In the course of human history there has been some people who think they are always right and can decide what is good or bad for the rest of our society. Sometimes these "enlightened people" go far away and decide what kind of books people have to read and what books should be banned.

Friendship

Friendship , this word is nice to hear and to have in our life time. Some people trust on friendship and the rest is not or doubt it. Yes we can not blame them , because in reality we can find that some friend is good and some friend not . But to me it's all depend on how we face them , also depend on our luck .

BIRTHDAY

 

Ann wondered what people over the world did on their birthday!

That year (2015) she took a day off as a present for herself on her birthday. She had 13 off-working days a year but had just used 1. So she was tired of work and took a short break.

She stayed at home. Two first greeting messages were from the bank where she had account and the mobile company she used. (-.-)
