Old and New Generations

My parents expected me to become a useful person in the future so that I can contribute to the society and let them have more glory. They wanted me to study hard and work hard in order to achieve good results. They also expected me to do well in all areas, especially acedemic.

However, when I grow up, I expect my child to do well to and want him to be an all-rounded person. I will send him for special course, such as piano playing and etc. I might also expect him to have a clear mind of what wrong and what is right. I also expected him to do well in his subjects as well as sports.

I think there are not much difference in expectations between my parents and I. It's probably because I am influenced by my parents but I think my expectations of my child might change as I grow up.

Book review

Title: The Process of Aging
Author: Louis George Alexander

Summary: At the age of twelve years, the human body is at its most vigorous. It has yet reach its full size and strength but at this age the likelihood of death is least. Earlier, we are infants and young children and consequently more vulnerable; later, we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigor and resistance which, though imperceptible at first, will finally become so steep that we can live no longer, no matter how well we look after ourselves, however well the society. This decline in vigor with the passing of time is called aging

Feeling: I think this book tell us a lot of things, such as the knowledge of aging and how to appreciate the time before we start to age. I think this book is very interesting and I have gained much knowledge from it.
