The Most Unforgatable Experience of Mine

I remember vividly the day that I made a big mistake –I was not listening to my mother’s words to keep the door closed. When I was eight years old, in the third grade, my family lived on 4F of an old apartment in which other seven families lived. Those families used the same entrance which was normally open because children forgot to close it all the time. My mother was worried about our safety and kept reminding us that we must close the door after walking in. Unfortunately I treated it as a murmuring and wasn’t willing to follow it.
The day was Saturday. Only my younger brother and I stayed at home. My father went out for work and my mother was also out for grocery shopping. We were very happy because we could temporary away from my mother’s supervision.
We started to play. A couple minutes after, we started to find something to eat. There was no snack at home, so I went out for it and asked my brother stay at home.
When I went back at main gate of the apartment, my hands were full with snacks. Therefore, I decided to keeping the door open -ignored my mother’s instruction totally. By the time I climbed up to 3F, I found a stranger man after me.
I thought it was someone’s guest and was not aware any dangerous. I kept climbing. Suddenly, the man stopped me and asked, “little girl, did you know who was xxxx?” I stood up, turned back and tried to answer his question. A terrible thing happened. I found the man’s hand was under my skirt!
I started to cry. I thrown my snacks toward the man’s face and ran. I ran very fast to home, with the speed that I never had. I punched the door loudly with crying voice, “Dad, Dad opened the door!”
My younger brother slowly answered the door and asked, “sister, why you said that? You know Dad wasn’t at home.” Fortunately, the man probably shocked by my voice and he wasn’t followed me.
I didn’t tell my family about this accident. I was so afraid that they will blame me on my carless. But after that, I keep the door closed always and never forget it.

Have you ever written Regularly to someone?

I wrote regular letters to my grandparents monthly while I was a child. These regular letters help us form a tightly emotional connection between family. These letters also helped me to walk through the dark valley of my life.
My Farther left his hometown early for finance reason. Just like the other millions of young man, away hometown just for a better job in a big city. These letters wrote by me but present him with his best wishes and conveyed deeply miss to his family. While I wrote and read these letters, I learnt how to love my family and experienced the deepness best wishes from grandparents.

Do you remember learning to write?

The writing experience of mine was started by elementary school while I was Nine years old. But the “real” writing experience that I could remember was the day at my third grade.
At very first beginning, my writing was thought by my mother, every word I wrote, every thought I made was came from her directly -just use my hand to write them down. That was bored me. Until one day, the teacher gave an assignment, “what do you do while your weekend?” My mother let me write it freely and put the score aside. I used four pages of sheets then finished the work. Finally, I got an “A-“.
After that day, I learnt the interest from writing. My teacher let me know; she liked and encouraged me if the writing really done by myself. I felt safe and welcome from her attitude. It makes me believe the writing seems not that difficult if I tried my best.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family

Although Television acting as a mass media to bridge peoples’ social life and modern world, it still has many serious drawbacks. Let me explain my opinion by three bullets.
So, I’ll start by filling you in the background of “Coach Potato”
Finally, I’ll elaborate on why we “lost mutual understanding” causing by television.

First,
Television provides lots of programs to attract people watch them. These programs are full with sound and various image art to persuade audience stay tuned. Especially when people back home after working all day long, these programs grab all their attention make them sit on the coach stick in front of TV, indulge in these entertainment then become a coach potato.

Second,
In order to grab audience attention, the TV program full with Violence, Sex and Propaganda. Those things are minor in real world but major in TV show. The unscrupulous themes can be easily imitated by young children and adult, because they are detail enough and frequently published over and over at media. People who addicted in TV program too much they got problem to figure out what went wrong.

Finally
Finally, we lost our trust to human being. We lack of patient to understand who think in different with us. We indulge in the phantom world that TV creation too much and forget what is real. We lost the patience to maintain mutual relationship between people. Finally, we lost the connection among friends.

Conclusion
How to maintain a lasting meaningful relationship is depends on how you understand and familiar with real world. If people who addicted into TV program too much, he or she literally lost control by phantom world that TV program created. Moreover, they are totally block out and forbidden by read world.

About Movie “Front of the Class”

PLOT
Brad Cohen has suffered by severe Tourette syndrome since he was child. He can’t help but keeping make bark noise no matter when and where -especially he feel nervous. These behaviors embarrassed his parents and friends very much. At that time, no one knows he injured by the mental disease. They marked him as a problem child finally.
At the first beginning, his mother thought his abnormal behaviors may came from her divorce. Therefore, they started to see the shrink frequently. But it was no improve after many times treatments. He was keeping made troubles in school. Finally, his mother couldn’t tolerate anymore and also didn’t trust the comments come from the shrink. She started find the more suitable answer in the library. And she found. It is Tourette who causing Brad has these kind strange behaviors.
Jessica’s comments:
In the end of the movie I notice Brad give a speech to thanks his long term best friend –Tourette who give the chance to teach him never give up. But I can’t help but keep wondering who is the first person taught him never give up? The answer should be his mother. His mother just a simple saleswoman which don’t have good job or high education. These conditions not stop her to find the real answer. She helps his son stand up at the first step and also provides him enough support, encourage at his follow life.
I also notice that Brad is fully trusted in his father‘s love–even the time when he thought his father not support him as a teacher. When Brad failed to gain a private exam room for his master degree test, the first one he think about to call help was his father. Of course, his father not let him down.
In my opinion, Brad’s success is not a coincidence. It is a combination result, a love nexus between parents and child.

David against the Giant?

When I rolling the web searching business news from CNN Money for my assignment, a topic listed “Dell and Intel: Big Tech behaving badly” brings my attention. Here goes the topic:
First, Intel manipulated the chip market by paid rebate to Dell, HP, Lenovo and Acer to let them stay away AMD since early 2003 to 2006.
Second, Dell got rebate around $4.3 billon, they lied their investors by putting this amount back to computer maker report pretend this is part of their operating profit. Until May 2006 Intel stop paid so called “incentive program” their operating profit server dropped off by 36%. They still keep lying to their investors, they didn’t do any wrong.
Third, Intel dealt a peace treaty with AMD and paid its rival $1.25 billion to obtain AMD dropped all lawsuits against Intel as a return.
I still remembered the day when we first time saw the AMD chipset. My boss announce it with exciting sound, he believes the new technology can bring server another future. But after that at following serial projects, a different server hadn’t been found.
We understanding the important about “free market economy” operation, but to protect a future start to against big giant should belong to government’s responsibility. To my surprise is the wording that reporter use, “naughty behavior” Intel… It seems if a company is big and reach enough, they’re bad behavior becomes tolerable and reasonable. Even though such serious finical crime “antitrust” and happen in States.

Change



I studied physiognomy and astrology since I was a child, my mother influenced me. She runs a small company; the skill helped her do the recruiting easily. She shared experience to me especially special case happened. The real cases became powerful precedents convinced me trust the skill more.
Long time pass, studied the skill becomes my regular hobby. I use it to evaluate employee, friends, and neighbors. I trust it so much; I even use it to against people who related with me. Then one day I found, only one type people surround me. The scope of friends becomes small. I realized something happen, and started to view internally my-self and the skill I used to trust.
When I found the deeply drawback my- self, I started to change. I am trying to extend the vision what I used to be.
The skill should be purpose for helping people to understand each other. To realize that individual group has each own character. If I cannot learn how to respect the difference, one day I will finally alone.

PS: I found someone is guarding me. Every time before I made big mistake, the unknown power will shows and stop me.

The Indispensable Man

I’m afraid the feeling of unsuccess, so I try my best at every challenge.
To well prepare makes me succeed,
I also dazzled by the feelings that “I’m always right”(?).
The more I win, the more I lost. I become proud without sympathy.
I can’t tolerate anyone who slows down my speed.
One day I found, my son is the one who slow down the other.
The attitude which I throw at to the others just reflects on him.
I’m sunk in profoundly depression. I introspect myself day and day.

The poem “The Indispensable Men” was I found from internet.
I print it down stick it in front of my desk,
it reminds me in every minutes must not proud.

The Indispensable Men
Sometime when you're feeling important;
Sometime when your ego 's in bloom;
Sometime when you take it for granted,
You're the best qualified in the room:
Sometime when you feel that your going,
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow these simple instructions,
And see how they humble your soul.

Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it up to the wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that's remaining,
Is a measure of how much you'll be missed.
You can splash all you wish when you enter,
You may stir up the water galore,
But stop, and you'll find that in no time,
It looks quite the same as before.

The moral of this quaint example,
Is to do just the best that you can,
Be proud of yourself but remember,
There's no indispensable man.

上學記

Because of work, I don't have much time company with my children since they still in junior school. I let after school's teacher take care of them even junior school. Everything seems perfect and peace with my daughter Winnie, I think Jeremy, my son will same situtation, too.

Until one day I checked his homework and found, he has trouble to identify "b" and "d". I'm surprised by the stupid mistake he made and yowled. He cried and replied, he hate English ever since I send him to "何x仁". Not only that, he hates any kind of coaching when it comes from female teacher.

I felt puzzled and weakness, I don't know how to do. I know I'm the one who should take more responsibility. I have no one to talk and discuss. The way I grow up seems can't copied to my son. I awake all night, the more I think the more I panic.

Finally, I pick up the phone call help from my father-we stop talking since 20years ago when my parents divorce.

After discussion, we all agree to let Jeremy stay with grandfather for weeks, let him closely ovserve what's went wrong? Weeks after, we made another communication.

My father told me, Jeremy needs just same as I am at the pass-parents' company. He learnt this from the previous marriage he and my mother, same mistakes shouldn't happend to me again. He also told me how he loves me and sorry for bad relationship we had previously.

After the disussion, I felt freash but strong. It seems I grow back from little girl again but fool with parents's support this time.

I agree my son's request -teach him English instead of after school. I understand my English ability isn't good enough for junior high school level, therefore I back to college again.

Dear Jeremy, I hope one day when you grow up will find, English is not that hatful. One day you will find our learning these years is more than English - the love connection pass through from grandfather, mother and you.
