Have to versus want to versus get to

Doing work in your own way, Do you have a routine? Or just be organized? or Set reminders? or Do everything in order? We all have different and unique ways of doing what we do. What makes it different is comparing to ourselves to others.

Gatsby Prompts further thinking

Some ideas I got, which is only one, is love. Love is something that they really do not take into consideration. So, What do we see in love? What is it to you?

What Gatsby says to me

This book mostly teaches me what not to do. And how much struggles I should watch out in life. I think the central message of this book is more of, its okay to take risks and to observe of whats around you.

Gatsby 2/11/2020

Chapt.4 so I was supposed to get nots of the beginning of chapter 4 for the great Gatsby but to be honest, I didn't really get anything, I was completely lost and I so hope Tomorrow I won't be lost, I know I would call for help but I thought I could try on my own, turns I couldn't but I mean, lets see if Tomorrow will be better. Tomorrow is always another day.

Gatsby 2/11/2020- Nick's cardinal virtue

Nick's cardinal virtue is...."I am one of the few honest person I have ever known" We can see Nick as a humble but yet a crud person of what he knows of what or who he is. Nick can be someone who is very proud of what or who they have become. He may be arrogant but that is probably one way to show that you're not here to play games and mean business. If he is someone who has turned our to be very kind and humble, then he is a good guy.

Gatsby 2/4/2020

 Great Gatsby from what I've read so far, its kind of a like a K-Drama, They are Korean Dramas of different genres, they are very addicting because they are mostly about fantasy love but some relate to real life. That is what I've read so far or what I have gotten from the book so far. Basically the beginning of a love story with someone's perspective, either getting before getting the girl or getting the boy. We'll see what tomorrow has in store for us.
