Day 21: Lesson & Free Time

Day number 21. This means that I'm officially here in Wuhan, China, WUST for 3 weeks. Time just flew pass. We are only left with 3 weeks over here! 21 more days to go!

Nothing much happened today. Woke up at around 7am in the morning, prepared and off we go for our IS Lesson by the Dean of the Foreign Language School, Mr. Philip An. Had lesson on Chinese Traditional Thoughts, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. However, for today's lesson, we touched on some history of China and Confucianism. The rest of the topics will be covered in the next lecture. Here are some photos of our lessons!

My Reflections:

After attending the lessons with the Dean of Foreign Language School today, I realised that religion and philosophical thinking and quotes teaches us important values in life which are essential in our lives. It teaches us how to look at things at different angles and thus, we will be able to find our answers in a more simple way.

"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple"

Here is one of the quotes whom I personally feel that we should have in us, so that the world and society which we are living in will be a better and self-less one.

"Less for self, more for others, enough for all"
- C.S. Lim
