treasure time

The picture of melting clock shown in class gave me a deep impression. It warned us time is disappearing quietly. to own a meaningful life,we should treasure time.

sometimes time acts like a drop of water hides in the ocean.it is too little to notice.Thus we easily ignore it.However,in our limited life,time acts like a millionaire,he is s so mean that even we beg,he won't give us any favor.

i still remember when i was a kid, our teacher always worn us--"time is like the gold, but we can never buy it with gold."at that time,i was too naive to understand the sentence. All i know is that i am a little kid,i have a plenty of time to use.
yet actually, i am wasting my time as wasting my life. every time when we tear a day on calender,we are losing one day in our life.

There is a popular saying--time is money. but in my opinion, time is more than money.
for instance,a scientist can make a big contribution if they can get inspiration at any time. let's see if a scientist is watching a football game. while watching,he tries to connect the game situation together with his Rational analysis in order to indicate the possible development. during this process, his Rational and emotional thought get trained. Thus,his creative idea will benefits from it and lead to a big contribution.
secondly, the importance of time can be proved in business area. there are lots of business opportunities offered for people. if they manage the time properly, they will easily get the opportunities and win their business. time management is a key factor to the successful business.
what's more,time is also a significant factor in the war period. who catch the right time, who would win the final victory. At the end of world war II, no matter how powerful Germany was, they would still be a loser under the strong offensive from united countries.
The final example i want to list is the life-saving moment. in the hospital, life-saving is a every-minute-count task.in such arduous situation, even one minute later will cause the death.

however, there are lots of people don't know how to value time and use it to obtain more worthy things.
take gambling for example.you may be a big winner on the poker table, yet meanwhile, you lost your time, health and self-esteem.and the same thing goes for various gamers.those people never notice the importance of time. they chose to waste time and life.

yet to the success, they always understand the weighty of time and use it well.
when people are sinking themselves into the TV shows,scientists may completely concentrate on their research in lab; when people are still lying in bed, athletes may already finish their morning training.

time is important to everyone, we should treasure it as invisible assets and use it to enrich our lives.

please remember the famous saying:"treasure time is treasure our own lives!"

my UI moon festival

Moon festival is also called Mid-autumn festival,a traditional festival in China. People regard this day as a reunion day,family members all gather together at this moment and enjoy the wonderful scene of the "Fifteenth of the Eighth Moon". But the most attracting thing for me is eating moon cake while chatting with families. Anyway, such festival should be a story between us and our family.
Yesterday is 2009 moon festival, however, for those students who study abroad like me would never get chance to sit beside our families. Considering such situation, we find our won way to celebrate. Last night in UI, the students from CSSA held the mid-autumn gala,the grand show of the most fascinating traditional and modern Chinese arts, and much more. there were lots of Chinese people came there even from NY, LA... everywhere in USA. Of cause, some of our American friends also came to watch the show even they can't understand Chinese at all. It's just like a big reunion !
There are some great shows I want to share with you here, for a beautiful memory of my first moon festival in UI.
The first one i want to introduce to you is Kongfu, which origins from China. Yet now, it on longer just belongs to Chinese, instead, Kongfu begins to popular all around the world.In our IL area, there is a Kongfu school which organized by an American, and lots of Americans as well as Chinese come there to study Kongfu. On the stage, they showed fit kick,strike, tumble,hold, cleave, etc.They are so amazing that i was totally attracted by the skills they obtained. from the children to adults, i can see the passion and spirit for Kongfu. Their instructor used to stay in china more than 5 years and learn Kongfu in ShaoLinShi, a mysterious place for higher level of kongfu pursuing. at the last session of the show, he had shown us his strong body which can against with weapons.
The second show which impressed me a lot is the Rock band show--HuoyuanJia. Such name belongs to one of chinese Kongfu heroes. In order to present Chinese spirit, our band played the song to sing his praises. During the play, they are trying to blend western music elements into Chinese folk music, using guitar, drum as well as erhu fiddle,xiao(a vertical bamboo flute),and complied them together naturally. And the two singers wore dresses of Tang Dynasty with red fan waving up and down, which give me a sense of proud.
And the last show i want to take you in is our special video clips--the Memory Of Moon Festival. Video makers collected many pictures and photos taken in China, form climbing Great Wall to making our favorite food, form celebrating graduation ceremony to traveling with our friends, from sleeping in parents' arms to helping them cooking...i was totally moved at that moment and lose my self in the memory of my days in China.
I miss my home a lot, however, I have more passion and enterprise for the fighting in UI.
