Sunday in the park

There are two families at the park on Sunday. Both of them enjoy the leisure time, kids enjoy playing the send, parents enjoy the reading. However, when the kids do some ting bed that we can see there are two different kinds of way the parents deal with. One is the “big man”, who is use rude method which is unconcern others feeling and encourage his child keep going. On the other hand, another family tries to communicate with this big guy, but finally they get very bad response. Another family’s father, who called Morton, is educated high education. Even though he wants the “big guy” wants to realize some thing he thinks is right, on the contrary, this big guy thinks it is wrong. We can see there are no crosses on this situation because the “big guy” wants use force to save this problem, but Morton doesn’t want. Morton chooses get out of there to save the problem. Morton’s wife doesn’t satisfy her husband. She thinks he is too weakness. But Morton has his situation he needs to care. They argue each other in the end.

This story happens in our daily life. We can see a lot of people argue from just piece of cake thing. For example, should they go out for dinner or eat at home, try to hurry without waiting on line or speak loudly at Movie Theater etc. Because people come from different background and receive different education, we can not wish human-being have the same value. Basically, there are no exactly correct and faulty in this world. However, we should stand on the opposite position to think why they did this. Also try to respect them.
When I was a child about 8 yeas old, I passed door in front of a game-store. There are two boys bigger than me and they said rude words like “Move Away!” top me. But I responded them impolite words, too. Then they want out the store and grabbed my neck want to punch me. Even if I was smaller than then, but I thought I am not wrong before. I argued them. But they could not listen to me. One friendly stranger saved this situation. Because he said two big boys bully a small boy is ugly. I do not know why I have brave can agued with them just because I think I am not wrong. However, if time can come back, I will choose just go away without say anything with them.

10 (More) Reasons You're Not Rich

There are plenty of people complaining that they are not rich because they can not earn enough money. They always say” If I could make a little more, I could deposit and invest better…etc.
What the problem of them is that they spend too much money to buy extra items they do not need. If people want to become a millionaire, they have to do with how much they make, it is how they treat their money in their daily life.
Here have ten reasons that people are not rich. Caring what your neighbors (classmates or colleagues) think, not being patient, having bad habits, not having goals, not being prepared, trying to make a quick buck, relying on others to handle your money, investing in things you do not understand, being financially afraid and ignoring your finances.

From: 10 (More) Reasons You're Not Rich. ( by Jeffrey Strain, Wednesday, October 1, 2008)

Because the economical crisis, many people suffer the painfully financial problem. Same as every consumer, I lose little money, too. (Oh~ no…) Therefore, I start to think how to save the money but keep up still live better. For example, I had planed to move out more fancy room but temporary canceled just now; moreover, change the behavior that I have used to find good restaurants and socialized with my friends to become cooking by myself. Besides, use the coupon to buy the necessary as possible as I can. Furthermore, find some free place I can visit during my free time. On the contrary, because of that, I have learned a lot how to save money.

When I had a job, even though I earned a little of money every month, I always spent all of money without thinking if I found some goods are my style. This was bad habits. I thought I have already improved it, but I have not exactly. After I read this article, I think I need to update my brain….. If I do not, I will suffer in starvation during this period of economical crisis.

Summary of " Views of the language learner by Mitchell and Myles."

In recent society, many people whatever they are adults or children, a plenty of them choose English as their second language. They may be learning the target in every social place such as school or workplace. Besides, the author mentions that the learner is like "inner mental mechanisms" that can processing, learning and storing new language knowledge. In fact, there are two groups which is the cognitive and affective can be defined the difference between individual learner. For example, in the factors, there are three factors has been thought which is intelligence, language aptitude and language learning strategies. On the affective factors, language attitudes, motivation and language anxiety also has been thought. Also, interest and characteristic are influencing the learner as social being (Mitchell & Myles, pp. 17-20).

As a language learner, I really think to be a language learner is like "inner mental mechanisms". The reason is to be a successful learner should have some strategies can be used. For example, there are four parts are distinguished such as listening, speaking, reading and writing. A good language learner should learn it step by step. In addition, personality also is an important part can influence the learner like motivation and anxiety attitude. However, maybe someone say that intelligence and aptitude is also a reason can decide the one is good or not, I am not agreeing with it. Because there is no statistics can exactly show in this world how many people can use this “gift” to become a successful language learner.

The word "impossible" is not in my dictionary.

"The true character of man ever displays itself in great events."

Napoleon(15 August 1769-5 May 1821) was born in the town of a small island near France and this island was transfarred from France. In his early year, he had served in military and started to join the war in the Euro. Because he like reading the books such as thinking, religion and philology, those books make he has a basic sense to influence the whole Euro. After he won a lot of wars, he started to innovated the rules like politics, education, judicature, administration, legislate and economics. Until now, there has plenty of European think he is a big hero.

The first time I read this quote is when I was senior high school student. I felt superising because I thought this man is over-proud by himself. But, it is true that sometimes people should have confidence like him, even if that is too over. Can you imagine that when he pointed his army to attack other countries and when his enemy heard that is Nopleon's army, they start to think how to escape. Maybe I speak too much over, but when you see his quote, you can think how self-confidence he has. And this is make him won a lot of war at that time, result in changed all of the Euro.

But, his big ambition also comes a big failure. Finially, he sent into exile and die on a small island.
This ending make me think about if you win all of things, it is also means you are in the dangerous situation. In addition, human should think how to have a safty way if you lost. Anyway, before you become successful, you should have the confident attidute like that. Confident attitude decide everything.

Refinanceing spurred sub-prime crisis (from L.A. times business)

This topic is talking about some people who live in America use the refinancing to pay their payments. But many people got trouble from this because their debt become doubled. Then, the lender began to threaten foreclosure. What got them into trouble is that they refinanced their mortgages without clearly and understanding the terms. Also without realizing that the sales advertisement and loan documents were sometimes deliberately unclear to trap the unwary.
Sales just want to lend money to their customers.
For business achievement, they donot care the customer's situation is too risky that cannot afford the payment. Even they use the "hard sell". In Taiwan, I can see some young people donot care about the refinance will ruin their future and they still enjoy to use that. This will become worse and worse because the monthly payment will increase. Finally, not only their credit is broken, also their parents are involved. The government should have responsibillity to tell the society the truth and control it.

Finally...

Finally, I started to blog. I refused to used this once because I donot like to type.
But now, there is good chance to make my life more modern. I think....
