Ranbindranath Tagore and Friedrich Nietzche who I read their phrase for many years ago.I like many phrases they wrote.now I am think of a phrase from Tagore but I don`t know how to translate in the best way.because I have read Nietzche in tradsitional chinese and simple chinese.but it bring me different feeling.

I try a bit "You see a wrong world but you say it cheating you".

when I read at first time.I was much moved by it.but now I can not feel it.so Do you believe it exist in your mind?why It touched my heart even you have not got the content?why I can not write a beautiful phrasenow.just some shit?so there are many people analysis poem phrase.it`s funny is not it?

My favorite is one that I wrote some time ago on my MSN personal message. I don't know if I heard someone saying that, if I read it anywhere or if it just came out of my mind, but it really expresses what I feel sometimes… Ok, here it goes:

"NOTHING IS FAIR IN AN UNFAIR WORLD

That's it folks!

My favourite sentence  is :Words can't bring you down,what you belive is true.

The sentence comes from two of my favourite English songs,and I join them together.I think life doesn't always go my own way,I just have to be strong ,never lose my passion for dreams.no matter what they say,no matter what they tell us,I don't care.
