王之涣《登鹳雀楼》

I am inspired by a blogger's attempt doing the Chinese-English translation. This gives me a click in my mind that I can try to improve my English by doing such translation of the classic poem. It refreshed my memories about this poem during high school as well.

Here to share:

王之涣《登鹳雀楼》

白日依山尽，黄河入海流。
欲穷千里目，更上一层楼。

The sun falls behind the mountains,
The Yellow River flows into the sea.
If you want to see farther and farther,
then you have to climb higher and higher.

There is nothing perfect

There is nothing perfect in the world. What suits you the most is the best and perfect.

世界上没有十全十美。最适合你的就是对你最好的，最完美的。

The FIVE realms of in the world

The reputation: You have been away from the whole world, but the whole world still keep talking about you.
The drinking   : You still know who he is, but he already can't recognize you.
The friendship: You friends still remember you even though it has been a long time since you last contacted.
The career     : Your family miss you, your colleagues remember you.
The life          :  Come with your cry, leave with your smile.

(For the English version, I don't really agree with it. However, the Chinese version is way more meaningful.)

荣誉的最高境界：你已远离江湖，江湖还在传说你；
喝酒的最高境界：你还知道他是谁，他已经不知道你是谁；
交友的最高境界：久不联系，常在心中；
事业的最高境界：家人想你，单位念你；
生命的最高境界：哭着来，笑着走。

朋友的定义 The definitions of a real friend

1 、好朋友在一起不是有說不完的話，而是就算不說話，也不會覺得尷尬。

2 、朋友就是把你看透了還願意和你在一起的人。

3 、朋友就是不為任何理由來看你的人。

I read these somewhere. Not sure whether there is any similar definition in English literature?

1. Real friends are not those who have unending conversations, but they are those you will not feel awkward with in the glimpse of silence.

2.  A real friend is the one who always stands by your side, holds your hands, when he/she knows and understands you totally.

3. A real friend is the one who wants to meet you without any reason.


How many real friends do you have?

"I am not a product of my circumstances, I am a product of my decisions." 
                                                                                                                      -- Stephen Covey

但你没有 But you didn't

Toastmaster Project 1 - IceBreaker

Yeah!! Just a note to remember my kick start on my Toastmaster project <3

Thinking that I wouldn't be very nervous, but when I was called, my legs shook terribly. I believe my voice trembled as well. However, I think I did a satisfying job and my best :) Luckily, the audience still thought me to be very confident.

I am looking forward to continuing my second project and completing my CL manual step-by-step as well.
Thanks for the evaluator's comments and kindness :) "Tonight you shine like a diamond, commented by the King of Diamond." Okay, well played ~ ~ Really thank you for the high compliment, I know that I still have lots to improve, you and other senior members are my learning goal. Hope I can level up my spoken English when time goes on, and hopefully with more courage on Table Topics and my Wisdom word in every conclusion/comment I make in the near future.

By the way, Toastmaster people are always positive, cheerful and have a great sense of humour. They are always supportive and I appreciate the chance to be part of the Toastmaster. All the best for my future BreadToasting Toastmaster journey! With you :)

为你而改变

为你而改变

一位其貌不扬的男同事拿着99朵玫瑰献给漂亮的女同事。

男同事：“嫁给我吧！我爱你！”
女同事：“算了吧！我对你没感觉。”
男同事：“请告诉我我哪一点不好，我改。”
女同事：“你到底喜欢我哪一点！我改！”


An unprepossessing guy proposes to the pretty girl who he has been admiring for a long time with 99 roses.
M: "Marry me! I love you!"
F: "Just forget it! I don't have a piece of feeling to you."
M: "Please tell me which part I am not doing well or what you do not like about me, I will improve on it."
F: "WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT ME! I CHANGE MYSELF!"

Some improvement on hitting the gym 跑步的进步

Having tried to keep a routine to hit the gym, normally thrice per week, each time about 30-45minutes (not includes warm-up and relax).

Normally what I take are jogging, cycling (several kinds) and the 'oral car' (don't know what it is called in English) and I take them in turn, depends on which one are free to use.

I go to gym not for losing weigh (well partly hope for...), but just for keep myself looks sporty and keep my muscle tight. I don't want to see my whole body loose loose type when I am still young > <

Anyway, what I have improved is on jogging. In the past, I couldn't even run for 45 minutes at about 7km/h. Today I have made it! And, what makes me happier is that I found a way to make it.
（Of course, there are people who love to speed at 12 km/h or even higher, but I am not aiming for that since that is anyway not my aims. And it will actually overload your heart beat.)

1. Start with 6km/h with 5 minutes and familiarize your breath tempo. (Mine is inhale minorly via nostile twice, then exhale minorly via mouth twice)

2. Speed up to 7km/h for about 2 minutes. When you feel it is too slow to you, then speed up again to 8km/h for the rest period. （This depends on your ability. For the beginners, it is recommended to maintain at 7km/h and see whether you are comfortable with it. When you think it is too easy, you can then speed up.) Remember to control your breath.

3. At the ending 3 minutes, slow down to 7km/h for 1 minute, and continue with 6km/h for 2 minutes.

During the whole period, I find my arms and legs do not turn cold, which always happen to me before, and I can maintain the speed. I am really glad to achieve it and I hope to keep it up! ^V^

p/s: By the way, keeping the posture correctly also help me to speed up and relax. If I am not mistaken, your toes have to hit the ground gently, instead of using your heel. When your toes hit the ground, it is not supposed to be loud, and your knees have to always maintain bent to reduce the resistance from the ground to your knees.



跑步三大要诀：
1. 开始的时候：6km/h —— 5分钟，调整呼吸（呼呼吸吸，吸气用鼻，呼气用嘴）
2. 调整好了之后，可以开始7km/h啦！一般是用两分钟，如果这两分钟，你觉得合适可以继续这个速度，或者你觉得太慢，太小儿科了，就提升到8km/h，就持续这个速度。一切量力而为哦！
3.最后的三分钟，开始减速到7km/h，大概一分钟，之后的两分钟，减到6km/h，基本上是快走的步骤了。然后就休息了。

整个过程，我发觉到只要呼吸调整好，四肢都不会发麻，或发冷，就可以坚持。所以，亲们，加油咯！

对了，保持正确的姿势很重要。没有记错的话，是脚尖轻轻着地，不是用脚跟。一般上落地的声音不应该很大，还有就是着地时腿部要弯曲，以减少地面对膝盖的冲力，减小对膝盖的冲击。

生活简单就迷人，人心简单就幸福；学会简单其实就不简单。

Life is actually simple, people are the one make it complex.
Sometimes, 'ordinary' is not simply 'ordinary'.
How to make people think that you are extraordinary while you are actually ordinary is an art.
To become 'extraordinary', you have to add-on 'extra' to the 'ordinary'.


还能冲动，表示你对生活有激情；总是冲动，表示你还不懂生活。

We always need to be energetic and enthusiastic in our life. There may be times which one becomes impetuous. If you are able to become impetuous, good for you, it means that you still possess the enthusiasm; if you are always impetuous, it means that you haven't understand life.


要做的事情总找得出时间和机会，不要做的事情总找得出藉口。

Are you suffering from procrastination (delay-disease)? You can always squeeze out the time and grasp the opportunities for what you really want, but you can always get excuses for what you are delaying.

来福的流星心愿

夜空划过一颗流星，来福连忙许了心愿，希望自己能变帅些，谁知刚许完心愿，流星“嗖”地返回来，对来福说：“大哥，诚心为难我是不？”

学指挥吧

儿子对父亲说：“爸爸，我们学校成立乐器小组了，我想参加，需要自己带乐器。”

父亲递给了儿子一双筷子，说：“儿子，好样的。你去学指挥吧。”

这里是哪里

这里是哪里

有个老婆婆独自一人搭巴士，她坐立难安的担心坐过站，于是很紧张的每一站都用拐杖敲敲司机的肩膀，说：“请问一下，这里是哪里啊？”

到了第五个站，司机终于忍不住了，恼火地说：“这里是肩膀啦！”

老婆婆：“……”

---------------

小的时候路痴，也是这样不厌其烦地一直问司机“到哪里了？到哪里了？”上了车也不敢睡觉。不过也有遇过很好的熟悉了的司机，坐的站到了也会喊我醒来。哈哈^^
