Shaping your life and the future

A decade or two makes tremendous difference in one’s life. How different was the life at the eighties from the life at the nineties,or the life today at the turn of 21st century? How many years can one work after graduation for one’s country? In most cases, we are supposed to work for over 30 years after graduation for our country until retirement-------just three decades of working time and accomplishment. So there is no time to lose for anyone to make good plans and set up good goals for this short span of life accomplishment. Ten years ago, my daughter was a freshman majoring in the English language while I was a teacher of English in one university. Today, my daughter has finished her master course of Management of Information System and worked as a programmer in an American city. I have been retired for five years. In the twenty year’s time ,what great changes also have taken place in China and in my hometown Shanghai !

I always admire those Chinese young men and women who grew up, studied in college or worked already in the eighties and nineties,up to now, for they are much blessed by China’s policy of opening to the outside world. More than their parents’ generation, they can exercise control over how they use their time and energy; they are faced with more opportunities to hew out a bright future for themselves. The younger generations have lots of choices to make in deciding what kind of job they feel like doing; they are allowed to flit from one post to another or change their major or school as they wish. They even can further their education abroad. As was the system in my generation, we were dentined to do the same job, teacher or worker, right after graduation, the rest of our life until retirement. We were unable to choose the institution or factory where we worked. Once we were assigned to work in a certain work unit, it was likely we would stay there forever. We had no other way out to pursue personal welfare. How lucky and fortunate the young generations are ! They should treasure the golden age and make best use of their time and energy not only to fulfil their personal needs but also make contributions to their communities and country.

Do not let golden opportunities slip through your fingers. Life is short and precious,and human existence is fragile. The swiftness with which time flies reminds us that none of us has an infinite amount of time to achieve what one desires in life. When we see the people we love and admire pass away one by one-----family members, friends, colleagues and neighbors, we sadly realize how fragile human lives are. So do what you long for if conditions are ripe,because you have only one life to use.

Now you are entitled to shape your life and the future. You’d better seize every minute, making great efforts for the realization of your goals that you’ve set for yourslves within one decade or two decades’s time. What have you decided to do from now on ? Are you clear of your priorities? What haven’t you committed yourself to that is essential to shaping your future?

To accomplish something decisive in your life demands our full participation and our willingness to assume full responsibility for ourselves, physically, emotionally, intellectually and economically. Besides, it requires diligence----constant,earnest, painstaking practice. No pains , no gains. Victory only belongs to those who have vision, intelligence, perseverance and willpower. I believe that most of you who have tried will succeed in reaching your goals.

A Review of Evidence Eliminator

As you may be aware, you can speed up your PC and Internet Browser, reclaim lost Hard Disk space and professionally clean your PC. Also you can make it safer to use the Internet all in one click of your mouse. Did you know that in some sense your computer might be spying on you and your family? Every click you make on Windows Start Menu is logged and stored permanently on a hidden encrypted database within your own computer.
The reality is that deleting Internet cache and history, will not protect you. Your PC is keeping frightening records of both your online and off-line activity. Any of the web pages, pictures, movies, videos, sounds, e-mail and everything else you or anyone else have ever viewed could easily be recovered, even many years later. Consider how would you feel if somebody snooped this information out of your computer and made it public. Do you know if your children or their friends used your computers to download and/or delete files?

Evidence Eliminator does and will stop deleted files from coming back to embarrass you or someone else. It is possible to have a far more rewarding and safer Internet experience. You can start now to enjoy the benefits of a truly clean and faster like-new computer experience

If you are like most people, you most likely surf the Internet and send E-mail at work. If so your work computer will be full of evidence. It is becoming commonplace in the workplace for companies to copy and investigate the contents of their employees' computers without their consent or knowledge. This is legal and it is happening more and more as companies try to protect themselves from fraud and from loss due to poor productivity from Internet browsing workers. Your job could be at risk. People like you are losing their jobs right now because of their Internet activities in America and the United Kingdom. According to a recent news report, 73.5% of all companies admit they record and review their employees' communications and activities on the job.

There is no need for you to continue to take risks with your job, family, car, property or everything else that could be negatively impacted by someone snooping or stealing from your personal computer.

Postcard

Standing on the shore of a lake
A tranquil lake whose colour
Reminds me of a sapphire
Embedded in a royal crown
Or more like the blue eyes
Of a lover in a fairy tale
Waiting for his lover who’s
Far far away
When the misty curtains
Are drawn apart mysteriously
I saw the meditating mountains
Benevolent old sages
Oblivious of everything
I am lost here
Where everything stands still
Except for the swans
Waltzing gracefully
In their blue dance floor
A rowboat lonely like me
Makes me part of this landscape
U can see me rowing across the lake
In this picture perfect postcard

dad

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”

“Yeah sure, what is it?” replied the man.

“Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”

“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.

“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.

“If you must know, I make $20 an hour.”

“Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $10?”

The father was furious, “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior.”

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often.

The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.

“Are you asleep, son?” He asked.

“No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.

“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man, “It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the $10you asked for.”

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh, thank you daddy!” He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.

“Why do you want more money if you already have some?” the father grumbled.

“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied. “Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”
