12/28/2005 DreamForward Your Dream
Ralph Marston
It is surely a blessing that dream do not instantly come true. For if your dreams were to immediately be fulfilled, you would never have the pleasure of dreaming them.
The anticipation of an achievement is an important part of the value of that achievement. Having something to look forward to gives enormous richness to life.
It is good to achieve your dreams, and yet it is also good to hold on to them, to nurture, refine and appreciate them before they have been reached. In so doing, by the time the dream is achieved, it has developed a real and profound meaning.
Working toward a goal is what makes that goal worth having. The fact that a dream has not yet been fully realized is what makes that dream so enticingly desirable.
 Go ahead and dream big, wonderful, positive and intimately meaningful dreams. For they’re the ones that will get you to move diligently and persistently forward.
Your dreams will not come true in an instant, yet they can instantly begin to provide focus, direction, and a driving force. You can then enjoy each and every moment as you steadily bring those dreams to life.
Quoted from CE Vol.53
It’s the end of 2005 which has different significance for each people. No matter what has happened to you, just let it go, everything will be better. Make your own dream come true in 2006.
Don’t count on everything will bring you happiness, all what I want to say about dream is definitely above. Enjoy.
12/21/2005 Words, Meanings Most of us are taught to pay attention to what is said─the words. Words do provide us with some information, but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it would hinder our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily on words alone. Words are used to describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message. Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words. We don't always say what we mean or mean what we say.
We would do well to listen for how messages are presented. The words, "it sure has been nice to have you over," can be said with emphasis and excited or ritualistically.
The phrase can be said once or repeated several times. And the meaning we associate with the phrase will change accordingly. Sometimes if we say something infrequently it assumes more importance; sometimes the more we say something the less importance it assumes. 12/19/2005 Art and HistoryIn history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions.
A
 study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than that is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious belief, emotions, and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our own can be provided by art. Art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than that can be found in most history books. 12/14/2005 MemoriesJust now I read this poem for several times. It reminded me of many things before.
With college classmates, planting trees on the hill, trip in the zoo and on the Luoyan Island, barbecue in the Forest Park, tears at the dinner before graduation......numerous soccer matches with high school and college teammates, each scene floated through my mind one by one.
Ironically, I didn't begin again until several months ago.
Wish you guys being on your way...
Begin Again
Collin McCarty
One of the best things we can do in our lives is this:
Begin again.
Begin to see yourself as you were
When you were the happiest and strongest you've ever been
Begin to remember what worked for you
(and what worked against you),
And try to capture the magic again.
Begin to remember how natural it was when you were a child——
To live a lifetime each day.
Begin to forget the baggage you have carried with you
For years:
The problems that don't matter anymore,
The tears that cried themselves away,
And the worries that are going to wash away
On the shore of tomorrow's new beginnings.
Tomorrow tells us it will be here every new day of our lives;
And if we will be wise,
We will turn away from the problems of the past
And give the future——and ourselves——a chance
To become the best of friends.
Sometimes all it takes is a wish in the heart to let yourself...
Begin again.
Quoted from Crazy English VOL.55 Go To College, Or Not...Not going to college is not an acceptable option almost all round China. It's realized that all high school graduates ought to go, because college will help them earn more money, become 'better' people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don't go. And these years whether to go to college is not a primary problem facing graduates, it is how to go to a better one.
But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. More and more graduates from college can not find their positions in the society. Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves━they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. Some people blame the state of the world, and they are partly right.
For every young people after the completion of high school, college may not be the best, the proper, the only place. Those who are made intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal or quick to learn things may be merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not.
So to those who don't have enough energy and enthusiasm to go to college, I just want to advise please don't waste your time and your parents' money. 12/12/2005 Fight Winter Blue★Pace yourself. Don't expect to do everything you normally can. Set a realistic schedule. Don't listen to negative thinking, like blaming yourself or expecting to fail
★Get involved in activities that make you feel good or feel like you've achieved something
★If you are feeling depressed, you may feel like staying away from friends. Yet this is a time when friends' support can be helpful. Call them regularly. Remember, the more we put off calling or visiting a friend, the harder it is to rebuild a friendship
★Think clearly about what's wrong or right. Instead of giving in to vague feelings of sadness, look at your problems objectively. Break down problems into specific issues that you can work on
★Regular exercise helps to prevent and ease depression
★Eat well. Studies show that a healthy diet can help to maintain a healthy body and mind. Recommend: bananas, turkey, nuts and seeds. And eat at least five pieces of fruit and vegetables every day 12/11/2005 AnnouncementYou might have seen my album(Alphabetical), what do you think? If you feel your picture is not satisfied or even can not find yourself, please send photos you are favourite to me. Thanks again. Hope To Be HelpfulRecently I read some reports about psychological cases. More and more people are being obsessed with various pressure. Actually some kind of pressure comes from the feeling about other people's judgement. Sometimes this feeling maybe an illusion or misunderstanding. Even though the fact really exists, how could you get away from this situation?
★Don't care what others say about you, just be yourself. We are living in the personality era, if you imitate others, you must be unwelcome. DiaryLast night I had dinner with LiSi, Dongjun, Mafang and Kandanr. They looked good, and I got a surprise that Kandanr has got married. Congratulations. I was very glad to see them, and I miss you guys. Good luck! Net DisasterNobody can predict what kind of thing will destroy our human being in the distant future. Nuclear war, greenhouse effect or infection, who knows. But maybe you have realized a new terrible phenomenon is happening around us——more and more young people are becoming addicted to the internet and unable to help themselves. Games, boring chat and movies of which plots are absurd and trivial cost most time of their life, even study time. What's happening to the society? We should do something, at least do better ourselves. 12/9/2005 Answer1. Sideways: Those who sleep sideways are calm and peaceful. They are not overly excitable or particularly sensitive. They are steady, do what they are expected, and get the most they can out of life. They do not drive themselves crazy while attempting to "get ahead"
2. Face-down: People who sleep face-down are serious and stubborn. They hold strong beliefs and try to have everything done precisely the way they want. They are tense and focused, and they do not give ground easily (It's me)
3. Face-up: Those who sleep face-up are confident and optimistic. Concerns and worries that wear others down have little effect on these people. Their attitude is "happy-go-lucky", and they are not particularly keen on planning or scheming.
4. Curled up: Those who sleep curled up like a baby are trusting, natural, and communal. They tend to see the world in rosy colours and treat people kindly. They do not want to see and think about the darker side of life. Above all, they long for security, intimacy and joy
5. Twisted up: Those who sleep with their arms or legs twisted are experiencing stress. They are under constant pressure and must move past their troubles. The tension will either wear these people down or convince them to forget their worries and start again Try Another IdeaChristmas, New Year and Spring Festival is coming. What do you buy for your boss? What do you get for a distant relative who you hardly know? What suggestion do you give to your parents who want to give gifts?
Have you ever thought about something traditional and invaluable in the future?
OK. Let me recommend Chinese calligraphy and painting works which has been becoming popular in big cities like Beijing. And buying on line is more convenient and accepted by more people, especially youth.
So come to my shop and choose something you like, you'll never regret.

1. Sideways (侧卧)
2. Face-down
3. Face-up
4. Curled up (蜷缩着)
5. Twisted up (腿或胳膊缠着)
The answer will be proclaimed later. 12/8/2005 A Real Good StuffHere is a very cool stuff I want to introduce to you. There is a software called "PPStream" by which we can watch lots of popular TV channels on line. Maybe you have known it. But good things should be shared with friends. You can down it from many websites you find from Baidu. Please Say SomethingI'll tell welcome to my space. No matter who I know or I don't know is my guest and friend. Please give me some advice or chat with me if you have extra time. Thank you for support. A Disappointing DayCan you believe that Manchester United lost their final chance? Benfica just ended United's nine year streak of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League knock-out stages last night. What is it? Is it the original Man United I loved before? No. Absolutely not. Maybe this is the football, you could never be perfect all the way.  12/7/2005 A Little Bit ConfusedIt's my first time using it.
