Apr 1 2012: My favorite ted talk is Matt Cutts: Try something new for 30 days. It's because I find it very inspiring. Actually, I was afraid of taking risks trying new things. But, after watching this talk, I thought, I have nothing to lose why not to try it. Also, I can say that it gave me some kind of confidence to me. So, indeed, it's very fascinating talk.
Dec 23 2011: Hi Colleen,
The poem "IF" is also one of my favorite ones.and why did not you post till the end of the poem. here it's:
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!
Dec 23 2011: Hi Mary, I am glad that you are good at remembering people's names, but that's a kind of problem to me. How do you do that? Is it natural skill or did you develop? For instance, I sometimes cannot remember people's names whom I meet several times.Thanks!
Dec 19 2011: My idea is that nobody should be able to be killed even if they make unbelievable crimes(bad crimes). There could be other types of punishments, but killing someone alse is not fair.
