Tan's Happiness

In my understanding, screen time means the amount of time that people spend on the screen, whether it is a television, smartphone or computer. Being able to know my own screen time helps me remind myself for the amount of time that I spend on the screen, thereby, I can restrain my self not to spend too much time on my phone or my computer. Screen time can be harmful to both physical and mental health. It will make our eyes dry, which eventually will lead to blurry vision, eye strain, and irritation. Even worse, these symptoms can lead to headaches and stress as well. In terms of mental health, spending too much time on the screen can lead to depression, anxiety or some of the psychological issues. In addition, there are some studies that showed that more hours of daily screen time are correlated with less interest, more difficulty with relationships, less emotional endurance, and less ability to complete tasks. I totally agreed that children today are growing up with more sc...

What is my dream? Hmm. I have not decided anything about my future yet. However, in the future, I want to create my own business and earn a lot of money from it, so I can take care of myself and my family. Moreover, if I succeed in my business, I want to open a minimal café in Japan and have many cats staying in my café. Success for me is that I do not need to receive a monthly salary from my parents and lighten the load from them. Moreover, I want to do the job that I really interested in, and I must be able to provide the time for my family. In other words, success is freedom, having freedom means that I can do anything and go anywhere at any time as I want and without making my parents worry about me. I have always questioned myself that studying Business Economics will help me pursue my dreams or not. However, I believe that if I put my effort into everything that I do, I will achieve my goals and my dream will come through. In fact, creating a business, we must have the m...

If I have to decide the thing that illustrates my country to the world wide exhibition, I will proudly choose Tom Yum Kung as a representation of Thailand. Tom Yum Kung is a well-known Thai dish that shares the taste of spicy, sour, and sweet. Also, Thai herb, the main ingredients of Tom Yum Kung have the medicinal properties and can only be founded in South East Asia. The first reason is that Tom Yum Kung is a unique Thai food that combined all three flavors, such as spicy, sweet, and sour which makes this dish is the best in Thailand. Besides, the origin of Tom Yum Kung's main ingredients are only can be founded in Thailand; they are lemongrass and kaffir lime which is the well-known Thai herb.

Lemongrass and kaffir lime have ...

In this day and age, technology has become the most important factor in human life. However, using technology can be harmful to the environment. Many technologies consume a lot of resources because the way we manufacture them can create pollution, especially air pollution.  I never heard of this before, but I had searched from the internet. In my understanding, Cambridge Analytica is a company that formed in England, and the target of this company is helping politicians to win the election. This company held millions of Facebook users’ private information, and they can use this information to increase the number of voters. Moreover, in 2016 the election in the USA, Donald Trump hired this company to help him win the election against Clinton, and he had achieved his goal to become a president in the USA. In my perspective, I do not think that technology has created a gap between family and friends; instead, it helps us to stay in touch with them.  Participate in a...

Indeed, learning in school is not enough for us to live in the real world, we should have experiences from the outside world as well. In this essay, I will compare and contrast the differences in gaining knowledge from experiences and books. And In my perspective, the knowledge that we learn for our experiences is the most important thing. The knowledge from books gives us a strong and sufficient foundation for us to broaden our imagination and ideas to use in the future. Likewise, gaining knowledge from books is like learning from someone else's experiences, it is the knowledge that we learn from other's success, which I think is not enough for us. However, books are still important. For example, as a doctor, of course, they must study hard by reading medical books and many important theories before they perform real experience. Therefore, in order to become an expert with the proper experience, gaining knowledge from books is necessary. In contrast, by gaining knowledge f...

Mostly, I use social media to entertain myself, for example, watching some videos on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. I only use it to contact close people and following my friends’ lives, so I do not have any negative relationship with social media at all.  Being online does not change any of my performing and personalities. However, we must know what appropriate or not appropriate to post or show something online. In my view, some famous people must pretend to be someone else in order to get a reputation from people, so they must create a new character to make viewers enjoy and happy. In my perspective, social media makes people get closer. When people live far away from each other, for instance, living in different countries. Social media can help you to contact your family and friends instantly from long distance.  Social media has an influence on people’s behavior, which will lead them to social addiction. You can see people always play with their smartphones while le...
