He who loses money losses much. He who loses a friend losses more. But he who loses faith loses all.” By Henry H. Haskins. This is how much I think faith is important. I have faith in my friends and family, and also myself. I believe in faith.

I have faith in my friends. It is because I want them to trust me too. If I don’t have faith in my friends, I think they won’t either. I have faith that they will tell me the truth. So I will tell them the truth too. Without faith, I think there is no true friendship.

I have faith in my family. I know that they will support me when I need support. And of course I want them to have faith in me that I will support them when they need help. Without faith, my parents wouldn’t let me live alone right now and I wouldn’t be able to live by myself without worries. I believe all families have faith in each other.

I have faith in myself. If I don’t have faith in myself, I don’t think I can make my desires and dreams come true. I have to think that I can make my dream come true. There is a saying like this “If you think you can win, you can win. Faith is necessary to victory.”By William Hazlitt. I think this is true.

I think faith is necessary in our daily life. Without faith, you will be living alone without anyone’s help. That is very sad. I hope you have faith in your friends and family too.

Do you proper to work alone or with friends? I believe in cooperation. I have a simple reason. I think people can’t live alone.

For example, when we feel down, we listen to music. Music makes ours happy, and I think music helped people. Some times I was helped by music too. But when I feel down, my family and my friends are always helped me. They helped my more deeply mind. They listen to my trouble, and they laughed with me, so they give me power!

Second, when we made something, we can’t make alone. For example when we make a musical, we need cooperation. Actors, Orchestra, staff, lighting and director… They are making with cooperation. We can’t make alone. When I on staged a musical, we can make to good stage because we cooped. We are sure to make up in cooperation with people.

Finally, I live by myself, but I can live by myself because my parents and my friends cooperated with me. My parents give me allowance. They are supporting me. They give me E-mail and call me often. And they said, if you need support, we support you! I am helped their kindness and support. And then I think I will continue need their cooperation.

My family, my friends and people have always helped me, and they are cooperated me! If they are not cooperation, we can’t to do anything, so I believe in cooperation!

I learned human kindness by their cooperation.

I believe the hope. I think all people have the hope. Then hope for peace, life, love and future etc. There are many kinds of the hopes. If we do not have the hope, we can do nothing, and we will be sent trivial life.

First when I was a high school student, I belonged to karate club. Of course I did many games. I always have the hope that I will win the games. I think this is part of the hopes. The hope gave me rising up motivaton.

Second I have a dream since I was a elementary school student. It is police woman. But it is not enough my tall. But I could not give up the dream. I can not become police woman,but I can become police officer!! Then I though. And the hope gave me continue different dream. About this, I have the hope that I will come true in the future. So now I study hard in the university to my dream. Recently I look forward to imagine my future.

I think the hope is good. Maybe best thing. And no good thing ever dies. In addition, I have heard this poetry “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them” by Walt Disney. If there is no hope, then people lose the spark of life. So I think hope is very important for our lives. Moreover, everyone can have it.

I believe that these words. “His genius, he was quite content in one brief sentence to define: of inspiration one percent, of perspiration ninety-nine. ” Thomas Alva Edison .

There are various things for an effort. The effort is very important for a human being.

When I was high school student, I belonged to a baseball club. Japanese high school baseball is strict. Our baseball club had more than100 members. In many members, I must gain a regular. Therefore, I had to make a lot of effort. For example, I ran for a long distance many times, and I can’t count how many practice swings I did.

However, I had a splendid manager. He is a greatest person in my life. He has a strong passion, and I met good friends in our baseball club. We got over the hard practice together with my friends.

Furthermore, I was not only the regular but also captain. I learned the importance of effort through high school baseball!!

Light your life up

Have you ever had a setback in your life? What do you do when you feel blue? Move on or stay the same?

My father’s best friend’s son killed himself four years ago. He jumped off a building because his parents didn’t allow him to marry with the woman he loved. He was in despair. But many of us will think, “Why did he kill himself ? ” There must be many ways to figure the problem out. But, none of us could be him, we can’t know what he thought or felt. The only thing we can be sure is he despaired enough to end his life, no matter how many people cared about him.

What I want to say is when you lose your hope, you can’t see light, you can’t find the exit, everything will be covered with gray. And when there is no hope, there is no dream, only the nightmare that you can’t walk away from.

But if there is hope, everything will be changed. No matter how difficult your position is, you can cross it. Hope is the fire that lights our lives up. With it, you won’t lose your target. With it, you won’t get lost. You may fail, you may be sad, you can cry like a baby, but never ever give up hope. As long as you harbor hope, tomorrow will visit you with a smile. Like the story about the king of Scotland-Robert Bruce, you may fail, but if you harbor hope, you will win tomorrow.

I believe in hope. Only the one who moves on, can reach the goal he or she wants. Happiness won’t visit the one who stay as they are. As the famous lines said “Tomorrow is another day”. No matter what happened, we should always remember, the sun will still be able to rise tomorrow.
