My Supports




As social beings, no human can live without interaction and support from others and also from the environment, especially in such a “global village” time. As emotional beings, people like to get emotional support which is much different from other animals.
We have different kinds of identities in this world. We are children of our parents, we are parents of our children, we are students in the school, we are friends, lovers, colleagues, staffs, different nationalities etc.
For me, in a daily base, I need the support from my parents-in-law, who help me take care of my son at home, so that I can work at ease. I talk to my husband when I face challenges or obstacles at work. I buy groceries from the stores. I go to the supermarket, bread stores and the fruit store to buy the food and other things. I need my colleague’s support at working place, like IT technology, property management people to clean the office, and the doorman to take care of the security of our building. There are so much we need from all the people around us.
Imagine I need to find a new job. I will need my family to support my daily living, I need friends to help me searching new opportunities, I need internet to search for new opportunities, I need my friends and my family to understand me and support me emotionally.

  1. Hello Xia, I like your post. I just want to tell you that you are part of my support line, as well as my other colleagues. You inspire me with your positive comments, and I received positive emotional statements, which empower me to continue doing my best in every assignment. Even though we are far away from each other, the computer is a tool that allows us to receive support and stay connected. I like what you said: “As emotional beings, people like to get the emotional support that is much different from other animals”.

  2. Hi Xia,

    Thank you for your blog.
    I agree with your statement, "There are so much we need from all the people around us." Truly, I cannot imagine completing this course or doing all the requirements needed for this course without the support of all the people in my life. I have a family who is very supportive of all my educational aspirations and I thank God for them.
