After watching that video, I have some special thoughts I want to share. Although it was talking about history and Marco Polo’s story, I think there were many other things we can learn from it.
I think he decided to visit the Mongolian Empire, it was a brave decision. We all know that it was really hard to travel to another country at that time. It told us, we need to be brave, try to get new knowledge, and face the challenge. Although Marco Polo seeing how rich Mongolian Empire was, how advanced it was, and how many entertainments it had, he wrote it down without any bias only with his objective judgment. From that we can learn, when we are inspecting somethings that we don’t know, we should seek truth from facts. We should learn from others’advantages and rethink our disadvantages, then we can improve ourselves. And also be humble about our progress, that will make us improve incessantly.
For the first time, Marco Polo published his book ” The Travels of Marco Polo”, there were many people thought he was a liar. Because they couldn’t believe there was another country that was much better than in Europe. And still to this day, there still many people didn’t understand ” seeing is believe”. For example, famous movie stars are arrestive, when they do something, there must be some discussions about them. And then some people will think they are doing bad things only according to a few pictures.
Therefore when we are learning or hearing something, we should believe the truth and have our own opinions. And not be fear to try new things or learn new stuff.
