To all my friends and loved ones
Love from me
Useful Perspective
致朋友们以及我所爱的人们
这是一份爱的礼物
也是一席金玉良言
If we could shrink the earth’s population
to a village of precisely 100 people,
with all the existing human ratios remaining the same,
it would look something like the following:
如果我们把全世界的人口按照现有压缩为一个１００人的村子，情况就会如同以下：
There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans
这个村子里有：
57人是亚洲人
21人是欧洲人
14人来自西半球的南、北美洲
8人是非洲人
52 would be female
48 would be male
52人是女性
48人是男性
70 would be non-while
30 would be white
70人是有色人种
30人是白人
70 would be non-christian
30 would be Christian
70人是非基督教徒
30人是基督徒
89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homosexual
89人是异性恋者
11人是同性恋者
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world’s wealth
and all 6 would be from the United States.
6人拥有全世界59％的财富
而且这6人全是美国人
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
80人的居住环境不达标准
70人是文盲
50人苦于营养不良
1人濒临死亡边缘；1人正要出生
1(yes, only 1) would have a college education
１ would own a computer
1人（是的，只有１人)会接受大学教育
1人拥有电脑
When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective,
the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
透过这个压缩图来放眼我们的世界，就会明晓接纳他人、谅解以及教育是何等重要。
The following is also something to ponder……
再从以下角度来想想看……
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness……you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
如果你早上醒来的时候健康无恙……那么，比起活不过这一周的百万人来说，你真是幸运多了。
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation…you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
如果你未曾经历过战争的危险、入狱的孤独、严刑的苦楚、饥饿的痛苦……那么，比起世界上５亿人来，你真是幸运多了。
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back,
a roof overhead and a place to sleep… you are richer than 75% of this world.
如果你冰箱里有食物，身上有衣服可穿，有屋篷遮蔽，有地方睡觉……那么，比起世界上７５％的人来，你真是富足多了。
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in dish someplace…you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealth.
如果你银行中有存款，钱包中也有钱，还能到某处消费习菜……你便跻身在世界上最富有的８％人口当中了。
If your parents are still alive and still married…you are very rare, even in the United Stated and Canada.
如果你的父母依然健在，而且还在一起生活的话……这可是非常难得的事，即使是在美国与加拿大。
Someone once said: What goes around comes around.
有人说过：我所付出的终将会回归。
So…
Work like you don’t need the money.
Love like you’ve never been hurt.
Dance like nobody’s watching.
Sing like nobody’s listening.
Live like it’s Heaven on Earth.
所以……
去工作时，犹如你不执迷于金钱。
去爱他人，犹如你从未曾被伤害。
去舞蹈吧，犹如无人在一旁观看。
去歌唱吧，犹如无人在一边谛听。
好好地生活，犹如这里是人间乐土。

first read this poem at one of my composition class . 'wat,unbelievable.' i totally shochked with my mouth open ..we usually spend much of our time complaining how the god is unfair to us and ....but it turned out that we r so lucky and careless.. there r so many ppl lead a life much worse than us..yep..we should try to be positive and be satistified with wat we 've already have ..
once a time i asked one of my friend:how u can be so damn happy everyday..i never saw u being upset angry or sad ?
and he just smiled :at least u r alive ..right..
the more u have the more u wat..
the least u wat..the more happy u r...damn right!!!
now,I love the life and live everyday as if your last day.,and u??

When a lot of foreigners are
eager to know more about Chinese Culture,
what I am doing is just trying to figure out what does the Center of The Universe--NEW YORK looks like...
Don't say I'm insaneI am totally A PSYCHO...
But it is what I really want Once there was someone had said to the world "Give me a fulcrum I will turn the earth upside down!"...
I beg the God Give me a ticket I will fly to AME...to see what it is really is
An angle appeared in my dream last night,he asked if I've got any wishes to wish to come true.
I said no...I don't have any...(Jesus ,god knows what am I talking about...+_+)
Then he smiled and said ,"My little girl don't worry...I know your dreams...I will send u there..."A single but shining drop of tear went out of my right eye...
I paused for a little whilethen said,"NOPE...Thanks."

Strictly speaking ,the first few days of the internship only contain listening to a few classes taught by the previous teacher.So today as usual ,I went to the middle school where I continued my internship.
Getting up earlier than usual ,grabbing a piece of bread,riding on my cute pink bike,I headed for the middle school...
...Unfortunately,I was too early...there were only two teachers in the teacher's office.The one who was gonna take me to the class were not there yet... So standing outside of the teacher's office,I waited for the teacher to come in the lobby
...About 5 minutes later,a little boy around 13 or 14years old holding a mop in his hand passed by.(Obviously he was doing the cleaning job)He looked me in a strange way... ...
One minute later the same little boy passedby again...stared at me in the same strange way... ...Another minute passed the little boy came up to me and started to talk to me... "What...r u doing there?"he asked.
" uh...I am waiting for a teacher!"I answered. "why don't u just go directly into the office and meet her?" "She is not there.She hasn't come yet..." I thought the talk would stopped here but he started to talk more... "What for?I mean wait for the teacher?"he seems like a curious child...
"...well...actually ...I came here...for...for the teacheing internship.I am gonna teach here for a couple of days.and I need a teacher to take me to a few classes she teaches and...then I am gonna teache!"reluctantly I answered.
"wow,cool!which grade r u gonna teache then?r u gonna teache us in our class?"there was a joy on his cute little face. "Hehe...I will teach Grade 1 class 3 or 1 maybe.Which grade r u in?"I smiled...
"I'm in Grade2!but u can ask the head master to teache our class!our class is much better than other classes...and most students behave themselves quite well!"he looks excited saying this."But most other students... they don't even listen to the teacher in class..."he sighed slightly,then continued"WHAT DRIVES U HERE?this is the worst school in our city everybody knows that!????I mean the students r the most difficult ones..."
"well..uh..that's why I came here,I wanna challenge...myself...maybe..."(gosh I didn't even knew what I was talking about at that time...)challenge!how did I find that word?...how did it came out of my tongue???...I must be out of mind then... This time I started to talk to him"do u like English?"
"...Nope..." "do u behave yourself in class?"I kept my smile on my numb face.
"Well to be honest...I am not at all a quiet student in all the classes on different subjets.Teachers treat me as a naughty one! BUT I am the quietest boy and really behave myself in English class!"
"Oh really ?U DO?"I interrupted him and in a suprised way. "Yes madam!"he smiled. "then u must be a very good student !"I tried to speak patiently...as if I was a kindergarten tutor. ...
"oh..no...I am quiet in english class because everytime when we have english class,I couldn't understand what the teacher is talking about and it is even harder to figure out those weird words and letters...so I keep sleeping in class...so that is the reason why I can behave myself!!!get it?"then came a series of giggling...he got blushed by his own words...
...The came the teacher that I was waiting for....the little boy waved good bye to me saying"see u ,teacher!" ...I was ,I admit at that moment, a little bit flatterd... Do all the children like young teachers?Why?Because of their black painted fingernails?or because of their ears with 3 shining earings?or just simply because they r ... (to say)...young?..I don't know... But I got a much stronger desire to conquer the so called MOST DIFFICULT STUDENTS...
