A Reflection

I always like to set goals and make plans, but I have never completed any of my plans. Is it because I don't persevere? Just like how I always wanted to start a diary, tried multiple times but failed. I've subscribed to 2 courses in Coursera, it's a great website. But I didn't manage to finish my first course on python, so I really hope I can succeed in finishing these 2 courses. I'll probably use such MOOCs during NS as a way to prevent my intellect from becoming dull. There are many things I want to write about, but some I would like to keep to myself.

I was a good writer, I think. Well, I think people will laugh at me if I said that I used to write good compositions in primary school. But during that time, I could feel an impulse to write and that impulse sustained throughout my writing. “灵感” is what it's called. I could let my imagination run wild and just write. But after almost 6 years of writing argumentative and expository essays, I feel like I can no longer show my creativity in writing, which is rather sad. My favourite piece of writing was a short story on a frog called 蛙, it's pretty interesting how the chinese nobel literature prize laureate Mo Yan has a book called 蛙. (I should probably read the book soon). So the purpose for me to write now, is to retrace that “灵感”, and be able to write a story as imaginative as the one I wrote many years back.

I have many other things to do right now, I 'll come back and write more later.
