  1. In my daily life, I often feel there are a lot of small changes, but one thing helps me the most is to believe in God. I don't know everything, but I know that my God will help me. Before my wife and I got married, we thought we were going to stay in Taiwan. One day, we found out we had another choice, and that was coming to the USA. I like every change that makes my life better. Randy Lin

  4. My life plan changed during different period. For example, when I wen to college I plan was study Journalism and Communication, and be a Journalist.But after 4 years I found I do like to be a journalist at all. Therefore, I talked to my parents and my teacher, ask suggestions from them. At last, I chose Marketing job which have nothing connect to my major at all.
    But I am glad I made a right decision. I think sometimes people need to be persevere, and sometimes people need change to improve.

  5. If my life plans changed, I will do three things. First, I will pray to god because I am not god so when I do something, I always hope with god. Next,I will discuss with my wife. Finally, we will make a new plan and then we will effort because I believe that Heaven helps those who help themselves.

Also, it can be adapted to the case that we have a goal to achieve. If we want to accomplish our goals, we have to endure our obstacles.
