How HE Turns Tables On...........

How ‘HE’  ‘turns tables’ on……:

Once a very rich but arrogant man was having lunch with his beautiful and gentle wife.  They heard the voice of a beggar at the door who was begging to give him the food.  The wife asked the permission from her husband whether she could give the meal to the beggar.  The husband very unwillingly allowed her.  When she came back after giving the meal to the beggar she found her husband not in good mood.  He was murmuring and cursing the beggar who disturbed him during

Learning

Learning is an event in which we learn something. Learning is really important in life for our own well being. When we learn something we get knowledge and we all know how important knowledge is to us. And we don't know when we have to use the things we have learned, therefore, " learning never ends". As a human being we have the power to think and store information so don't misuse that and keep learning. So be KEEP LEARNING TILL WE DIE!! and when our parents scold us, we learn so be thankful to

Paddle Up!

2347218857?profile=original

My 2016 kickstarted with an adventure that I tried with my loved ones. It's the stand up paddle boarding. This is one of the fastest growing water sport activities in the world. Technically, this is done by standing up on the board while using the paddle to propel through the water. Sounds easy, right? Actually, it's quite challenging.

Since I love the beach so much, it wouldn't be interesting without trying any sport that could be something memorable. We're all newbie paddle boarders, but the in

It is a(n)...

"It's like an iPad, only thicker. It entertains you for hours. It's like Individual screens with words on it. It's like a movie you get to direct in your own head."

                                                                                       - Jon Stewart

Ah, that poor guy! He was desperately trying to explain to the young people why books are awesome. It made me sad that he had to compare a book with an iPad. I'm not against technology, heck I have my fair share of these "modern prisons

DEAR FRIEND... #1

Dear friend,

I'm writing this because I think you listen and understand and we have a same tact in music and movies; and please do me a favor; I don't want you to judge about me based on my past 'cause I think I'm not sensitive, shy, taciturn and sad as much as I used to be... and I promise I won't be judgmental too; not even about you but also about everybody else...

I just can't figure out that how all these happened together... I'm talking about 3 years ago when I was mentally normal(after bein

My Little Curious George

My nephew is a handful. Whenever he leaves me, it looks like a hurricane hit my apartment. Anyway, he is a real ball of fire and a very curious kid. He asks a lot of questions and always demands immediate answers. Yesterday, he wasn't that Curious George though. When I asked his mother what's wrong she told me: "He wants a puppy." Then she looked directly at him and said: "Not gonna happen buddy. And that's final!"

Me: 'Why?'

Her: ' 'cause he's four. That's a huge responsibility. What is wrong wit

Accents (in English)

Accents (in English)

By Dayne Collins

Writing this article is a calculated risk, I may become unpopular in the EC universe, lose a few readers, and receive some disapproving comments. I am aware that a lot of learners who read my content are borderline obsessed with mastering a particular accent. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to discourage anyone from achieving their desired accent, I just want to share my opinion on accent acquisition in ESL English education.

Perhaps your native language is a

My dear friends! I'd like to wish each of you and all of you  to experience happiness of love and despair of being left alone, joy of being together and grief of losing what and whom you love, I wish you to burst in laughter and tears, to feel inspiration and disappointment, to learn from the mistakes of others and to make your own. I wish you to enjoy your lives, to stumble and to fall down but always to be able to rise. Otherwords, I wish you all to feel the storm of all emotions a human being

Art

Art is something which we create or do. Everything in this life like drawing, painting, machines, etc are the work of art. Most of the people think artist are somebody professional in sketching, painting and all, but through my opinion EVERYBODY IS AN ARTIST ! but the people just lack patience as ARTIST NEEDS PATIENTS!. so do what you want as you are an artist!

Love Formula

Love, love, love! I can feel you everywhere I go - in the movies, in the songs, in the novels, in the paintings, in the poems... You inspire us, you make us creative, you somehow unintentionally force us to share, what we feel because at times, we just want to scream to the whole world, we found you and we are the happiest person on the Earth.

Both genders percieve you differently. The women tend to be more sensitive and talkative, they prefer sharing meanwhile some tough men might consider talki

Our Family is the most important persons in our life. Especially our parents. They took care of us for so many years. While we were in our mother's womb, we didn't know that they are being so careful so that we can be safe. They always protect us. They always suffer because of us. Our father works for us to earn money. While our father works busy, our mother is taking care of us in the house. She cleans the entire house, feeds us, wash our clothes and many more just to make us happy. Don't argue

Why English is difficult?

English has been the universal language in the world. It is one way of communiting with the people in other countries for us to understand each other. English is difficult in some ways. Like for example the rules in constructing a certain sentence. You have to be careful in which words or punctuation are you going to use. Because sometimes it will give a different meaning. I myself was having a difficult time in constructing a sentence. That's why I want to learn more about english for me to be

Chocolate or Popcorn?

Today's the day, and love is in the air!(Is it now?) Thousands of bouquets (roses of course, Duh!) will be bought and florists are going to do their best not to snap at picky costumers. A great deal of chocolate will be consumed today and a lot of gym instructors will be soooo busy tomorrow. (The abundance of cliché in this paragraph is literally killing me!).

Or better yet, maybe you are sick and tired of clichés. Maybe you prefer to stay at home, wear your lazy pants, pop up a HUGE bowl of popc

Sometimes we get used to something that we just take it for granted like health, family, friends etc.

Then we will start saying that I shouldn’t have done that, I should have behaved more wisely or I should have been more careful. In all of these sentences actually we wish that we had another opportunity to behave differently.

For instance health; have you ever been so sick that you cannot even stand up? After few days staying in bed you wish to be strong and healthy again. At that very moment you
