Nouns those describe about me: Time


(After day ends, there will be night, and after night ends, there will be day!)

The thing, which we all unanimously and equally own, but very differently use by each of us, is Time. If you ask me ‘how old am I?’ means that how much time I spent already. In other words, Time is Life.

One of the nouns, which concern with me, is TIME.

Some say that time is money. I agree with it for some points, but not for many points because there are many differences between the two. For example, we may be rich or poor in possession of money as each of us has different life pattern, idea, strength, skill, experience and so on and so forth. However, whether we are rich or poor, educated or not, fat or thin, tall or short, wherever, whatever, we all equally own time. The key difference is the way we regard of time; the way we use of time and the way we manage of time. Another example will be we all can find money in our own ways. Time comes to us itself, without we find. We can save money. We cannot save money. If we lose money, we can get it back, but we can never get time back after we passed it.

Personally, since I was young, I have been finding the way how to use my time by the most effective and productive way. I will say that till today, I do not know about it exactly yet.

My time means my life. One of the nouns, which describe me is, Time.

Nouns those describe about me: Books



I read books. I really like books. I absolutely believe in that because of books, our world has been developing from ice age to computer/Internet age of today.

One of the nouns, which concerns with me is BOOKS.

Books are always good friends. For me, for some reason, I just want to live in a place where is surrounding with books. Sometimes, it is not just for reading; I just enjoy with books. Probably, I was a librarian in one of my past lives or a worm or a bug who lived in books. I often get a little problem with my wife because my bringing books to home.

Any way, today, I watch a documentary/biography TV show at channel 11 about the Warner Brothers who are top movie makers in the world. Title of the show is “American Masters.” I love the title – “American Masters!” It is true. This title makes me to remember a book. Last year, I read a book, which was written about key inventions in 20th century. There were absolutely great inventions in twentieth century those create such better world that we are living today. Among all of those significant innovations of 20th century, American inventors’ contributed about 25 percent of all inventions. Americans invented from Aero Plane to Air Conditioning; from Electronic Washing Machine to the Self-service Super Market; from Power Steering to Traffic Light; from Nylon to Photocopier; from Barcode to Computer; from Microwave Oven to Transistor; from Solar Energy to Video Games, and so on. Great Contributions of Americans in Humanity!!! (I will write another specific article about those inventions sooner or later.)

My point here by is that– why Americans can make that huge amount of inventions? In my opinion, because of its freedom; free society of America! Americans can think, speak, read, write and create with freedom. That’s why Americans have been inventing such key innovations and generously contributing in Humanity! Because of those contributions, our world is moving forward speedily, smoothly and more conveniently for all of us. Special thanks to those Masters!

Any way, I read, like and love books. Books are always my best friends. One of the nouns that describe is Books!

Nouns those describe about me: School



In a Longman dictionary of American English, the meanings of ‘school’ are – ‘a place where children are taught,’ ‘to train or teach someone,’ and ‘schooling means ‘education at school.’ Basically, we learn something at ‘School.'

Since then, a noun, which is very concern with me, is ‘SCHOOL.’

I was/am a student. I was a teacher who taught ‘math’ ‘English’ and ‘History’ to sixth, seventh, and eighth graders at a State Middle School in Burma. My children are studying at school and it is just beginning. They all will be learning for long time at school/s.

Not only that, life is a school itself. I feel or I believe in that I learn something everyday whether from past or from present. I learn how to live in a meaningful life or what are true values of our lives from the Buddha. When I was young, I learned how to pay respect to the elders from my ancestors’ culture. When I was in high school and university, I learned how to more fear than respect to the authorities. In Thailand, I learned the meanings of ‘legal’ and ‘illegal.’

In the United States, I learn the meaning of ‘leadership’ from George Washington. I learn the harmonious form between ‘faith’ and ‘hope’ from Lincoln. I learn how to change ‘useless’ to ‘useful’ from Eisenhower. I learn how to overcome barriers from FDR. I learn the meaning of ‘free society’ from JFK. I learn ‘human rights’ from Eleanor Roosevelt. I learn the meaning of ‘discrimination’ from Dr. King. I learn what does ‘democracy’ and ‘freedom’ mean from Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. I learn slight difference between ‘offense’ and ‘defense’ from the Bushes. I learn the difficulties and how to deal with them between ‘before’ and ‘after’ from Obama.

In daily life, I am also learning many things even from my kids, such as how to be tolerant, patient and approach to teach. Life is full with learning processes itself from physically to spiritually. Life is school.

Hence, ‘SCHOOL’ is one of the nouns, which describe about me!

Nouns those describe about me: Love



In this fall, one of the classes, which I am going to take, has an interesting assignment. According to that assignment, I have to write nouns those describe about me. Here are the noun series those are / will be telling about me.

The first noun, which concerns with me, is LOVE.

There are several kinds of love. My first kind of love is for everybody. I love everybody; all human beings; all animals; all seen or unseen; all short or tall; all fat or thin; all near or far; and so on. This love is formed in compassion. Even to those who make trouble matters for me, I always try to forgive and make a wish to be in good mood and clear mind in that person soon, but not for his or her trouble. I just wish them to make sense by themselves and to me as well, with mutual respect, recognition, and clear sense. I also regard all animals just like we are, in terms of biological lives, not in terms of intelligence or wisdom or creations or ethic etc.

My second kind of love is for my family and friends. It is simply and just like everybody does, I love my family, friends, coworkers, and so on.

Third kind of love is for my country, my people, the world and all people in the world. I love my native land, Arakan. I love Arakanese people since all my ancestors were Arakanese. I love America where my truly free life was born, my wife and all my children were born and the place that gives every single human being equal opportunity and equal freedom. In my belief and opinion, America gives the highest values of human being to every single person. (I am ready to talk or discuss with any body about my belief.) I also love Burma. I also love our world. In my opinion, the world is formed perfect itself. We have all kinds of natures, nurtures, nations and nationalities, and animals with all colors in different biological terms. It is just lovely and perfects itself, unless we, human beings take it/them into our own beliefs, perceptions and feelings. I really wish that all human beings in the world to have at least a college degree, than it will lead to be better world with less criminal actions.

My fourth kind of love is for my lovers, like my wife. Before I got marriage with my wife, I had at least twelve lovers through out my single life at many places and in many conditions. I was a student, a teacher, a small and private bookshop owner, a merchant, a soldier, a bookkeeper, an illegal worker, a politician, an editor, etc. Since then, I had many girlfriends. Some of them fall in love with me just by phone, writing letters, chats and kind of kisses, while some of them reached for the stage of intimacy. But I do have faith with my wife and my marriage. I might look intently at beautiful girls and women but it does not mean I will approach them to make love or to become lovers. They are beautiful and lovely, so I look at them, I see them. I feel nothing is wrong with it as an ordinary human being. If I am a monk or a somewhat person alike, my control with my ten sensitive windows (two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, mouth, butt, penis and my speedily running around mind itself) will be different.

Any way, LOVE is one of my very concern nouns those describe about me!
