    Nov 19 2011: I am happy but I am scared to speak loudly it.Cause according to lots of people, being happy is not very easy.but despite of everyting,people should smile for making better world :) we must think that 'we are breathing now and we are a lucky person.' I want to tell an aphorism to you. ''Today is the first day of the rest of your life'' so we can consider ourselves lucky for tonight. GOOD NIGHT

      Nov 19 2011: i really like your statement stipulates that "we are breathing now and we are a lucky person.", that's really true. However, if we ever think we were on a really pathetic condition, just believe that there are still lots of people who have less fortunate compared to us, and we're lucky to have a condition like now :) just grateful.

      Regards,
      Andra
