VIP Class Notes 6th March (Jesse) [W]

Why is being positive so important in life? Talk about a time when you wish you were more positive

Describe someone who you think is beautiful or handsome
Who it is
What they look like
How you knew them
Why you think he/she is good looking

I have met a very handsome man when I took a plane from Beijing to Shanghai in 2012. I will always remember the feeling when I first saw him, and a sound from the deep of my heart:” what a so handsome man he is.” Our seats were closed, but I never thought we could have a talk. When the plane flew halfway, he looked like dropping something on the floor, and he tried to get it up, but he tried for many times but he couldn’t get it. So I asked if he needed help. He said no then he called flight assistant to help him. After that we had a talk, and I know he was an Iranian, and he was a scientist. Talking with him I felt he was very gentleman. On the plane we exchanged our business card. Then that night he invited me to the brand. I told him I was a little tired and I told him maybe we could see each other the next day, so the next day we saw each other and it was a happy experience. After that he went back to Iran, and we connect each other on email. He was a wisdom man. When my life or my work met problems, and always could give me more valuable advice, he was a kind man, I thought judge a person if he/she is good looking shouldn’t just see his/hers face, the beautiful heart also very important, and that the most important reason which I choose a friend.

I met a very handsome man when I took a plane from Beijing to Shanghai in 2012. I will always remember the feeling when I first saw him, and a voice came from within my mind that said / and I said to myself “what a handsome man he is.” Our seats were close / together, but I never thought we could have a talk. When we were halfway there, he looked like he dropped something on the floor, and he tried to pick it up. He tried many times but he couldn’t get it, so I asked if he needed help. He said no then he called a flight assistant to help him. After that we had a talk, and I found out he was Iranian, and he was a scientist. Talking with him, I felt he was a gentleman. On the plane we exchanged our business cards. Then that night he invited me to the bund and I told him I was a little tired and that maybe we could see each other the next day. So the next day we saw each other and it was a happy experience. After that he went back to Iran, and we keep in touch on / over email. He is a wise man and when my life or my work has problems, he can always give me a lot of valuable advice. He is a kind man. I think that judging a person shouldn’t just be about what they look like, it should be about, what’s inside, and that is the most important part of how I choose my friends.
