There are so many people who although are not so smart, they work very hard to achieve their goal and make the dream come true. There are some miracles in this world, but we are not the one chosen.

2. From my own experience, work hard is the most effective way to be luck. Because when you do everything you can, you will have more chance to be successful. We cannot choose to born in which kind of world. Hard- working is the only thing that we can do.

2. I think this is not an effective way to get luck. as the article mentions, life events are uncontrollable sometimes. the only thing work in my opinion is to change the way we think of one thing. maybe like, I miss a due day, I get a bad grade but here is lesson I learned, I did not have to pay more to learn this lesson. See it as a luck.

3. I still do not understand the term luck, because, I can only think of luck to be something like goods that i get, and nobody else.

It is normally to to see some friends bragging on social media. I believe the original purpose that people brag on is to share positive events and achievement with their friends and families, so that happiness is increasing. However, exaggerated
boast jealousy envy and other negative emotion, which produces an adverse effect. Individuals are usually unable to judge and control the degree of bragging, so the best way to avoid unhappy result is not to brag on social media.

DQs:
2. I think I'd better pay attention to my words and language on social media. Posting my daily life is okay, but not to share some exaggerated achievements or experience. Take myself as an example. I rarely post pictures or share emotions on social media, because I am worried some words I used or happy things I shared would bother my friends. Maybe one of my friends is upset now, and after seeing my posting, he can produce some negative emotions that I do not expect to happen.
3. I believe bragging is not a good manner on social media, because inappropriate bragging make other people produce negative emotions, like jealousy, envy or unhappiness. If someone really make a great achievement, I believe being humbled is the best way to treat others' praise instead of boasting on social media.

Like mentioning in the essay that the graph about HIV during WWI, people can trough different kinds of graphs to know how to keep fit and healthy.

DQs:
1. I do think that the graphic designer can use their skill to change people's mind, because we are in new world. Everything around us will be appeared in digital form. People see more pictures than words, so graphic designer can send so many information to the public through their pictures. By repeating the pictures around people, people will believe in the words on the graph to help them keep healthy, which can change their mind.

Most of graphic design are used for educate the public from different aspects. However, for advisement, the designer are aimed to attract the public's attention to buy their products.

2. No, i think graphic design and advertising are similar. First, to reach the effect, they both contain exaggeration in their graphs or pictures. Second, they aims to make people believe that what they show or express in graphs is true. For example, some advertising says this medicine can help you lose the weight. The company wants consumers to believe this medicine does work. Same idea applies to graphic design if they want to promote certain medicine.
