I would like to learn sign language. First, I like to learn new languages. Second, sign language is really not an ordinary language. And third, it allow us to communicate with people that are often left aside. I think it was really a great progress to create a language for the deaf. Before, they were forced to learn the normal language, to speak it, and to read on the lips of the others persons.

I think being one-self is being different.For exemple, I really hate the fashion. The principle is that everybody must be like everybody. It’s the herd instinct: when one sheep throw itself over the edge of a cliff, all the sheeps of the herd do the same thimg. So I would like to do something really different, that would follow no rule.
I always had the impression that our destiny is determinated. Even with good studies, we will not have a real future. We will just follow a path. It’s difficult, and sometimes impossible, to create his own path. Well, it’s my impression. Platon (I think it’s him) said that “there is no favourable wind for the person who doesn’t know where she goes”. But sometimes I would like to give up doing all the things I’m doing, and follow a road that goes nowhere.
