When I first heard the words “strawberry generation” from news, I was curious about why they chose strawberry to represent younger generation. Strawberry has beautiful look, sweet but sour tasty and easy to squelch, and people think our e-generation has some characteristics like strawberry. I also notice that media tends to use the words too often when teenagers make mistakes. But, in fact,
everyone makes mistakes. After news media exaggerated how unstable and how low pressure resistance younger generation seems to be, the term “strawberry generation” has become a stigma totally.
I do not think I am a strawberry generation. However, indeed, I have some attributes match their so called strawberry generation. First, I pay attention to my appearance. I do not understand why this trait was categorized into strawberry generation. People often care about what they look in others eyes. It is quite normal. The point is that: pay not too much attention. Another one is “ability does not match educational background”, I think the reason may be we are not good at getting used to new environment easily. We younger generation needs to experience more so that we can get with our work and society and be more flexible.

Week six
In my opinion, I think a mistake is we do or say something wrong and will be scolded by others. And we may feel uncomfortable and frustrated when making a mistake. In short, I think a mistake is an obstacle to achieve our goals. I used to take mistakes as a symbol of humiliation. I was afraid of being blamed from others when I made a mistake which makes me embarrassed. As a result, I try my best to avoid making mistakes.
However, after listening to Prof. Pausch’s speech, my point of view had totally changed. It reminds me the sentence I wrote on comment on Task one:”…good judgment comes from experience. However, the experience often not so good.” Once I make a mistake, I will try to escape from it. But, when I slow down and think again, I realize that if I can learn from it, then I can avoid making the same mistake. So, why don’t we think like this way: Making a mistake can be a lecture for us. People make mistakes, but few of them know how to make good use of them. I think, mistakes can be a mirror which reflect the truly you. By looking into the mirror, I can see my shortcomings and try to fix it.
