What will you tell when I ask you about "your group"? 

And what will you tell when I ask you about "their group"? 

Most people will say only the good about themselves and bad about the others.

But.. Have you ever think how it can possibly happen? And why do people usually think positively about themselves but negatively about others??

Everyone can notice differences and similarities among others, and then they classify themselves. We may even don't realize that we classify ourselves, but it really happen! Just remember how many times you think that you are better than the others. I think classifying is why people think that they are the best and the others are not. It is also the reason why stereotypes emerge. 

Stereotype is one's idea about someone because of they belong to one group. It can be harmful when the people are too fanatical to their group. 

What can we do to get rid or it?

It's true that we're all different. But differences make perfect! We have to put in our mind that everyone's just the same! All of us have the same rights, to do what we wanna do, and also to be loved. Here's one thing that I learn from a song lyric: "It don't matter if you're black, white or yellow, if your brown or red. Let's get down to that, love is color-blind. You're my brother, you're my friend, all that matters in the very end is to understand love is color-blind"

See? We have to understand that the right way to see people is not from their physical appearance. We have to see their behavior to understand what they are really like. Never judge a book by it's cover!

If I have a chance to travel around the world, my choice is to have a safari adventure in Africa. I want to go there since I was a child. I love animals, and I'd love to go there for I really want to see the wild animals in their natural habitat. It sounds so great and challenging! I really love it!  :)

For the adventure is to hot sunny place, the top 10 things that I have to bring is:

1. hat, to protect my head from the sun
2. sunblock, to protect skin from being burned
3. sunglasses, to make me see clearly in the hot place
4. first aid kid, in case i have an injury in a remote place
5. camera, to take some pictures to memorize
6. laptop, to connect to my friends and family when i miss them
7. money
8. visa
9. passport
10. ID card, of course

I really want to bring many things with me when I'm not home, but may be the most important thing that I always bring anywhere I leave my home is a camera. I love to take pictures when I go to a new place. Especially when I go to a beautiful place, or when I go with someone special. Photographs provide us with great memories. When I see again those pictures I took in the past, they always remind me about that moment, and it's really fun to see those pictures again and again. besides that, it can  sometimes makes me laugh when there's a picture which is taken accidentally and the snapshot is really funny.

I think showing some pictures is a good way to tell anyone else about my life stories too, and  I can also tell my children in the future about my life clearly by showing those pictures.
