      The quote that “To die for one’s people is a great sacrifice. To live for one’s people, an even greater sacrifice I choose to live for my people.” is really impressive. Especially, I always learned about the news that someone chooses to die because of the pressure from a group or society. I am not really supporting this kind of idea because they are actually placing the harm and pleasure to those who love them. But I also don’t have the right to criticize them because they are really suffering from those pressure that placed on them. So, this is the magic for this quote along with the one mentioned in the earlier reading. Speaking up to change the situation to help more people.

      Also, I learned to find the reason of failure from ourselves instead of external factors. I think this is a good idea in some cases which can be a motivation for us to improve ourselves. However, sometimes it might be the external reason. I don’t mean that we should blame our failure to these external reasons. But we need to think critically. If it is really the external reason, as mentioned in the reading the education system’s problem, we need to do something to change it. The reasons for not getting the tenure might not because of your qualification, but because of the discrimination in the system. So, it is really important to acknowledge the problem and do something correspondingly – speak up!

Question:

It is true that in reality, the promotion or admission generally not depend on one criterion, how can we figure out not being promoted or admitted is because we are not good enough or discriminated?
