Karoshi

Karoshi is Japanese work for “Death from
Overwork”. There is an engineer who works in
a hi-tech company dead few days ago. There
still many arguments in the issue. Working is
important but how about health? For me,
health is more important than my work,
because if we loose our health, everything is
meaningless.

According to the research people who suffer
from Karoshi always happened to work over
60 hours in a week, under lots of pressure
or work all day long. There are three kinds
of high risk groups that is people who work
in long hours, work in shifts, and don’t
work in regular time. They are the high risk
groups cause Karoshi. In western, they
seldom get Karoshi, because they cut their
life and work easily. Beside that, they pay
much attention to their leisure life. What is
the warning about Karoshi? Just like, having
a headache, having no appetite, hard to
catch your attention, short-tempered,
irritability, pessimistic. The weight changes
dramatically and so one.

In the busy life, we can not avoid overworking,
but we do not ignore the warming from your
body. If you feel tired, you can lay down the
work and take a rest. Doing some simple
exercise , listening to music, drinking tea
or coffee are the good ways to relax.
Appropriate rest is the best way to prevent
Karoshi.

The Reflection of Rich and Poor Dad

This book is one of my favorite book, because
its has many misconception about how to get
rich. For example: our parents always tell
us need to work hard and save money hardly
then you will become rich someday. But in
the reality life it doesn’t work and the rate
is getting lower and lower. It will be no rate
in the future.

The author has two dads. The first one is
his birth dad. He is a well educated person.
The second dad drop out when he was
eighth grade. They are diligence in their
whole life but the result is different in their
life. Although, education is very important
but the conception is more important. The
author compares different thinking
between them. For example: if they both
want to buy something. The rich dad will
say “how do I can afford it?” but the
poor dad will say “I can’t afford it” or
the rich dad say “I have child that why I get
poor and then the rich dad will say “ I have
child so I need to be a rich person”.

Personally, investment and manage money
are very important but we don’t have
enough information in our school life. It’s
a pity. Lots of people they learn the lesson
from their parents or few of them have their
own thinking. The author say : Rich and
Poor both can inherit. How do you think?

The Reflection of Christchruch Earthquake

The earthquake struck Christchurch few

days ago. It was horrible. The building

crumbled into the street. There are still

many people missing or dead in the rubble.

The victims are over hundreds of people.

We see a scene of devastation every where.

They may loose their parents, siblings,

relatives or friends at the moment.

We are all afraid of earthquakes but how

do we protect ourselves in an earthquake.

Here are some tips: 1. Keep calm. Watch

out for falling objects. 2. Move to an open

area away from trees, buildings or signs.

3. Stay outdoors. 4. If we are in the car,

stop engine and keep the radio on. Taiwan

is set on earthquake belt. We need to know

how to protect us.

People who sometimes complain about

their work, family or something but we are

the luckiest people, because we born in an

abundant country. We have dear parents,

siblings, and lots of sweet friends. We are

used to live in happiness and take it for

granted. We need to precious our life and

enjoy it. Life is short. I always take my life

seriously. For me, I full of the passion and

keep curious in my life.

My Good Friends

I have three kinds of good friends that are

friends who are frankly, tolerant and wisely.

Luckily, I have three good friends who are

frankly, tolerant and wisely. They have different

meaning for me.

The first friend I would like to thank

for her frankly. She always tells me the true.

We hard to get the truth in our life but get

many white lies. She knows that not what I want.

I would like to know the true then improve and

challenge it. Sometimes the truth is cruelly

but I still choice face it. As the proverb goes “

Don’t cry for spilt milk.” It’s one of my

favorite motto. The second good friend I would

like to thank for her tolerant. We have blue

mood sometime but she can comfort me and give

me some opinion. The third friend I would like

to thank for his wisely. He always tells me

the knowledge that I have never know from

politics, economy to financial affairs. He

always makes me feel surprised.

There are many friends in our life.

We can learn the different merits from different

person. Then, make the self-examination. Hope

I can become better and better in my future.

Chinese New Year of 2011

I get much happiness this Chinese New Year.

I went to visit my grandma and my relatives.

We almost haven’t seen each other for almost

one year. Some of them are going to get merry

this year. I give them my best wishes. My

aunts prepared a big lunch for us. They’re

really good at cook. I put on 2 kilos this winter

vacation so I’ll decide to go health club more

often after Chinese New Year.

Speaking of Chinese New Year, I went to

Feng Chia Night Market as well. Fortunately,

there wasn’t so crowded at that time. We

just walked around there and then went to

see our friend who own a restaurant. He

didn’t open the restaurant that day, so he

spent some time to prepare a big meal for

my friend and me. The life in Taichung make

an impression on me. For examples, there

aren’t crowd in Taichung. Furthermore,

the buildings and roads are much bigger

than Taoyuan and the people are fewer

than Taoyuan. No wonder, many people

say Taichung is one of the place that suit

people to live.

To sum up, I have a good time during

Chinese New Year. It is going to school

opens. I feel both happy and sad. Because

I’m going to see my lovely classmate

but I need to finish my winter vacation

assignment. Hope everyone has a prosperity

and successfully new year.
