International Women's Day!

Happy Women's Day!How do you spend your day, women? Still working or enjoying your holiday?I'm still working and I will tell you something funny why we don't have a half a day free.This morning, one of our manager who is a woman came into Mr Nakao's office, who is Japanese--the boss. She asked " Today is International Women's Day. There are so many companies giving their woman-staffs a half a day free. Could you give us a half a day free, too?"Can you guess what my boss replied?

The day I saw you

You were alone and quiet.

No one noticed you, nor recognized you.

You asked, no one answered.

You talked but, no one listened.

 

 


My face concealed the sadness in my heart.

In my heart, I kept my true feeling.

The tears I hide behind the smiles.

Is my true feeling that struggles to survive.

 

 


My whispers were shouts that resonated with clear meaning.

But, was ignored while you rejoiced.

That day came when I knocked on each one's door but, had only seen much pain and rejection.

The day came... that day came.

"Positive Thinking"

If I have one advice to share, it would be to choose your attitude. When my attitude is right, there’s no barrier too high, no dream to extreme, no challenge too great for me.

Friends or Acquaintances

There is a difference between being an acquaintance and being a friend.

An acquaintance is someone whose name you know, who you see every now and then, who you probably have something in common with and who you feel comfortable around.

It's a person that you can invite to your home and share things with. But they are people who you don't share your life with, whose actions sometimes you don't understand because you don't know enough about them.

On the other hand, a friend is someone you love. Not t

A wise & right decision to be determined by the wisdom & knowledge!

Firstly, I would like you to imagine yourself that you are pleasantly driving alone in the evening, very dark night, but you are now going into the very heavy stormy weather. When you are passing by the bus station, suddenly youve seen three people waiting for the Bus in the horrible weather; one of them is an old lady who seemed to be almost dying. The other person is a Doctor who has saved you once before. The last person is a

People always come into our life for a reason, a season and a lifetime. When we figure out which it is, we know exactly what to do.


When people come into our life for a SEASON, it is because our turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring us an experience of peace or make us laugh. They may teach us something we have never done. They usually give us an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. And like Spring turns to Summer and Summer to Fall, the sea

Friendship (Companionship): A true & real friendship should appear to be really worthy, rare and valuable in event. I imagine it as a gold digger. I think that this gold digger has more chances to find a piece of gold in the mine than to actually find someone who can possibly be a true friend in this whole world, and who can keep, develop and promote this true/real friendship in life. This friendship should be consequently based on the honesty, appreciation, sincerity, love (friendly love, not l

Thank You All for Understanding

Dear friends,

My contact list has been growing up and now, it is too big to be managed very well. To be organized, I have decided to delete some friends from my contact list. By doing so, I do not want to offened or insult anyone. It does not mean that I do not like my friends or do not care for them. I just want to be organized. I very much appreciate your understanding in advance.

Have a terrific time,

Nafis

snail mailDear Friends,

I am writing a letter for all of you to see and read. I hope that you don't mind that I am addressing it to all of my friends. Please know that I will not do this often. I will only send a message to ALL of my friends if it is an important notification. I think letters should be personal. They should be written from one member to another member.

MyEC is a place to learn and share English. Private messages are not necessary unless they contain private information between two people. A

In all one's lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of .

When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself.

~ Chpt 18 : Empathy ~

Empathy, which literally translates as in feeling, is the capability to share another being's emotions and feelings.

I have been thinking about it recently.

There's time when we say something without thinking..and realise its a bad thing to say then its too late for you to take back..


i hate it when that happen..

Anybody want a book aloud?

Hello. I'm a reader. Since I was young I've been reading books. Most of them was a pleasure to read. I´m looking for books while I'm studying this language, and I've found some great places. The proposal of this post is one of that. There you can find a variety of books but aloud. All of them for free of course.
And all are downloadable as mp3. Take a look at this site if you are interested.

Enjoy!

When we write or speak English, we may make all kinds of mistakes - spelling, grammar, or collocation. But we can learn from our mistakes. Then, how do we learn from them? My answers are as follows:

 

1. Reread what you wrote or recall what you said for possible mistakes. Be aware that you may have used some words or expressions incorrectly or inappropriately. We make mistakes even when we write a simple sentence or speak an easy word. English can be so tricky. It's not a breeze for learners to ch

what is love?

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it
is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always
hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails. —I Corinthians"
