Actually,these day I have been deeply affected in a negative mind,and follow people to complain.But when I analyse myself,I realized that something is not that serious,and we shoule learn to understand people on her position.if some bad things can't change,then just adjust to it and try to be happy.The god father in the 《Desperate Wives》said to Bree:Looking at things that have been taken away is a bad way to go through life.Yes,time will be happier if you concern about what you got or will get instead of what you lost.the emotions,feelings,that all depend on myself. Our manager comes to factory from Hangzhou again,this time she will stay for a long time.and there are some great changes in our company this time.In front of the changes and some essential reasons,I began to tidy up my thoughts from all of a mess. Don't take things too serious,it is nothing but a floating cloud.I always take things too serious before,especially others' opinion,I think I am harsh on myself,and can't bear someone's bad remark,so I always seek to please others to get a perfect impression on me,even I am unpleased.So I am bad at speaking out myself,and take too serious of others' opinion.This is a fatal weakness of me,I don't know how to deal with people and things in work and life.Actually,the confilcts in work and colleague are not that important and terrific.You can't escape some disagreement and disputs at all,and all of these contradictions in work is brief,including the human relations.Disputes will be ease with the problem solved,and you must believe,no matter how hard the problem is,it must be solved finally.So don't put yourself harsh,don't put deep emotions with everyone and everything related to work,especially these person who is not on your line,you can neglect their eyes.You must know,you can't be perfect in everyone's eyes. So,work,just to serve and do,solve problem.When facing problems,be positive,problems must be solved at last.Don't live in other people's eyes,try to be yourself.Just catch the most important things in yr life,such as:intimated friends,lover,parents and relatives.These will be someting permanent,and worth your pain and worry.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup has ended its group stages,and already started its 1/8 knockout stages this morning. I am not even a biased fan at all this year before,and almost know nothing about soccer and World cup,i don't understand why so many people are so fantical about this compaign. But now,this year,i understand,deeply! Thanks to my work,I need to know the match information timely and apply it to my work content.From the beginning match schedule to the splendid course of the game,I am deeply appealed to the World Cup.Now, I will wath at least one match video every day! I think the charm of World Cup is far more than a TV Series,it's a fierce reality show ,it will always take you by surprise,you'll never know the result until the last second.You may leave the court with the defeated humiliation even you were once the trophy king;you can also be respected by the world through an outstanding performance even you are only a small country.There are unexpected result、surprise;there are gathering and seperation;success and failure;ecstasy and tears;splendidness and trash;and even exists some kind of unfair.This is soccer,and this is life. I will never forget the time that the spanish was defeated by Chile and have to go home after just two matches,followed by another two European teams:The Italy and England;I will never forget Cristiano Ronaldo's lonely figure and sad eyes when he fought himself to save the Portugal but failed;I will never forget Messi's wildly run and heartily smile after his each goal;I will also not forget the Robin Van Persie's goal like a diving fish shot out of the water;I will definitely never forget Neymar's cry on the soccer field after the difficult penalties victory against Chile. And you'll find out,life is just like a World Cup.Life is like a world cup,sometimes your victory can not prove your excellence,maybe it's just because your opponents are not strong enough;on the contrary,you are eliminated in advance,it also can not prove you are not excellent,maybe you just meet the strong opponents or some other factors; Life is like a world cup,there are victory,and also failure,you'll never know what will happen in your next match,so enjoy the victory but not arrogant,face the failure but not give up; Life is like a world cup,you must obey the rules to gain success; Life is like a world cup,you'll never expect a perfect person,there is no telling what time you'll find the" god" you worship maybe something like the annoying biting Luis Suarez or someone who lead a dissolute personal life,so don't be so serious; At last ,we have to accept the cruel truth of "winner takes all",and life——this referee who is sometimes not so fair. Life is like a world cup! (Expecting the following fiercing battle in the kickout stages!Fighting!)

Last day in May,and here comes our thrilling Chinese international holidays——The Dragon Boat Festival!Hapyy weekend、Happy Children‘s Day and Happy Dragon Boat Festival,Guys! Yesterday,I have been struggling with "how should I spend my three holidays" all day long. I was so eager to travel to Ruoergai Prairie which is a famous wetland in China,but i was also deeply worried about the heavy traffic jam on the way. As you know,in each international holiday in China,you'll always see the spectacular "People mountain people sea" scenery.meanwhile,I also felt it will be a real pity and waste of holiday if i don't go anywhere during the three holidays.It's really hard to choose,at last ,I gave up. I decided to deal with my personal things and meet my long time no see aunt's family,and find another weekend to travel the prairie avoiding the peak time. Let's just have a review of some "spectacular" traffic jam and crowds sceneries in past Chinese international holidays: (traffic jam) (People moutain people sea on the Great Wall in the international chinese holiday some year) (crowds of people in the Forbidden City)I think these "spectacular" are horrible, so i hesitate and felt frustrated to decide. How about you?how will you spend your three days this holiday?During the Chinese international holiday,what will you choose to do?to travel in a traffic jam or just stay at home to avoid the heavy traffic jam and large number of people ?

The Qingyang Palace

2014-05-21

Today I want to introduce a famous Taoist Temple in west Sichuan Province,China —— The “Qingyang Palace”,Have you ever heard of it? Qingyang Palace is the first Taoist Temple in West Sichuan Province,located in the downtown of Chengdu,the capital city of Sichuan Province.According to the legend,Qingyang Palace began in the Zhou Dynasty(1046 B.C.——256 B.C).Once it was the refuge of two emperors in the Tang Dynasty(618 -907), one is Emperor Xuanzong who was to escape the "Rebellion of An lushan and Shi siming";and one is Emperor Xizong who was to escape the "Rebellion of Huangchao".So Qingyang Palace had flourishing development at that period of Tang Dynasty,at the late Tang Dynasty,Qingyang Palace has been the biggest and the most influential Taoist temple in Sichuan Province.The Qingyang Palace begins from a mountain gate,the "Qingyang Palace" golden-lettered plaque is the calligraphy of a county magistrate in Huayang,Chengdu named “An hongde”.The ticket is 10 Yuan for each person,and people who sells the ticket is dressed up in Taoist nun.The peace in mind seems begin from that moment which you receive your ticket from the "nun".Comparing to the noisy and bustle streets out side the temple,it is another peaceful world as long as you pass through the gate.The first palace you see when you get to Qingyang Palace is the "Hunyuan"palace,it is the second most important palace in the Qingyang Palace.Tthe supreme god of Taoist --named "Taishanglaojun"in Chinese is enshrined in it.At the rear of the palace,it enshrines another god which is well-known in Buddhism as god "Guanyin",she is the only god who is enshrined both in the Taoist and Buddhism Temple.The Bagua (gossip)pavillion,which is symbolic construction in Qingyang Palace;Sanqing Palace——Palace of three immortals,which enshrines three supreme gods of Taoist in it is the most important palace in Qingyang Palace.There are a bell and a drum in front of the "Sanqing"palace, when it is the first day or 15th day of the Lunar Year each month, or any auspicious ceremony,it will bell and drum.They are the famous two bronze sheeps,which are the signature of Qingyang palace!It is said that the left sheep has the characteristic of twelve animals in the chinese Zodiac:the sheep's beard、cow's body、chicken's ear,etc.According to your animal sign,touch the sheep's relative part with your left hand,you'll get goodluck.So the must thing a person visit the Qingyang Palace is to touch this magical sheep. Attention is :with your left hand.The Taoist takes "left"as "honor". Don't put your hands together when worship the god,Taoist has different style from the Buddhism.The guide will teach you how to worship when entering the palace. So much about the Qingyang Palace,hope you like it.

Maybe I should best write this topic on the "World Smile Day" early. To be honest, I actually got a lot of feelings about smile on that day,and want to write it down,but the work is busy,you know it... Smile is a kind of mood when we were child,while it becomes a kind of expression when we grow up;Time takes our happiness away,smile becomes a way of survive;There are lots of fake things in the word,but the sincere smile is truly the nearest distance between people;Don't let your smile become fake ,as times gone by,let smile be the last gift for us——written by Sucen on her micro-blog on the "World Smile Day". Do you remember your last smile?When?Certainly,I mean the smile from all your heart. Smile is natural when we were a child ,we'll smile as long as we were happy;how about now?We becomes more anxiety 、impatient and unconcerned in front of the trivial daily life . We are worried and smile less.Smile was originally the instinct of a man,and then you surprisingly find it even requires a kind of "ability" to smile. Once a time, I came to a dental hospital,the staff who is responsible for the registration unexpectedly smile to me and kindly remind me if I were a little later,i'll miss the registration.I deeply be moved at that moment,and feel so happy all that day for this kind smile.As you know,in the chinese hospital, whether the doctor、nurse or the common staff seldom smille to the patients.Certainly hospital is a special place,what I want to say is that :look,people's smile is so important,and it even can make you happy for all day long! I always think a person's behavior reveals its heart.if a person smile often,i believe he/she loves its life and be kind to others. People who smile much don't mean that he/she can't experience hard time,but they understand they should smile when facing the hard life.It is just the positive and optimistic attitude about life makes them stronger,and at the meanwhile influence us facing life with smile. You see,Smile is not a kind of expression,it also a positive and optimistic attitude facing life.Let's smile more ,not only on our face,but also in our heart.
