My parent's hard work.

Dear Diary, 

        I was thinking about something today while we had a free period. I was thinking that we coming to Canada and all that has happened till now I have started being independent a lot, I have started taking care of my studies myself, I have started to take initiative to clean my room, try eating new things like subway, pizza, etc. Which in a way mom feels worried about maybe because she doesn't trust me enough to take care of myself, for example a few days ago I had started losing some weight all of a sudden and mom got worried about it. 

But my main question was that if I didn't get the correct teachings from my parents I wouldn't stand a chance in this country. For example if my dad didn't teach me about moral values I wouldn't have any friends because over here friendship is actually being friends rather than being just friends for namesake. Then my mom inserted the meaning of being a good human being, to being respectful to other people and being kind also. But most important one that both of them did was giving me a lifestyle which was both easy and beneficial for me. I sometimes miss old friends from India but when I look back I don't have the will to go back and stay in India, maybe because I have changed from what I was before I came here. Another thing how my dad helps me is by sending me inspirational stuff through gmail. For example today he sent this to me.

Further, my characterization of a loser is someone who, after making a mistake, doesn’t introspect, doesn’t exploit it, feels embarrassed and defensive rather than enriched with a new piece of information, and tries to explain why he made the mistake rather than moving on. These types often consider themselves the “victims” of some large plot, a bad boss, or bad weather. Finally, a thought. He who has never sinned is less reliable than he who has only sinned once. And someone who has made plenty of errors—though never the same error more than once—is more reliable than someone who has never made any.” 
― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder 

And that is what helps me, by drilling things that I don't understand in my brain through persistence. 

Today I asked a few of my friends what they do on the internet, and I have been hearing this answer for a while, you know what it was, same old video games and listening to songs, etc. and I felt kind of nice because I write a blog everyday and thus improve my writing skills and all that stuff but most importantly:

                       I write because I like to write!
