Well, proverbs, it seem like hard to understand some of them, I think to understand a proverb, you should infer what is the under line meaning of it, sometime it is hard. Anyway I prefer No.6 Write the bad things that are done to you in sand, but write the good things that happen to you on a piece of marble. if you write the bad things on the sand, sea will bring them away. However, if you write the good things on a piece of marble, you remember that things when you see the marble. it means that you should remember the good memory and forget the bad memory, so time flew, you will only remember good things and forget about bad things. That lifestyle could keep you a good mood cause you only remember good things. That is also one of my codes I try to follow.

I want talk about another story. Have you ever heard about the story about Siddhartha Gautama, which is called Sakyamuni too, feed a eagle by himself ? that is another interesting about Buddhism, it quite long so I will just mention here if you really want to know you could click the link below and read that story.

    I disagree that proverb because if you forget the bad things easily, you might make the same mistakes agian. I think to remember the bad things is also important. Life is complicated.

    Interesting point Yuki... it says the bad things 'that are done to you'. Does that make a difference? maybe we can learn from our mistakes without holding on too tightly to the bad things others do to us or say about us.

Do not expected this story will be interesting and attractive enough to read!! The night was cold and dark in the wild island. Stephanie woke up and felt severely headache. She sat up and tried to realize where is her warm and comfortable bed and her roof, because she could see the sparkling stars in the sky. "where am I ?" That's the first question jumped out in her mind. She was supposed to sleep in the bed and had a sweet dream.  She thought that she would not gone to work tomorrow because it is 4 th  of July.  Suddenly, she nipped her arm and felt painful. "it's not dream, but how could I get to this place?" Stephanie tried to remember what happened but her brain did  not work  well at that moment . The hard she tried  to get her memory , the more pai n appeared in her brain. " What the hell is going on? " Stephanie asked. But no one responded. Stephanie  cursed and  looked around and wanted to find anything to looked up to sky...

Hello everyone! My name is Yaokai Deng, I come from China. All of my friend called me Travis, so please called me Travis. I'm here for improving my English and preparing for my master degree. I think I am a cheerful and easy-going person who also could bring some fun, but I follow that rule called“eye for an eye”which mean I might be passive in the relationship. My interest is sport and traveling(if I have money) and do funny things. Maybe its because of nature adventure ? Some of my friend may know my favorite basketball team is Cleveland cavaliers ,and I'm the big fan of LeBron James. Also I like to work out and to play basketball. If you go to gym, we might meet there because I work out and play some sports almost everyday. Last 2 week, I went to sky diving with my friends, If you guys want to know where and how to get there, just ask me.
