As I thought about it, I found two examples of two scientists that had a great impact on our society. One of them was a Persian physician, Ibn-Sina. Once he could not understand a medical book. He tried to r

- In the past, I divided my university courses into important and unimportant ones. Then, I worked hard towards mandatory courses and ignored the unimportant ones. So, I end up getting very good marks for my mandatory courses, but very low mark for easy ones. As such, my Grade Point Average came down.
Lesson: There are no important or unimportant courses. All of them are significant! Work hard no matter what kind of course you have!

- I did not ask questions in some classes because I was afra

  I'm certain that there are a lot of poor children who want to learn but they couldn't attend school because:

1. They prefer to work in order to sustain or provide a living for their family.

2. Because of poverty, many women and children are become victims of sexual exploitation and prostitution. 

3. Those young children could be the next generation of scientists, educators, or lawyers but have limited access of support because they are living in far away islands and have no means to reach them.

Last week one of my friends give me a special gift, he went to Israel and stayed there for a month, he just back at home last week and give me a red thread , while he was tying the red thread  in my left hand, he told me a story about it  “I took this red thread from the Rachel’s Tomb , you have to ask for seven wishes while I do seven knots” – he said.

After 5 months of NATO's bombing of military personnel and civilians in Libya, the Libyan government has today struck back as promised by detonating a sizable bomb in Oslo, Norway, between the Oil Ministry and a government building housing the prime minister, presumably regarded as a command and control centre. Norway is a member of NATO and has been actively participating in the NATO campaign against Libya. Like most of the other participants, Norway has major interests in the oil industry.

Time flies! It's already been five months since I arrived here in Canada in February, and I'm going back to China in two weeks. I've experienced the winter and so fantastic a summer here; I've learned a lot (English,medicine, and more); I've made so many friends; I've visited several beautiful large cities (Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Quebec, and I'll be visiting Vancouver on my way home). I really enjoyed my stay here, and so impressed by the friendly people, gorgeous sights, and the way they li

Many of you learn English through EnglishClub.com's Weekly News. I have been reporting the world news for many years now. English Club used to have the Monthly News Digest. It had four stories from the previous month. This year we changed the format to a weekly news report. I add one new story every Tuesday.

  Chocolate has a variety of brands, textures, and types. But, why is it one of the favorite desserts of every person? People, young and old find eating chocolate is an indulging experience. It actually depends on the brand and type we eat.

According to the great blogger, Seth Godin,

"If you're going to work....."

We have to work efficiently. Most companies are strict when it comes to employee's performance on work. We have to compensate money and benefits that the company provides to us, in return for our labor. As we all know, our work is our "bread and butter".

As I see it, if we work efficiently, there would be a chance for growth and promotion. Your boss or the company would see you as a model employee to others. Indeed, he or

I hope you’ll excuse me if my words hurt you. My main goal is not to insult anyone who chats or to condemn the act of chatting. However, I would like to share my personal experience in the chat room, which wasn’t pleasant at all.

The first thing that deeply hurts me to the core is to see my friends fight over a different opinion. Imagine, different members from different social class with different background are in the chat room. As such, they may have various opinions about religion, race
