It began with books




This article decribes about a director of Microsoft in Asia gave up his high salary work and devoted himself to be a volunteer . At first , I could not agree with his behaviors ,but afterI looking all the article , I thought what he had done was much more meaningful than sitting in the office all day.



He thought he could afford to get 500 or 1000 books and help give these kids an education , but there were too much people who could not get an full-blown education all over the world ;therefore; he built schools and bilingual schools . I have so much respect to him ,because most people will not quit their jobs especially high salary to do something meaningful without getting any rewards . In modern society, people are always looking for high status or high salary , and forget what they really want in origins ; eventually , they lose their life directions .


I ask myself will Ithings like JOHN WOOD ,and first of all , I need to have enough money like him , and everyone know it is very difficult for general . Although I will not have much money like his , there are still something I can do without using much money . I make myself a wish in the future to donate money every months if I can , and do some free-will works like visiting children in orphanage and so on .


Money is not the most important thing to help people ; instead , having a active mind is the first step to help others . No matter what you are , there is always something for you to do and JUST DO IT.

Taiwan's passion for baseball has many roots







Baseball have opened the fame of Taiwan , and the first image of foreigner to Taiwan is also-Baseball.The fist baseball team in Taiwan is 紅葉少棒 , and it also had many good grades.Baseball has played an important role in raising the profile of Taiwan when it was still an unknown member on the international community.


This article is about the different viewpoints of many baseball fans towards the new and unexperienced baseball players.They turned their feeling to new players after Taiwan got the qualification for the Beijing Olympics totally.Researcher Hsieh Shin-yuan of the National Taiwan Museum noted that ''baseballthe nation has provided a healing and unifying forcr that could not be found elsewhere in the nation.''I have very deep feeling when seeing this statement .Even if you are all unknown strangers,but you also cheer for your national's team , and on this time , you may notice that a strong force connects your hearts closely.Maybe this is so-called '' The Sense Of Recognition ''.Therefore,there is nothing that can replace this magical force.Tracing to the baseball history in Taiwan , there were many miracles happened unexpected.I think it was the Taiwanese spirit '' diligence , optimistic mind'' that helped them make many unexpected success.


We can learn the attitude of them no matter what we do . If you believe yourself ,and the dreams of you will come true eventually.I am very proud of you -TAIWAN.

two legged dog

~THERE IS A WEBSITE LINK IN THE TITLE ~
This article tells us a story about two-legged dog . Faith was born with a shriveled left leg . Although there was a rolling aid , it finally walked itself . It not only inspired many peaple who were on their hard time but also lived positively and meaningfully.

I was very shocked when I saw this photo on the paper , beacause I have never seen a two-legged dog . It did not have a negative mind towards it life , instead , it lived happily and respectively.The sentence " I want people to understand that you can be the imperfect physically and still be perfect through your soul , through your spirits.'' inspires me the most . Many people misprise themselves just because of the lack of something physical ,and no matter what challenges they have to conquer, they always have one thought ''I can't''. In fact , it is not the deficiencies they have that made them fail but the lack of confidence . Furthermore , there is another meaningful sentence ''If a dog can do it , so can a person . It is very hard for dog to walk on their back legs , beacause dogs generally carry about 60 parcent of their weight on their front legs.

Even the dog can take its hardest challenge successifully ,and why don't you??Though we don't know what does the dog think about it , but we are sure that Faith is happy to be alive and that's enough .
