Secrets...

I guess I was never good at keeping secrets. I don't see myself as the kind of person who could really hold a secret. Granted, I have hold and I am holding secrets now, but I feel that I cannot hold a secret unto my last day on earth. I feel that one day, maybe if I can have the privilege to live up to my golden years, I might right a book that will uncover every secret that has ever touched my life along with my life's story.My family has never really trusted my with a deep secret because they fear that I might just spill the beans one day. Personally, I feel that I can keep secrets if I have to but I know that I can't keep them forever.

The Secret....

I had once had a friend who told me he was using drugs (mostly marijuana) during our middle school years. It shocked me because he was so young and through my own personal experience( I have a family member who abused the drug), I knew firsthand the negative effects the drug can have on the user and the people around him. He told me to keep it a secret from his family and I agreed because I was naive and he was my friend. Well to keep a long story short, a couple of years later, he was busted smoking the stuff at High school and he was eventually expelled since that's a major offence in the public school system. Unfortunately his family kicked him out of the house for a while and he was homeless for a couple of days. Needless to say the truth came out there and the secret nearly ruined his chances at a acedemic career but thankfully he was able to recover from it and he stopped smoking the drug.The point of my story is that that a secret can never be a secret forever, a secret will always come out if you search for it or in my friends case, if you abuse it at school. The truth will come out someway.

Epic Fails that bite off your nails

Well, I feel that I have always make intellectual mistakes. Sometimes I think that I'm right and most of the time I'm just plain wrong. For example, whenever I take the RATS for the "How we Know..." class, I think I might know the answer on a current event or issue but most of the time its either false or I guessed it right. Sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong but that's the way it is in the world of acedemia, sometimes your right and sometimes your wrong because you are never fully sure of anything as a student. Although I do make a lot of intellectual mistakes I feel that as a human being I am never going to stop being a student. As long as I learn from my mistakes then I feel I'm doing fine in my acedemic and intellectuall life.

I try my hardest to be as clear as possible when it comes to communcation. I can't really state when I misuse my communcation but I can state that if I ever did then I would try my best to quickly to clearify if I'm aware of it or if someone points it out to me. As I stated before in the first blog, unless theirs a reason for the message to be ambigous or murky then a comuncator should be as clear as possible when communcating with their audience. I feel that if its unintentionally murky then the communicator has failed at his or her job.

As far as other cultures and nations, I defintiely agree that communication can be blurred. For example, the language and culture of chinese and japanese are different but they use the same tools to cummicate such as computers and phones, the communication lines can be blurred when they are communicationg together. The same may be said for countries such as the United States and England (Great Britian), two countries that basically have the same language but have different cultures and lifestyles. I believe that the best solution for these nations and/or cultures is to be respectful of each other and be as clear as possible. One must know when to communcate and how to communcate properly. I guess the best solution would be to impose Communication manners on everyone from a young age so future generations can be misccommunication free.
