Journal Entry 34: Negative

            People meet obstacles along their way of life. No one has a perfect life of always winning and being lucky, and everything works out for them. There must be a time when you don't be that lucky an meet obstacles and negative experiences rather than the positive experiences. I strongly believes that a negative experience can be a good thing because someone can learn from the experience and never do the wrong thing again, they can learn from mistakes. And also, there must be negative experiences in order to have positive ones, if you don't have a negative experience, how can you define a positive experience? Such an experience can influence who we are in many ways. The negative experiences can make us learn, and next time, we won't do it again. And also, people see negative experiences, then we know who we want to be and who we don't want to be. My sister has a positive influence on me. She studies hard and talks in a very polite manner. And that is what I have to learn from her or already learned from. Some of my friends, on the other hand, is a negative experiences for me. They don't do their homework, speak too much bad words, and don't respect other people. And by looking at them, I promise myself I will never do that. So they let me see what not to be in life. I think my sister, which is the positive experience, has a bigger impact because I am more like my sister than my bad friends.
