Conversation #2

Yesterday afternoon, we had a assignment about interview. We should interview people about their opinions about success. I stayed student center to find people to interview, the second person was in international affairs called Alex. He is local people and he is senior now. He worked in the international affairs. 

Maybe it was the second one, I had experience for the first. So I was not nervous about this. He was kind and always had smile, it reduce my nervous effective. He said he was the successful person, it surprised me. Because I couldn't believe it came up quickly, in my imagination, if the person said he wasn't a successful person then I can ask the following questions. However, that was OK. He gave me the standard of success. He thought he is happy everyday, he likes his job and he has own Friends. Also, he is healthy. I like this answer. It is a simple success, but not everyone can achieve it. It just about self. In addition, I asked him about the quote"Success is not having to describe what's been accomplished....others do it for you" (Deborah Hopkins). He said he loved this sentence, because the success just about the person who you are. Not regarding the accomplishments. I agree with his idea, we should think more about ourselves. This is different perspective of success.
This conversation gave me some thinking, for the future life, I cannot only put efforts on academic, I should put some effort on myself. What kind of person I want to be, what kind of lifestyle I want. These kinds of questions I should think more.
