Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not; Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb;
Education will not; The world is full of educated failures.
Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent.
- Calvin Coolidge -
I have posted an article regarding how to learn English as second language in China as someone asked: “I want to improve my English,could you please give me some ideas?”
But that’s just from my experience, actually for what level your English is or what level your English will be, cheap nfl
hats, it’s completely related to how much effort you have put.
Whether you have learnt English on a regular basis? Have you made a detailed plan? Have you put it on your priority list?
I remembered in teachers’ eyes I was not a good student being selected into English Group in junior high school, which disappointed me a lot.
I also failed so many times for taking English self-taught exams while doing a full time job and taking care of my little daughter.
My English learning was always stuck at chapter one which could never move forward.
However, I kept going without stopping.
I used to recite vocabularies while I was doing housework.
I used to keep a small piece of paper with me so that wherever I went, I could read vocabularies, phrases or sentences without wasting one minute.
I used to make detailed plans for how to improve English four sections each day by focusing on listening, replica oakley sunglasses, speaking, reading and writing, which took almost all my leisure time.
After being a full-time student in China, for the first 2 years, I spent almost 10 hours a day for accumulating basic English knowledge including looking up the dictionary for all the unknown words, which was a tedious progress..
Until now, I am re-starting that habit in order to make full use of the time.
I type out beautiful English sentences, memorize it whenever I take a train, tram or wait in a queue.
Without hard work, I don’t think I was able to compete with 10 years' younger classmates and successfully won the study excellent scholarship from Latrobe Uni in Melbourne, nfl jerseys cheap, the only one student out of 40 in the class.
The Ugly truth is the majority people of my age in China who have graduated from a reputable Uni or completed an English degree.
I can’t say their English is as good as me at the moment because they stopped learning.
I don’t trust people who keep telling me how clever they are as they can get excellent marks without putting effort.
I know one guy who graduated from one famous Uni in China; you know what he’s doing in Australia? He’s living on centrelink benefit from government.
As he thinks he’s too smart to do office or labour work, he’s born of a genius.
Unfortunately, he quit a great job in China by doing nothing in Australia.
Probably he’s lack of flexibility for adapting to a new cultural environment.
So no matter what situation you are, a wonderful past doesn’t guarantee you a bright future if you don't keep update to the new things.
However, if you have ever disappointed by your past, as long as you start making a detailed plan by taking massive action with self-determination and keep persistence.
You will experience something amazing, cheap
hats, which will make you completely life changing.
Keep going, never give up, trust me, you’ll reach your goal one day.

Going to buy a bicycle
I am not so skillful for riding the bike, I have a portable bike which is small and easy control, nfl jerseys china, I have been used to ride it for some important events with my friends in this year and last year, since I have involved Triathlon sport I was told the portable bike is not allowed to play, the meaning is I have to buy a new one.
There are two kinds of brands are very popular, Specialized American is higher grade which is for the professional ironman, Giant is from Tai Wan, the price is reasonable and I can accept, for a new comer for sure Giant is suitable, before I went to the exclusive shop of Giant somewhere in JiuXianQiao I know nothing about the reference of the bike, there are many of information I need to know, checking with my senior fellow in the club, OCR series for the beginners with low speed is around 16s, TCR series for the medium level which the speed is around 20s-22s, Defy series for the long distance is surely without my regard it. Liv is new high end product only for women of Giant; the price is all over 8,000 with the speed of 30s, I was trying the one with the straight handlebar and took the photo let them check first, cheap Oakley sunglasses, surprised me that this kind of bar is not so serious in the events, the meaning is I have to buy the handle bar, the bar likes a sheep horn, my goodness, I only saw some professional riders on TV with the one, how could I control that kind of bikes. But sounds I have to be accepted it if I really want to buy. Maybe I need the time to match with it.

Some embarrassing moments
We all have embarrassing moments, especially to some people who are careless and thoughtless, just like me. Yeah, I always put myself in a tight spot,and it is very awkward.
I can't see things far away clearly, cheap nfl hats, but I really hate wearing glasses, so sometimes I will mistake the strangers into my friends. When I saw a person who is like my friend, I will say hello to her, then the girl acted like very surprised and when I went close and saw her face clearly, I will find that it was completely a different face.
Once I went to the washroom during the rest time in my high school, I saw a tall girl talking with my classmates, so I thought she is my friend. Then when she stooped down to lace up her shoes, I beat her on her head and then said,cheap oakley sunglasses, "stand up, please." just like what an antique emperor did. But when she turned around, I knew she is not my friend.
Oh my God. I really want to commit a suicide at that time. What a shame it is. I could do nothing but said sorry to her and then I run out of that washroom with an embossed face.
False identity is the most embarrassing thing to me, I don't know what's others embarrassing things like. But the majority of the embarrassing moment, I think, is caused by our own carelessness and thoughtlessness. If we pay more attention to the thing we have done, cheap jerseys, the person we have met, we can avoid many embarrassing moments.

A travel of thought
The National Day is coming soon. We are going to have seven days off. Everyone is planning their vacation cheerfully.
I am always longing for holidays. It is not only because I like to have fun, but also because following the prescribed order of life makes me confused. I could almost imagine my life after graduation if I keep following my present lifestyle. Maybe I will continue my study in another city, wholesale nfl jerseys, or I just go back to my hometown to find a steady job. And then maybe I will get married, and then finish my whole life. The whole process of my life will be very smooth as scheduled.
I often recall those old days when I was a little child. I don't have to worry about my life on those innocent days. My parents think about it for me instead. The alone future life really makes me feel scared.
I always want to escape from the reality. But I know I should go back to my live and routine.

China: A nation deserved to be understood
The phenomenon had been haunting me for more than four months and I just has some ideas and thoughts about it, I want to share them with you.
One April weekend I stayed in Shanghai continuing my Spanish lessons, I went to the class that Sunday morning and when I was about to cross the road three foreigners with conspicuous blonde hair caught my eyes. Instead of waiting for the green light,cheap nfl jerseys, they ran the red light as if there was nobody else present, but at least they remembered to walk on the zebra crossing. It was obvious that they came from Europe because they are speaking German. Since it was rather early, around 7:20 A.M, the traffic was not heavy. I was fairly confused about their behavior, wondering whether they had daltonism and if they didn't , I may deeply doubt about the "with great moral obligations " slogan the citizens of western developed countries advertise for themselves. It was ironic that when they were running red light, we Chinese are still sitting tight for the green light in an effort to meet our "lost" moral principles, this isn't fair. Moreover, I think it's incorrect to blame their behaviors to Chinese legislation, for Shanghai is implementing a highly strict traffic management system and in the next few weekends in Shanghai I had seen many travelers acting like this but none of them was Chinese citizens. At that time, I was unable to understand completely.
After my trip to Russia,cheap snapbacks, I started viewing this from a different perspective, there are possibilities that cultural differences and disparate domestic situations had led to the phenomenon. Indeed, there does not exist a traffic light on the zebra stripes as that in China. You can cross the road straight directly if no cars are coming and if there are cars, just make sure you are walking on the zebra stripes, the drivers will definitely give precedence to you. I think it's the same with other western countries. Therefore, western citizens have no idea about China's traffic rules, so they make some analogies, they may not even realize the lights and take it for granted that the cars will stop for them politely.
This is a huge mistake and thus can cause great danger here in China. When I returned to Beijing from Russia, I was not used to the traffic. Even though I crossed roads with green light, some drivers still turn right in front of me, forcing me to stop for them. I was annoyed and disappointed at first, but then I felt relieved. China is developing at a rocketing speed, everything work out at a rapid pace. Take Beijing for example, Moscow has more congestion than Beijing only because of the narrow streets. However, with those wide roads and highways, Beijing does have an extremely heavy traffic,cheap replica oakleys, the city cannot afford to wait for just a few seconds under such great pressure.
At this moment, I find out that I have known a bit more of the real China and Chinese citizens, I have to say, in spite of some exceptions, the majority of Chinese people observe law and discipline and China is a prestigious nation full of hope and enthusiasm. I take pride in my motherland, so what do you think?
