Philosophy in life: “Do unto others, what you want others do unto you… Don’t do to others, what you don’t want others do unto you…” and “The only triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing…” I live with these guiding principle and I know that every person reacts to what you show them. If you smile at people even if you don’t know them, they will smile back in return. Just like what elders say, “Respect begets Respect.” And lastly, the only time that evil can win over the world is for us good men to let that happen. I won’t let that happen. My good deeds may not be enough for me to change the world but the world needs every good deed we can do.
