Do not envy others There is a fable like this. The pig said that he would like to be a cow with a good reputation, though the job was tough. The cow said that he would prefer to be a pig so that he could do nothing except eating and sleeping. We always envy other people’s things involuntarily. For example, jobs, houses and cars. The only thing we ignore is that we are also the objects whom others envy. The world is not perfect and every coin has two sides. The persons whom we envy are bearing their difficulties as well. People like to pursue perfectness and live better. Actually, what we neglect is that each person’s situation is different, so it is hardly to copy. However, we may improve ourselves by observing others’ advantages. As a result, do not envy others, instead, to cherish what we have. Then we will find that what we own is much more than what we don’t have. The missing part is not lovely but still part of our life. The life will become more enjoyable if we accept it and treat it well.

Who you think you are? A camel went across a desert with difficulties. However, a fly bent over the back of the camel and went through the desert too. The fly laughed at the camel, “Thank you for your effort to take me here. Goodbye!” The camel glanced at the fly and said, “I didn’t realize that you were on my back. You don’t have to say goodbye when you leave because you are weightless. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Who you think you are?” A simple story tells us, we must learn to know ourselves. Everyone is important in the world. But the earth still turns if anyone leaves. Don’t take ourselves too seriously may be a status of maturity and we can live more healthy with that.

Macau Tower I visited Macau Tower on December the 8th with two friends. With no doubt, it was absolutely a stunning experience. When climbing up to the highest floor to overlook the panoramic view of Macau, I was kind of scared though I don't have acrophobia. Then we had buffet lunch at 360 degrees revolving restaurant on 60th floor. The restaurant spun too slowly to be awared of. It was indeed a feast for the eyes to enjoy different angles of scenic views while eating tasty food. The most exciting part was to see courageous folks who tried bungee jump, whatever men or women. I have seen this extreme sport on television before. However, I got total different feeling when I saw it at short range. I hardly didn’t dare to close eyes, or I would miss the most incredible moment that the daredevils plummetted toward the ground from nearly 800 feet in the air. Are you a real man or woman? It perhaps is the best show time to prove it. Hehe! Compared to HongKong, Macau is a much smaller city with slow life pace. Cars, buses run slowly, and even people walk leisurely. I think it is a suitable place for retirement. The trip was tiring because it was only a day trip, but it doesn’t matter. I deeply believe that the most attractive thing of travel is to experience personally, not how long the trip is.

HongKong Ocean Park Last week, I went to HongKong Ocean Park with my friends. It was the first time I have been to a theme park. I visited many chilly friends such as penguins, walrus and sea lions. It was absolutely a unique close experience to encounter with polar animals and it enabled me to discover the hidden diversity of the north and south poles in one day. Riding the Peak Tram to overlook the Victoria Harbor was an unforgettable experience. The pure water and blue sky made up a beautiful picture. How peaceful! The most impressive part is the Ocean Theatre Sea Dreams. Ocean Park’s talented marine mammals and trainers presented a heartwarming and delightful spectacular about the dream of how human and animals could live together with love and respect. Our journey ended up on the roller coaster called Arctic Blast. I held my hands high and screamed “aaaaaaaaaaaa” loudly though it was scary. At that moment, I felt eased and free. The Ocean Park is an amazing paradise for both kids and adults definitely. Further more, it calls us to preserve the environment through the close contact between humans and animals. I enjoyed this trip very much. Next time I want to visit HongKong Disney and I hope this dream will come true soon. ^_^

I enjoy travelling "I am broke now, I will go when I have money”, "I am engaged in business, I will go when I have time”. Stop making excuses. In fact, if you want to travel, you only need a brave heart, a backpack and then go ahead. When you are walking on the way, experiences can deposit your temperament. Moreover, wider knowledge may expand your breadth of mind. I am keen on travelling, though I don’t have enough money or time. Travel is tiring, but it is worthy.It is a kind of poison which enables people to get addictived to it and I admit that I have been an addict. I am making all efforts to save more money and I am trying my best to make more spare time. I am looking forward to my next journey, although I haven't known my next destination yet.

An Escaped Sheep In New Zealand, a sheep ran away from home because it felt bad or for other reasons. Consequently, it hid itself in a cave and stayed there for six years. When people found it, the sheep’s wool had been accumulated as heavy as 60 pounds, equivalently 20 pieces of woolen clothes. The sheep became famous, even having the chance to be met by the premier. It is supposed that a wolf has no interest in that sheep when it sees such thick wool, isn’t it? Haha!

This picture cracks me up This picture interests me. An old grandma makes her grandson angry because of some reasons. As a result, she speaks some honey words to beg his forgiveness, "Don’t angry, ok? Chocolate? Cookies or brownies? I will give you all as long as you like. Come on, smile! I love little animals, especially cats. Whenever I see a cat in the street, I always stop my steps and say hello to them, hehe, sounds a little bit silly. Most cats have similar appearances, but different characters. Some are quiet while others are wild, just like human beings. I think that is the reason why they are sooo favorable.

The Pearl River Cruise In my city Guangzhou, there is a well-known river called “the Pearl River”. I went on the Pearl River Cruise with my friend last night. To tell you more, there is a landmark and symbol construction called “Guangzhou Tower”. Actually, it is the name of Guangzhou New Television Tower. In addition to that, it is the domestic first tower whose elevation is 600 metres and it has been titled a beautiful nickname "small pretty waist". The night cruise went across the tower and I viewed new Guangzhou’ scenery. Feeling the breeze and seeing the fine views, it was so nice! If you visit Guangzhou, you shouldn't miss the Guangzhou Tower. For reminding, you had better visit it at night because there is not any decorative lighting in the day.

Newborn Calves Are Not Afraid Of Tigers In South Africa, a lion mother went across the road with her son. Then the little lion who hadn’t seem the outside world stopped in the middle of the street and showed his pride towards a group of cars. Consequently, all people were astonished by this scene. At the end, the lion mother held his son in her mouth and took him back to the grass. Everything seems to return tranquil. Hehehe, the little lion was soooo cute! ^_^ There is a Chinese old saying called “初生牛犊不怕虎", I am not sure its proper translation into Chinese. Anyway, it means newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. To conclusion, nothing fears nothing.

A Story Of The Hat Seller And The Monkeys Today, I read a story that I have never heard. Let me tell you. It is about a hat seller who takes a nap under a tree. But get this, when he wakes up, a troop of monkeys has stolen his hats. He gets angry and throws the hat he is wearing to the ground. Can you guess what is going to happen? The monkeys copy and throw their hats to the ground too. As a result, the hat seller gets his hats back. You think that is the whole story? No. Wait, you haven't heard the end. Years later, his grandson sleeps under the same tree. The monkeys steal his hats. When he wakes up, he screams, shouts at them and throws his hats to the ground as his grandfather tells him. However, the monkeys don't throw the hats to the ground. Instead, they pick up his hat. And I will tell you why. The monkeys laugh at him and say that they have grandfathers too! I really like this story. Do you?
