Finding Love-Ai Matsuno


 Personally, I think a balanced approach works best and both ways have merits and demerits. I prefer finding love in real life. It is because it often leads to deeper and more natural connections, eliminates pressure and expectations, and encourages personal growth and self-improvement rather than chasing a relationship. 

 However, it has some challenges. Compared to finding partners online, it might take longer to meet someone special and your meeting is limited to people within one’s existing social circles. You have less control over the timing of finding love.Love isn’t always something you can force, but it also doesn’t always just "happen" by accident.

 For example, joining activities that related to your interests—like a book club, sports team, or volunteer group—can increase the chances of meeting like-minded people naturally while avoiding the pressure of traditional dating. At the same time, being open to online dating can widen your opportunities.

 In the end, love often comes when you're ready for it, whether you actively seek it or let it find you.

    I agree with you because when we don't seek love, we tend to dismiss the possibility of love even when it is there.

    I really like your idea of joining activities to meet people naturally! But in my case, I tend to stay quiet and end up relying on dating apps instead. Haha. By the way, I’m really glad to be in the same class as you. You’re such a kind and lovely person!"

    I am impressed with this sentence "In the end, love often comes when you're ready for it, whether you actively seek it or let it find you."

    I like the expression "Love comes when you are ready for it." Some people I know believe God brought their partner into their life at just the right time. They prayed that He would provide them with a life partner & found that He did indeed do so when they were ready to be a caring and responsible partner.

Finding Your Passion & Making It Your Job

Emma Rosen suggests asking yourself 3 questions to help clarify what kind of work you should do. They are "What skills do you want to be using at work?" -- Do you like to lead a team, write or solve problems? "What do you want to get out of work?" -- It could be the chance to change the world or to enjoy variety or, say, autonomy in the workplace -- and "What kind of working environment would you prefer?" -- Do you want to work in an office or outdoors, for a big company or start your own? How about you? Respond to Emma's 3 questions in this post. Emma also suggests it is important to do multiple work placements in a range of careers. That way you can choose a job based on knowledge and experience rather than assumptions, hearsay and expectations. Is this something you would like to try? If so, how could you make it happen? Emma characterises herself as a wide achiever rather than a high achiever and suggests that the 'portfolio career' where o...

  I disagree the result of personal test which I am assessed as innovator. I don’t see myself as imaginative, sociable and sympathetic. I like to talking, but I rarely start conversations myself. I also disagree that I assessed as creative, I think creative person act out of line, but I behave as a normal people and have not professionality anything. I only agree with that I am assessed as rebellious. I used to don’t follow what teacher says in school. I did what I wanted to do freely.

  I totally agree with this result. I think one of my strengths is being conscientious and mature. I always care about other people’s feelings and try to see things from different perspectives. This result also says that I tend to avoid conflict, which is true because I don’t like trouble or arguments with others. I try to avoid them as much as possible, even if it means enduring something unpleasant. However, I know that avoiding conflict is not always a good thing and sometimes doesn’t lead to productive outcomes.  If I had to disagree with one point, it would be that others take advantage of me. I’ve never felt that way. If I realized that someone was trying to take advantage of me, I would make sure to express my opinion clearly.
