By listening and seeing a lot, I become aware that everyone/everything around me is an inspiration in disguise. In this case, I agree that Silence is Golden, but not in all cases especially in law or justice.

To make the world better is my inspiration. People nowadays usually don't know what they are living for(just their inspiration),so I want to learn from ancient examples to find out what is the purpose of life,and help everyone understand they should learn from yesterday ,live for today and hope for tomorrow.The inspiration is effective and I am working hard.
Just try your best and achieve your goals,everybody.
Jenny
