financial free

Most people have very admirable & achievable goals in their lives -- wanting to get to the end of their lives and be able to live comfortably, take care of themselves and leave something for their children. Most people consider Financial freedom as a buzzword.
Surely, getting rich is the main goal for a lot of people. That is unfortunate however, because there is something so much greater I have to confess that I believe greatly in the power of money for good when in the hands of the right people. I think money is simply a tool that people can use to do great things – or bad things.
Getting rich is easy. It is simply a discipline that anyone can do if they so choose. There are many examples of people who have made very little money who have left vast fortunes. Spend less than you earn, save more than you spend. Put what you spend into an interest bearing investment. Get educated, get better training, work hard, develop yourself, stay out of debt and own your own business if you can. Do this over a long period of time and you will get rich.
I believe it.

chinese kungfu

To many foreigners, Chinese Kungfu is mysterious oriental mythology. Usually, might is the most important factor in fighting for foreigners. However, skill and wisdom are the essential characteristics of Kungfu.
Many foreigners come to China not only with the purpose of studying Chinese, but also to experience Kungfu. In parks and campuses across shanghai, you can see foreigners in Kungfu attire, practicing Chinese shadow boxing and Shaolin boxing .
There are two places where foreigners in China who are very interested in Kungfu are bound to go to: Shaolin Temple and Wudang Mountain. Shaolin is Buddhist, while Wudang is Taoist. The first style of boxing is hard, and the second is soft. Both have existed for hundreds of years in China.
One of my friends from England, Jimmy, once lived in Shaolin Temple for three months to learn Shaolin boxing and to improve his Chinese. Right now, his Shaolin boxing is excellent.
Are you admiring him? Come on, go to Shaolin temple to enjoy the chinese kungfu.

do i really like it?

I talked with a friend with whom I have spent more than 6 years. We know each other well that most of the time we are just one person. He used to say, "You are the only one on this planet that knows me." I know him since he knows me. As we talked and talked, some unexpected words burst out that I believed it was the first time he put me into submission of agreement. He said, "You never think of the postive side. You always got the negative point." I was stunned. I got a good command of talking back against others. But this time, I have no words! You know, NO WORDS!! What a shame!
Am I really like that? The answer is absolutely affirmative. One hundred percent yes!
Though sometimes I got some kind of surprises out of these miseries, most of the time, I am always in the boundless abyss of negative fators.
Those who don't truely know me take me as a confident person that knows nothing of the trifles and truth of life. They have totally gone off the track. Fortunately, he is not among this group.
I know I have no need to say any thanks to him.
I really got a deep affection for him.

just the beginning

Today, when I was on the way , suddenly I realized that I was just at the preliminary stage of my life. I've just learned how to learn, with my heart, and with my soul. I am just an infant of experiences.
A friend of mine told me that "Before I was born, I asked my parents to give me life; after my birth, I asked for their care and love." I did the same. But what did I GIVE MYSELF? What do I need?
no matter how good or bad they were. I got acquaintance with my little pals who left me the most joyful time I've ever had. I was lucky to be able to have the same kind of happiness till I graduated from the university, as I perceive today, changed my life, though the effect might seem minor when compared to other "waves". The most miserable thing in the world was that you didn't know you had the thing you are to use the rest of your life to get. If worse enough, you can never get there.
But life is hard. It is not just about staying in a room, reading books, and thinking how to be great. It is about doing things, achieving goals, preserving valuable memories, generously giving what you have, and many more.
How long will the journey be when we reach the other end? How much effort should we make to achieve maturity? BUT HOW?!!
Knowledge may be a good answer to choose. It is the power to fulfill the dream, and perseverance the weapon. People around ask me to learn to abandon the past, look into the present, and plan for the future. I am learning, still at the beginning.
Love is remote; knowledge at hand.

my cousin

What the terrible weather it was on Saturday. My uncle invited my husband and I to have a lunch together. We met in a restaurant which was close to our apartment and opened for only one week. I was glad to meet my cousin Grace who was studying in the U of C as a Master of Education. Though we could speak in dialect, we chose English instead since Grace knew I would like to further English and she always encouraged me to speak more. It was so funny that both of us spoke in English, neither of the others did even if we had lunch together.Last week Grace flew to Toronto and Disney in Florida as well with her boyfriend. I was very interested in her travel. She told me she enjoyed the trip in Florida very much but was bored with Toronto. I was a little confused because I felt there were much more delicious food in Toronto，and the expense of commodity was cheaper than in Calgary. Speaking of Disney, Grace was excited. She described some funny rides to me and said her boyfriend took none of the rides to play because he was afraid. Despite enjoying the time in Disney, Grace did not like to stay there for a long time. She was a little home-sick in those days because she missed rice and noodles deeply. She almost had to eat sausages and hamburgers every day, which did not taste good. She reminded me if I had a plan to go there, it was important to take instant noodles available in case there was little right meal to have. After finishing lunch, we went to TD square to look around. On the way there, we talked about her part time job as a babysitter in a daycare near around her home. She said it was easy, which only took her 4hrs a day. During the conversation, I felt a litter bit tough to follow her because I always could not express the real meaning of some issues. Hence, I had to use different kinds of gestures in some cases. Fortunately, Grace could understand most topics I talked.

miss you on my way

I skimmed my msn space yesterday night. What a long time that i forget to upgrade it, I just sent some new pictures in the past a year. It is likely some reasons caused this oblivion , maybe I encountered many tough work to deal with during those days so that I had no time to pay attention to the blogs which used to be a part of my daily life. However, when I skimmed it yesterday, I was so surprised that actually there were many events occured during the last 2 years. I read the blogs one by one, which reminded me those happy and real memories again. I usually went out for fun every night such as had a dinner with my friends, saw the drama, went to the pub. Will the happy hours come back? I doubt it, unless I go back. I can show how boring the life is now. There is no air conditioner in apartment even in ctrain, there is few restaurant open after 8pm, there is little recreation here. My friends always ask the same quesiton to me: "why do you stay at home almost every day?" what am I supposed to answer it? gesus. I often ask me: is it capitalism? does my life go forth or backward? Every time my friend told me they would have a plan to travel or for some entertainment, how i envied them. Definitely i do not enjoy here, what is my immdiate plan--it is to go back home. Miss you shanghai on my way.

transformer

It is very exciting that transformer presented last week in north america. most of my friends in shanghai told me that they would go to cinema this week even though the ticket is very expensive like any other famous films, it goes to 80rmb-100rmb. In fact, i cannnot remember many details about the transformer, just have the memory of their namse.hehe. But I still expect this action fiction because when I see some wonderful movies such as "the Lord of the Rings"in the cinema, I feel the effect of the sound and third dimension are greater than watching DVD at home. Hence, I often recommend my friends to see the movie to experience the better feeling. Alikely, this time I would like to introduce my friends who are not familiar with transforer to go to the cinema, let us backwards to our childhood.
