He would never realize the truths of how meats grew from until Morpheus, a bull, appears in his life.

For years, big corporations cultivate meats by adding all kinds of hormones to their bodies, polluting environments, and sorting living space of live stocks in order to expand their profits.  Neo was chosen to be the one who can discover and save the reality of the Meatrix.

       Are we living in The Matrix? If the world we are living is a fake from somewhere, and our disbursements and happiness don’t have any impacts to our futures, will we still strive for goods? In the movie “The Matrix,” the protagonist, Neo, could not recognize the truth in what is real in his life and who he is. Later on, he was found by Morpheus and his crew to be the person who can distinguish appearance from reality and help the human rebellion. Significantly, Neo choose the red pill to discover the reality of the matrix. Thus, the competition between their crew and agents began in the matrix.

       If I were Neo, I would also choose the red pill, to discover the real world whether it is painful or pleasant instead of having a constant life, because everyone can only experience his or her life once. Having a positive attitude can make our one-time life meaningful and happy. Otherwise, if we choose not to fight with the difficulties when we are awaking, we are nothing difference as dust in our earth.

       As human beings, we all have different thoughts, feeling, beliefs and opinions about the various aspects of our lives. The attitudes we hold have a direct impact on our ability to succeed. Therefore, having a positive attitude plays an important role in achieving our goal. For example, the previous CEO of Apple company, Steve Jobs, faced hundred times of failures before he succeeded Apple. He was adopted by his parents when he was a boy, then he dropped his college to create his business. During the road of success, cancer comes to him along with the company’s collapse and liabilities. However, he finally overcomes the troubles by keeping a good attitude and confidence in self. Eventually, he succeeds himself and owns rich experiences in life. In another word, if we choose not to chase our goal and freedom, we won’t have a memorable life experience just like him. Suffering makes our life beautiful.

       In addition, I can always taste the pleasure after the long way of chasing. For example, I once have traveled the seacoast of South China by riding bike with my best friends, the total distances of the trip is 200 miles. Despite the feelings that other people had about our crazy plan, we had already headed on the way. When we were riding on the road along the seacoast, the music from the sea, the fresh air and beautiful sea color offered a backdrop for a powerful shift in perception. At that moment, I felt my energy shift and I noticed my thoughts had changed. If we hadn’t discovered the adventure, I wouldn’t have enjoyed that refreshing moment and found the meaning of life. Enjoying our life and never give up.

       The attitues we hold in life has a direct impact to our fates, there is not ways to prevent ourself encountering difficulties in life. However, we can overcome them by holding a positive attitue and working hard. Whether we are living in the matrix or not,  life still goes on. Let’s keep overcoming with troubles in our life, thus, we will have meaningful life.

In the article “The Dangers of Reality TV,” the author, Timothy Sexton, indicates the negative consequences of“Reality TV” to young generations. Reality TV sends the wrong perception of views in life which directs young generations to the wrong ways. According to the dangerous messages from Reality TV, living in society becomes a competition in engaging with each other, image becomes more important than ability. What’s more, it also states that education is completely useless in succeeding our dreams.

I believe that education is the power of human resource, because education gains our knowledge to make our life wealthy. Additionally, with wealthy knowledge, we can also achieve our goals. Several evidences are addressing below.

            According to the research from “Money” magazine, in average people who have bachelor degree have $35,000 income per year. In contrast with $25,000 of people who hold high school diploma. Obviously, the level of education plays an important role in succeeding in this competitive society. With the development of socialization, we have entered 21^st century. The 21^st century is a period of education and technology. For instance, the successes of Apple Company and Microsoft have demonstrated the importance of education. Many employees of these successful companies have high education background. With education, we would have infinite creativities to make our dreams happen.

            What’s more, education not only gives us money but a way to gain our soul. A wise person once said that education is the power of human resource. I strongly agree with this opinion. Life is not always like the way we expected, we may fail ourselves after encountered difficulties. However, we would realize that we actually grow up and become stronger after failures. As an example from the famous scientist Tomas Edison, he has failed thousand times of examinations before he eventually invented the light bulb, which is the most well-known and useful invention in modern world. He believed that one cannot succeed his or her goals in one step. Therefore, the opinion from reality TV about the obsolescence of education is non-sense and incorrect. The real purpose of education is to teach people how to learn from difficulties.

            In conclusion, we now realize the importance of education. With knowledge, we will have a bright future, and we will find ways to overcome difficulties.
