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.

Evvironmental Problems

The environmental problem is getting bad to
worse. Many countries have policies to conduct
environmental protection. Environment
protection has been an important task for us,
due to environment problems affect our living.
The environment problems affected the world.
Just like water pollution, Acid rain, air
pollution, global warming, overpopulation
and rain forest destruction. Personally, I
think air pollution and water pollution is
the most serious problem in the world.



The factors about air pollution are industry,
agricultural and traffic. Especially the
combustion from industry and transportations
are extremely damage to the air. Industrial
emitted the chemical air pollution. The
combustion emitted the toxic substances.
The factories emitted toxic gases in the air.
In the atmosphere these chemicals can deploy
with amount of toxic substances. That’s will
affects ecosystem and have negative affect to
our health. On the other hand transportations
are the other main point of release carbon
dioxides into the air. However, wind will
transport compounds and the pollution will
become very disperse. Rain can remove
pollutants from the air. It will causes further
pollution.



Water pollution is chemical physical or biological
change in the quality of water which has a
harmful effect for drinking or using. When we
drink polluted water it is not good for our health.
What effect water pollution? There are many
factors, the most serious factor is come from
factories. During the manufacturing processes
produce a lot of harmful substances. The
cheapest way to disposal the sewage is dumping
the chemical substances into the sea. Then,
the sea will flow to the stream and lake.
Sewage, garbage, and even toxic pollutants are
all dumped into the water which is sent out into
the sea and kill all the sea wildlife in the area.
On the other hand, transport ships spilt the oil
about1-10 billion tons into the sea per year. It
has negative influence on water life and the
farmer will use it to irrigate the crops. Moreover,
the industry emitted amount of acidify gases.
These gases also dissolve in rainwater. That is
why rain with a lower PH due to dissolved
industrial emission. is call acid rain.



Complete environmental protection seems
impossible at this current life but many
products can recycle, even electronics such
as computer. Another way to protect
environmental is to use eco friendly cleaning
products. They are little more expensive
but it’s worth to use. Reduce, reuse and
recycle is the way to make a big difference
for the environment, Many environmental
groups use them as a mantra. These three
words could help people handle waste,
which is currently a big problem on Earth.
Save the environment is our responsibility.
We need to save our resource to our next
generation.

My Lovely Dog, Doo-Doo.

I have a dog. His name is Doo-Doo. He accompany

with me for almost 5 years. I love him so much.

When I am in blue mood, he always looks at

me and snuggles with me. As if, he knows my

sadness. When I am happy, he always jumps

up and down. As if he celebrates something.

When I feel along, he always support me to

overcome the problems. Although he can’t

speak human language, but I know he cares

about me and love me so much. Thanks for

your genuineness and accompany.
