[Book Take Away] Farmer Boy

This book talks about an American Farmer Almanzo Wilder's childhood. I am very fond of the American way of life. I love the way the American people value freedom and above everything else. This book talks about many of American values. From this book I have learnt a quite a few things
a. Some people would put being free above everything else. That's why some people want to be a farmer. They won't like to be depended on other people. Even if that would cause them more works to do, they would have to depend on their weather and land and they might have to wake up a night to see if their cattle is freezing or not. Some people would not put their decisions to other people.
b. The way farmers break their colt and their oxen can be applied to day to day life. A farmer would be very careful about a young horse. They make sure that they are not startled when they are young. If you trouble a horse when it is young, it will be habituated for disobedient and will be a spoiled horse.
c. It is not good to put a huge amount of load to a Ox in the beginning. Because initially if they fails, they will always tend to give up.
d. We need to let choose people what they want to be in life or what they want to be. This is exactly what Almanzo Wilder's parents did.
e. We need to be frugal and not to waste money on things that we don't want. We cannot be lazy and waste time on unnecessary stuffs.
f. Like a good farmer we need to be prepared for future. 

[Philosophy] Walking Alone

I love to walk alone. This gives me a chance to reflect on a problem or think about something, on the least it lets my brain sometime to process some information. It becomes tempting sometimes to walk with someone else. I have found this, walking with someone else almost always makes me unhappy. Most of the time it is because I say mostly unnecessary things. It makes me sad later, I keep thinking why I have said those unnecessary things in the first place.

Next time when I am tempted to walk with someone, I need to remember these

0. I will almost be unhappier after the walk.
1. I will most likely say something that I will feel sorry inside me.
2. I would not get a chance for reflection.

I should walk alone whenever possible. When I am talking, I am not walking.
