I love the following sentence;

" Even in a prison,

your corner of freedom is

how you chooose to think.

No one can take that away ever! "

--------Everyday Wisdom by W. Dyer

Many people tend to think that emotion controls us automatically, but it's not true.

Of course, I understand the inevitable power of emotion and no person has experience of being invaded by it through life. However, we can manage our emotion to some extent.

The reason for this my belief is based on behavioral psychology I learned. Some people dislike this theory who misunderstand, I think, yet behavioral theory offers that we can take good habit and don't mind heredity. We all have possibilities to change toward improvement.

Therefore, following this theory, we first act positively. It may be necessary for us to think positively as the basis of behavior.

I often meet a person who puts the blame of his unhappiness on others such as parents, friends, or teachers...

The woman who is over 60 year-old has thought her poor education her parents' responsibility even at her age!

I believe that she could've studied by various ways such as a distant-learning, a short course, and so on during her long life even if her parents had no knowledge and experience about education.

She is negative personified. That attitude to fucus on the dark points might have miserable and will have been unfortunate.

What one thinks in one's mind never be interrupted by oudside. The way of thinkng of yours only obey your will!

I would like to keep my corner of freedom by my positive choice.

Many people tend to think that emotion controls us, and not the reverse, but this is simply not true.

Of course, I understand that emotions are powerful, perhaps almost uncontrollably so, and that everyone has experienced been overwhelmed by emotions at some point in their lives. However, [I believe that] we can
all learn to manage our emotions to some extent.

The reason that I believe this is because I have studied behavioral psychology. Some people who misunderstand this theory dislike it, I think,
yet behavioral theory suggests that we can alter our habits, and doesn't take a fatalistic view about factors such as heredity. We all have the potential to improve ourselves, if not our circumstances.

Therefore, following this theory, we must first act positively. It may be necessary for us to think positively in order to alter our behavior.

I often meet people who blame their unhappiness on others such as parents, friends, or teachers...

There is a woman [whom I know] who is now 60, who has said that she blames her parents for her poor educational level. Even though she has lived so long!

I believe that [if she had chosen to act positively] she could've educated herself over the years somehow, whether via distance-learning, taking short courses, and so on during her long life even if her parents had not provided adequate education to her when she was under their care. It may be more difficult to learn things when someone is older, but it isn't impossible.

She is negativity personified. Her attitude to focus on just the dark points might have caused or added to her misery, which is unfortunate.

What one thinks in one's mind can never be interrupted by outside. You have complete control over how you choose to think!

I would like to keep my corner of freedom by making positive choices.
