A new Door of Opportunity

Just down below you can see Spain's Joaquin dejected from a free penalty kick to send Spain to the World Cup's Semi Final for the first time.

I have tried to express what i feel like through soccer photos. Everything is very unclear here in China. Business people are not upfront. If you are you will be poor. The business is similar to a mexican mentality. It has taken me two months to realize that. My eyes are open now. The thing is that the business people do not think they are not upfront. It is a custom to just smile and tell half truths.

I have met some super great people of support and others not. Teaching kids is really hard. I tried my best and my classes were active with new friendships. The kids have been acting out very undisciplined behaviour lately. Politicaly that wasn't good enough and nobody told me anything. I have been in great culture shock. It is all not my fault. The difference is between the two cultures. It has been a hidden blessing to move on to something better where i am appreciated more for who i am. Somebody that will give me a chance to support me and improve my approach. I have learnt that no matter how much you like the children you cannot hug them.

Life is about falling 7 times and getting up the 8th time. I knew asians were hard to deal with from Korea but i am surprised about how hard it is in China. It is all part of the experience.
Now i should be stronger from it. I have thought to myself am i good at anything? I couldn't make it in Vancouver, I tried construction, the navy and so many other jobs only to end up in a dead end to succeed. This is my major frustration in life. What is wrong with me i cry out!!!!!!!!!!!! Will i ever find my place in life? Or am i a person programmed for unemployed work for the rest of my life? It is time to arise to the situation of opportunity and work harder like my life depends on it. In order to do this i need a lot of support.

This is all i have to write now, I will write more later.
