Sunday in the park
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
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.
Ten more possible reasons that you are not rich:
1: You care what your car look like- Car is only transportation material, do not buy too much luxury new car.
2: You feel entitlement (designation)- Do not trace the fashion items before you have your own money.
3: You lack diversification- Do not keep all your eggs in a single basket.
4: You started too late- The interest works best over long periods of time.
5. You do not do what you enjoy- If you choose the job you do not like, even if the career can get los of money, you will spend all of extra cash to relieve the stress of job you hate.
6. You do not like to learn- Knowledge is power.
7. You buy thing you do not need use- Check around your house, closets or basement. If there are some items you have not used in the past year, you need think don’t waste money again and again next time.
8. You do not understand the value- The expensive goods are not meant have good totally value. Some cheap goods also have nice quality. However, you do not understand it.
9. Your house is too big- Well, bigger than you can afford is like suicide behavior.
10. You fail to take advantage of opportunities- Be sure you have the self-control and determination to keep your eyes open. Also having the brave to grab it when the opportunity coming to you.

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."
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.
