Hi Lisa. You have a very positive philosophy. One phrase I remember is "Comparison is the thief of joy." If we spend time comparing our life with other people or what we see on TV, it can make us feel worse instead of appreciating what we have.

I lived in Nigeria in 1981, in a one-room bungalow set aside for teaching staff. There were about 20 other teachers and their families living in the same little bungalows clustered together. Most of them were from West Africa, and it did not take long for me to get to know them. Not knowing your neighbors, I discovered, is unthinkable for Africans. One of my neighbors, living in this little room with his wife and two small boys, told me that he studied in Manchester England for many years, getting his PhD. One morning at breakfast, he told me, how he couldn’t believe that after living in their apartment in England for several years, they still did not know all the people on their floor. That just wouldn’t happen in Africa he said. We in the West have many luxuries, things that most Africans can only dream of. The house I live in now, which is considered average in my neighborhood, would be considered a palace in Nigeria! Yet the sense of community that I found there was something I had never experienced growing up in America, and since then I have tried my best to be outgoing. You might say I brought a little bit of Africa back with me. You are right about finding happiness inside yourself first. When you do, I think you’ll find it easy to make friends.

Your English quite good and is also YOUR English. Is cute and sing / song. I can hear that you are courageous and positive. If I'm unhappy I think it takes my energy away. But if happy takes no energy. One thing is true. As you get older you desire less friends and a much simpler life. When I was a wee lad living in Bristol I remember most the sunny days when I'd go to the back yard at our row house and pick hot strawberries. I desire a similar simplicity not BUT would like to share it with a special someone. But we can't always get what we desire. As long as I have some of what I want. Hot Strawberries from a small backyard a sunny day and a train station to visit.

Good morning Lisa: This is my third video I watch after being in California so many years still have accent when I speak English you speak better than me. You might wonder why I don't speak good English is due that most places and most jobs I went though are Mexican so no need to - - speak English. Told my Chinese friend she must learn English her coworkers are from Chi na when she goes to other places she has to speak English you speak better English than- me. Only there are more Chinese people in San Jose and San Francisco. Los Angeles may be there are so many I don't know too much there barely visit there I just know Chinese - - - among other Asian are concentrated or live in San Gabriel's part of Los Angeles. Cesar
