Say "NO"

Saying "No" seems easy, but it is difficult actually. When my boss asks me to do many affairs and extra works that don't belong to me, I say "Yes" because I'm afraid to lose my job. When some people want me to do their assignments, I say "Yes" because I'm afraid that no one wants to get together with me. I always say "Yes" because I don't want people who ask me to be disappointed. I think many people say "Yes" in order to have good relationship with other people. Therefore, we often bear many things and feel stressful. However, people usually complain after they say "Yes". Why?? This is because we don't consider our ability. Will I have ability to do? This is important. It doesn't mean you don't have to help other people, you should ponder if you can be equal to this work or not. "Treat yourself better!!" I always tell myself, but saying "No" is still hard to me. Maybe this is a lot of people's trouble -- "The more you complain of, the more you will keep going!!" >_<"

"Whispers: An Elephant's Tale"

I've seen a movie on Star Movies channal "Whispers: An Elephant's Tale." It isn't a cartoon, and it talks about a baby elephant, Whispers, his adventure. Whispers separated from his loving mother and started an adventure journey with another auntie elephant, Groove. In order to find Mother, Whispers met many problems and overcomed many challenges. He is really brave. This movie looks like a documentary, but it is from "Walt Disney" in 2000. The set is in the wilds of Africa, and the characters are all animals like elephants, tigers, monkeys, etc.. When I watched it first time, I just couldn't image how to shoot this movie because all roles are animals. Although it is dubbed in English and easy to understand, it's really difficult to handle these animals. Do you know how Disney filmed this movie? They observed and stared at the animals who express themselves with human voices and caught every reactions of animals and added with dub. In my opinion, only "Wonderful and Marvelous" can describe this movie. However, it's a pity there's no DVD or VCD published in Taiwan. You can only watch it on some western movies channels if there is a chance. I like this movie because it's really worth to see.

An E-mail

I've got an e-mail from my classmate recently. The topic of that e-mail is "The Last Night of the World." If today was the last night of the world, what would you do? I think I would like to stay with my families and all the people that I love and care about. Everyone should treasure everything that we already had, and people should not always woo fame and fortune. This is because money does not always bring happiness. Besides, the end of this e-mail mentions what parts you cannot bear to part at the last night of the world is the final value in your life. Even though you earn much money and gain the fame and fortune, you are not happy and satisfied with. Therefore, the final value of my life is the relationship of all the people that I love and care about. I think everyone's final value is different, but the ordinary is happiness.

Un Unforgettable Experience of My Job

Hi,
I work in the cram school as a teacher of third graders in elementary school, and I work for is
responsible for checking and instructing students' schoolwork and helping them to prepare the tests.
I would never forget the first day that I was in the cram school.
My students played a joke on me. Some boys caught worms and put the worms on the face.
Then they called me: Miss Chen, could you come here? We needed your help.
When I walked to those boys' seats, they raised the head and faced to me suddenly.
I was scared and going to be mad at that moment, but all of the students just laughed at me.
Why did they do that??
However, I can be my students' friend now.
Being a teacher is really a hard work!!
