Portfolio 6:The attitudes I’d like to have in the future
Attitude is a person’s feeling or opinion about something, there is a proverb says that attitude determines everything. Positive attitude is an essential component leading to success. Now, as an overseas student in Singapore and envisioning my future, I have established three attitudes in my heart.

First, I should be optimistic when facing difficulties. There would be difficulties in my life, including language, culture, diet and climate. Adapting to a new environment is a tough process which I need to go through. An attitude deserves to learn reads “it’s there” (A climber who wanted to conquer Mount Qomolangma answered a journalist who asked why he had the courage). Yes, so easy an answer, but it has meaningful intensions. While difficulties are on the way, I have the confidence to overcome them.

Secondly, I want to have a learning attitude. One purpose I came here is to widen my horizon and Singapore gives me the chance as an international and cosmopolitan city. During my time in Singapore, I can acquire more cutting-edge knowledge, gain more international information and make friends with people who are different races. This is really a good opportunity for me to enrich my mind.

Thirdly, I would like to have a dedicating attitude to society. Being generous is an important step of being devoting, if somebody ask for help, I will give him my hand. On the other hand, I hope that, through this overseas experience, my hard working spirit and acquired knowledge; I can be a useful people and make more contribution to our society.

In a nutshell, making these attitudes my guide, I will do my best and I am confident that my future will be bright.
