Dictionary

Recently I want to buy a synonymous dictionary because I think it is very useful for me. I have a vocabulary that I write myself. I used to read it and I also arranged the vocabulary for synonymy. But I did not understand how to use the word. So I think dictionary is a good tool although it is not cheap. I believe the dictionary can enhence my vocabulary and let me learn easier and faster. After all the tools are certainty very important and necessary to evryone who want to learn something.

USD 20 Worth of Time 價值$20美金的時間

The story is about a kid and his Dad. The boy asked his Dad
"Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
"if you must know, I make $20 an hour" the man replied
At first the man thought he wanted to buy some toys and shouted at the boy angrily. But in the end, he realized the reason that his son wanted the 20 dollars. The boy wanted to by an hour to make his Dad come home early to eat dinner together. I believe that lots of parents work hard and tired everyday to earn the money for life or get promotion. And they just have little time to accompany their family. That's really sorrow!! I think that We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Personally, that is easy for me, because "family" is all the world to me. Final I would like to share it to everyone.

Why did you choose your major ?

Well!! My major is Industry Management. The reason for choosing my major are definitely not because of interest to me!! I have no interest at all but I don't dislike it, too. When I was at junior high school, I didn't prepare well for the examination of entering a higher school. So I didn't get good score and I feeled a little bit depressed then. Although the senior high school I passed was not bad, and it was on the middle. But I really forgot how i made the decision for studying an institute of ichnology. I remembered that my Dad told me the advantages and defects of these two totally different ways at that time. He gave me advice so as to let me have a direction to think what life I wanted. I think the reason of choosing an institute of ichnology was because the institute of ichnology was better than the high school and also could learn a professional skill. The second reason was because my Dad told me that "life doesn't just have only one way." This sentence make me determine to study I.M. for my future. After I graduated from the institute of ichnology. I pass the entrance examination of NTUST. I still studied the same major, but some of my classmates switched to other departments. I know most of students select the major is beacuse of earning lots of money or interests, but I believe that there are some students just like me choose the major for no specific reasons at all.

Actually, In the course of institute and NTUST. I took lots of classes, some interested, some bored and some excited. I realize my major Industry Management become more funny and interested. So I can tell my kids or friends that no matter what major you choose, you must make sure that you do not dislike it. That is very importnat because you have to accept it first and then the interest just can grow in your mind. Of course if you know your interest and then you can find your favorite way. Anyway I can say I choose my major by my intuition!!

Admire person

I admire my Mom. She is always optimistic to face her life. She never gives up for our three kids and my Dad, too. She is so kind and so warm to everyone . Sometimes I tell her "You are a little bit stipud for something,you know?" She always says "Doesn't matter or not a big deal, Ok!!" She is a real happy-go-lucky person and I love this attitude for life!! After all the life is so short, and we have to be happy for everyday, every moment.

Iron and hammer

I wnat to share a chapter that I read on internet. I briefly relate it . That is about a hammer and iron. The iron could not stand for the flame to burn him , so he talk the flame "Could you reduce your temperature , i feel very uncomfotable." The flame do it ,too. Soon the iron tooked away to the hammer and the master use the hamemr to hit the iron. The iron feel hurt ,so he tell the hammer "Could you slow down your speed " And the hamemr do it,too. finally he is send out to other places. But in a little he was send back to the factory. The iron see the flame and hammer again , he realizes that there are something in life you have to face it ; you just cannot evade it. If you evade it, then your life will be rot. I think it talks about some people's mind. some person when they are in a difficult time ,they will choose to evade it, even to leave it . but this chapter tell us if you evade it, it will come back for you at all. So I believe that difficulty can make people better and get improvement. The important thing is that we grow by beating the difficulty.

Important skill

I think the useful and important skill for a person to make a more better life is E.Q. and social contact. E.Q. can let people handle difficult problems by using easy way or not so serious attitude to treat problems and get along with others. It also can make you express your thought funny and useful. Social contact is about the talking skill. I think talking skill is more important than E.Q. You must practice your talking skill to expand the interpersonal relationship. Besides it also can let you easier break the ice with people , such as classmate or co-worker who you first meet. Talking skill is important for everybody, but it is also difficult to improve and practice. Maybe someone would say language is important, but I think the above-mentioned skills are definitely basic tools for language, for everyone. Right?
