Discipline

These last weeks I feel I have been thinking over my attitudes towards work, home and relationships. The result was surprising: I have taken up many tasks at the same time - maybe more than I should. Thinking about all this over and over again, I came to the conclusion that sometimes we carry burdens throughout life because we want to prove to ourselves that we will be able to carry them.

Eventually I thought I should give up one

PLANT INSTINCT

Plants need water to grow.

When the water is abundant they grow more leaves and forget to produce fruits.

When the water is scarce they feel that they are going to die soon, they produce fruits to continue their generation. 

 

Just water your plants enough to keep their normal life!

Today, I made a new friend. He is a different kind of boy. He had made a very big choice in his life; he chose to be different from others. He told us that he is a gay and he doesn't believe in God. Well, I’ve ever heard anything like this before but this is the very first time for me to meet someone like him. I was surprised because he told us about his personal life. He said that he wanted to have a real conversation, so he told us about his personal life.

 

He said that being different from oth

Recently, I spent a lot of money on english classes for improving my english efficiently, especially, my oral english.

Due to this such amount of money I put into my english classes, I have to force myself to study harder than before! I am a little stressed out recently, but I also enjoy this kind of feeling I put all my efforts on my target! Like, being painful and pleasant at the same time! So exciting and crazy, right?!

 

haha, my story isn't over yet by now! please go on reading :)

That's the question i asked myself for more than 2 months after i found out that my laptop was ready to give up. I know nothing about technic and i understand computer language as well as i understand chinese language. So my decision really depended on the arguments people around gave me. My son was one of them, i have to say he really made the difference in my decision.I always had a PC and, and though i am not a computer freak, i could manage to work on without having too many problems.

Not worse than a Tsar

http://www.ekaterinburg.tv/images/Nikolai.jpgDid you know that the Russian Tsar Nikolai II had spoken at least three foreign languages besides Russian? He knew French, German and English, and his English was just perfect. Dutch was he knew a little bit worse.

But there starts another interesting chain of facts concerning his language teacher, Maximilian Berlitz. I am not going to retell the whole Wiki article, Максимилиан Дельфиниус Берлиц.jpgbut the Tsar got an outstanding teacher and I

Being Away....

Being away from home, away from my family, is/was/will always be, an intricate experience for a home sick person like me.

My luck or my work which brought me to a new place demanded focus, perseverance, resolve, determination to concede and accept the fresh start to another life.

New surroundings, new folks, entirely different atmosphere, it all seemed too much to handle at first to me. But my goals were clear and precise, I was here for the betterment of my family.

Finally, I can continue my second part of my blog post. In this blog post, I want to share my experience to develop my writing skill. Since there are various things that I do to improve my writing skill, I can't write them down in one article. It will be too long and boring.

So I divide them into 4 parts. Each part discusses one of four things that I do to improve my writing skill. On the first part, we discuss two grammar books that I recommend.



To remind you, here four simple things I do to i
