emotional aspects of her past still affect her.

Anime is for the win win win. Love your video, and the song sounds somewhat like the main theme of sen to chihiro...doesn't it?By the way i would like to talk to you about your answers. Whenever you have time, let me know.
Cheers

Jia Min's way of life is understandable. I know sufficient of what she has been through and the source of her opinion in life. Or so i believe i do. I would like to learn more about her personality so i can have a better idea of an American way of life, even if she was not even born in here. So as with Andy. I find it interesting, the statement "american born chinese." In my opinion i do not really like that statement because of my own perspective, but then again it is just my opinion.

Hi Julie I like your video because you showed like random clips and pictures of people in school living their normal lives. In my opinion i see that their actions play a big part in your life so does your family.

I find Julie's life meaningful in a different way than mine, it is however, significant to her because her daily life affects her even more that what is usually expected making her life meaningfully. I would like to know more about her anaylisis on her own video to make a clearer conncetion.

Hi Kyle
*SC is ftw*
Whoa, you wrote too much ^^
I find your perspective of life really different from mine. Most of the people just wait for something to happen and hope it is something that would positively change their lives without doing something about it.I think you should change your point of view. That will save you so much time you have ahead in your life. You are who you are and that is something no one can take away from you, but if you are not happy with yourself, change your mind.
cheers

It is common for people to feel limited, but i am willing to make them think differently. I just feel that it is possible to change a point of view completely even my own. I have done it before. Media (pop culture) has a strong influence on society, and society adopt's the "Media's" opinion as their own and live up to Media's expections.

A Free mind is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.

~After reading other people's blogs...~
I noticed how other people (ages 16-18 years old) have certain and specific people or things that are primarly present in their lives. For example, many of them had their friends and family as the most meaningful aspect in ther lives, which, from my persepective i could easily relate to them. Others have personal entretaiment or hobbies, such as video games or skateboarding that are identified as the most meaningful aspect. For this specific assigment, there was no right or wrong answer, but i could not help to notice that people choose what its meaningful to them based on how they are "shaped". Those who grwe up relatively close to their families and easily grew friendships with people they could identify themselves with have family and friends as their most important aspect. Growing up being "distant" (not necessarily from society over all, but those around you) find personal interests as their most meaningful aspect. These are some of the two examples of where the answer to "what is meaningful in your life?" breaks down into. There are many other conclusions or analysis that could identify other patterns on what people find as meaningful. Also based on the analysis other people made, it shows that their answers are very similar to what their video showed. They stood on what they believed what was the right meaning of life to them, and they would continue on relating every action/decision based on what they believe is important.
One of them said "taking everything that happens to us in daily life as an experience of our life that will help us to "grow up" or learn something new every day"
demontrates that my analysis over how do people come to decide what is meaningful occurs. Most of the people live their daily lives not expecting to "gain" anything new or unusual that has not been experienced before. They do not realize that coming across new people, or reading a new advertisment with change their perspectives from what they originally were. These changes are usually not shown becayse people base everything they SEE on past thoughts, emotions, analysis, senses, etc. that were once shapped as they were growing up. Gaining new information about anything is a change on yourself, but people keep thinking that they are living the same eveyday without nothing happening in their lives.
