  1. I realized how small I am when I studied something about the universe. It is because sometimes I am interested about the universe and yesterday I saw a picture showing a lot of galaxies and there I realized how small I am. We are only a diminut portion of the universe and a lot of things are unknown for us. One day when you woke up try to think how many galaxies are discovered and how mane are undiscovered and try to think that we are only a planet in a million of millons.

  2. A few years ago, I was on the sea and met a storm, at that time the ship just liked a piece of leaf and humans liked the ants. Since then I realized we are really small in the nature. The earthquake, storm, tsunami, and a lot of other nature disasters can destroy humans and our civilization easily.

  3. When I was in an airplane, it seems like a tiny world that the sight out of the window.
    And I felt like a giant. I think we should experience as my case. And if we do that we would be humble.
