The Successful Story is Still On

Leonard’s success was been known since last summer when his autobiography I am one of them was published in Canada. It was a story of a business man in his 50s, who has mounted the peak of his career. A great number of outstanding businessmen and those who are still striving for their success are attracted by the glamour of this book, which became the best seller shortly after the publication. Some people think this is a legend for men while other hold the story is just one the ordinary successful story.

One of the readers of I am one of them wrote a review reads the author Leonard is enjoying his fortune in the business world and that is what he deserves. Leonard’s story is an impulse for those who believe success is not far away and can be achieved by ordinary people. Obviously, this book sets a nice example and encourages young people to seek their own fortune in anything. However, another read Lesley think this story seems a bit old-fashioned to the modern reader, and at first he may regard it merely as a short story about a business man.

Well, I have to stop that nonsense now. Let’s see how Leonard gets his success. In Leonard’s successful business career, he rose to the top of the executive ladder with his great effort, made lots of money and enjoyed an opulent lifestyle. He was not widely known by us for his immediate sphere of influence until his autobiography I am one of them. Anyway, his impact has been felt. He is successful and he is a leader now.

In this book, Leonard mentioned that his bosses once praised his leadership in communication and social activities. He has an unspeakable ability to make his workforce convinced by his good humor and cheerful disposition. Do you know, he was working for a group of people who was younger than him? Leonard confessed later in the book, he really thanked for these people’s guidance and mentorship. In Leonard’s former company which deals with electronics productions, his team was always the first one to win the first place in competition and once got the most sales volume of lithium battery. According to his leading and effort in team building, a lot of clients rushed to his company and became loyal clients of his company.

Later, about 5 year ago, he left this company, reclined the extra pay rise offered by CEO, and set up his own company in another city. Having much experience of this electronic field, Leonard felt less hard to start his own business with his wisdom and effort. Nowadays, he has opened 5 chain stores in Canada and one of which offers DIY service and assistance for customers. They can make stylish electronic production and electronic accessories themselves in that store. Youngsters, especially girls like to make their own iphone cases there with their pretty photos.

This successful story is still on his Leonard’s life, perhaps it is the start.

The Hidden Mystery in Egypt

As is known that Egypt is famous for The Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only one to survive into modern times, anyway, there are other places that are worth being visited, such as Karnak Temple. I took a 4-day journey in Egypt last year, visited the city Cairo and Karnak Temple instead of the The Great Pyramid of Giza.

My journey in Egypt starts from the second day with a girl from the next door saying "Hi" and asking where I am from. Driving to Cairo together, we had wonderful meal in an Authentic Egyptian Restaurant. It was meat, but I was not sure what kind of meat it was, anyway, it tasted good and was accompanied by a selection of dips and pita bread.

We set out together to Egyptian Museum in the afternoon. That museum contains all authentic pieces of Egyptian antiquities except for the Rosetta stone, which England owns and won’t give back. Cairo Street leaves impression on me. There was an incredible amount of artifacts from King Tutankhamen’s tomb. In the jewel room there were gold coffins, a gold mask and a number of other items. Unfortunately, it is prohibited to take photos in the museum. Things in the market are really attractive enough, and I bought a mini led flashlight.

Back to the hotel, I was planning to Karnak Temple the following day and remembered to put extra lithium batteries for my digital camera. Then I got up early the next day, enjoyed a small breakfast of three types of bread before getting out.

The third day I headed out to the Karnak Temple. Located in Luxor, Egypt on the East Bank of the Nile River, Karnak Temple is one of the largest temples complexes ever constructed in the world. It is said that the Great Hypostyle Hall is probably the most famous section, which contains 134 massive columns. These columns are very wide, which I failed to put my arms around but get neck strains while gazing at the tops. Looking around, you may wonder how this ancient building which was built about 1,000 years after the pyramids can survive for such a long time. When wondering between the high columns, only the color blonde jumps into your eyes and all the mysterious sceneries make you feel like having a time travel to the ancient times. As a matter of fact, you cannot miss the sunrise in Karnak Temple. By getting up earlier, you can immerse yourself into this exotic environment, lean on the large columns with mysterious symbol and pictures on it, and enjoy the strange code this place is telling you. Serene is everywhere with you then. A few palms are strewn along the lake band, which look like books that record the history of Karnak Temple. Enough photos were got that day.

I cannot wait anymore after returning to the hotel to upload those photos to my blog through my usb device and share them with my family in Australia.

Christchurch Is Still a Beautiful City in My Mind

I am sure you have been informed that Christchurch suffered a 6.3magnitude earthquake on this Tuesday afternoon, the local time. This earthquake, according to the newspaper I read yesterday, is the country’s biggest disaster in the last 8 decades. The rescue team in Christchurch is striking to search for those lost in the wreckage. Apart from this, foreign rescue team workers arrived to join the search in Christchurch before the time is running out for survivors. Anyway, the chance to find survivor is rather slim. Not only is the people who are still in the wreckage but also their relatives suffering great pain. You cannot believe the damage in this city, which was once a beautiful place when I visited it last year.

Located the east coast of the South Island, Christchurch has all the amenities of a modern city, just like any city in America. You can see people wear stylish clothes walking in the street with a fashionable iphone cover in hand; you will also feel that Christchurch is a regional center. Its famous Gothic revival cathedral, grey-stone nineteenth century buildings, tree-lined avenues and extensive leafy parks have preserved the grace and charm of an earlier era, which has been attracting tourists all over the world for ages. Spending a whole day in this featured place, visitors are able to enjoy such exotic scenery.

Christchurch is alive with bright color, atmosphere and world-class attractions, which is also a graceful city that values its culture and heritage, but offers a year round range of fresh and exciting adventures and activities. The city is full of delights, from the beautiful neo-gothic Arts Centre, to the historic tram which loops the city centre, to the Christchurch Gondola and unique attractions like the International Antarctic Centre. The shopping is superb and the restaurants are a celebration of fresh, natural New Zealand foods and fine wines. Great shopping malls in Christchurch are no difference from that in any modern cities. A variety of electronic items can be found easily such as cell phone, mp3 player, flash drives, and emergency battery. If you have more interests in little gizmos, then the small stores in the streets are the ideal places for you. I bought several flashlights with unusual design.

Noted for its high achievement in gardening, Christchurch is also a perfect place for events and festivals. Whatever the season you come to visit, you'll find a non-stop program of entertainment with events like the Festival of Romance, winter Arts Festival, and Showtime Canterbury in November. These exotic festivals leave deep impression on you; on the other hand, it will be regretful if you miss them.

It is pretty convenient in Christchurch as it contains one of the two main international airports for the country, and is connected via a tunnel to a seaport at Littleton on Bank's Peninsula. It is widely regarded as the Gateway to the South Island and is the perfect place to base your New Zealand holiday. I suggest you spend much time on the things that surround you and take enough photos as I spent time on sightseeing rather than taking photos last year.

Obsessed with Chinese Culture through Chinese Tea

Do you drink tea? Do you know where tea comes from?

China is known as the birthplace of tea and history of tea culture. I never thought that I could approach to this before until I took a journey in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province of China. Nowadays, many Chinese people begin to learn about the tea culture to access to elegance, and tea has become one of the famous beverages all over the world. Foreigners turn up their thumb to this drink and speak highly of it. And the National Tea Museum in Hangzhou is a nice place presenting tea culture and Chinese culture to us foreigners.

Following the pretty guide with one of the mini speakers in her hand, we arrived at a museum that is fraught with tea theme. The special design left deep impression for everyone here. Moreover, a lot of Chinese characters enchased in the road made you feel exotic and impressive. That was the first time that I though Chinese culture is so great, and I found I fell in love with it from then on. Neither as mysterious as Egyptian culture nor as modern as American culture, Chinese culture impresses with its long history.

Chinese tea, as one of the characters in Chinese culture, is classified into approximately five categories according to the different methods by which it is processed.

1.Green Tea. Green tea keeps original color of the tea leaves without fermentation during processing.
2.Black Tea. Black tea is fully fermented before baking and developed on the basis of the green tea.
3.Wulong Tea. This represents the tea that is half way between the green and the black teas, being made after partial fermentation. It is a specialty from the provinces on China's southeast coast: Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan.
4.Compressed Tea. This kind of tea black looks in color in its commercial form and is compressed and hardened into a certain shape. Most of them are in the form of bricks or bowls, or cakes. Therefore, it is good for transport and storage and travelers prefer to wholesale some and take back. Compressed tea is mainly produced in Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces.
5.Scented Tea. This kind of tea is made by mixing fragrant flowers in the tea leaves through the course of processing. The flowers commonly used for this purpose are jasmine and magnolia among others. Jasmine tea is a well-known favorite with the northerners of China and with a growing number of foreigners. Scented tea is particularly popular among mid-aged people.

Chinese tea, along with silk and porcelain, is well-known in the world for hundreds of years and has been an important Chinese envoy introducing Chinese culture. Thanks for this travel, I have to admit that I have been obsessed with Chinese culture though the unique Chinese tea. At the end of this travel, I bought a souvenir-a VCD introducing the history of Chinese tea, which can be transformed and shared with my friends by pen drive.

Understand What Wellington Brings to Us

Every time I recall my travel with friends in Wellington, New Zealand, I cannot help tasting the beautiful sceneries and happy hours once again. Perhaps it is because that was my first travel. For everyone that stands on an unfamiliar land for the first time, he must be attracted by the most natural things. I was no exception. Sunshine stretches its arms to every corner of it on sunny days, appears on the drowsy look of people wandering along the beach; pigeons pick up the crumbs kids dropped on the square with less notice of passersby while some elderly persons whisper with breeze softening this serene picture.

The panorama in Cook Strait urged we took hundreds of photos on the third day when we arrived. And thanks for the powerful lithium batteries, I could keep such beauty in my camera and then share it with my family when back. Aboard the Inter Islander ferry, we had seen the faint hues of the sun and reached the glare of the open sea; our eyes fell closed in anticipation of a new island.

You fail to explain the beauty of Wellington because it is natural. Nestled in the heart of a glorious harbor, Wellington is on the battered sea fringes of the world but equally at the center of it too. A blend of culture approached me since tried to explore its beauty and uniqueness at dark. But for the power failure of our led flashlight, I was convinced that we cannot witness the mystery of it.

Wellington is well planned for the local people. Small architectural gems enhance the mood and space of its areas that are made to be used. A plaque over a bridge by the harbor reads: "It's true you can't live here by chance, you have to do and be, not simply watch or even describe. This is the city of action, the world headquarters of the verb"

Well, the weather in wellington is so affable that you do not really want to get any clues from weather forecast. People say Wellington turns into a true utopia immediately when the sun shines. So you prefer to feel it without knowing whether there is a storm or fierce wind in next minute. Apparently, this is not easy for those who are always dependent on weather forecast every day in their own cities.

Having a bird eye view from the top of Mount Victoria, you find yourself indulging in another perspective on our time. The height connects you with Wellingtonian’s various attitudes and ways of living in this city. Isn’t this magic? Unleashing heavy backpack, we refreshed again by a bottle of plain drink. Just forget all of fatigue and breathe deeply. Impressed by such a moment, I wrote several words on my notebook to remember it. And when comparing the photos I took with those downloaded in my usb device, I began to understand why I can find more from mine-it is because I came here, saw it and had my own understanding of it.

Is Mom’s Gift Ready?

When I was 5 year old, my mother decided me needed some elegance and art. She bought a piano as my birthday and started taking me to the training courses. Although I spent less in playing the piano as time passed by and had slim chance to become a pianist, I still thank my dear mother for this gift and her love. Playing piano is now one of my favorite hobbies.

I am exerting all my wits to choose a right gift to her 50th birthday in this April. As you know, mom's birthday is a perfect time to honor her with a heartfelt gift. I believe your mother may appreciate any gifts you choose for her. So there is no excuse for spending time choosing a special birthday gift that shows your thanks and your love. What will you do when your mom’s birthday draws near? You’d better have a read the following passages if there is still a mess in your mind.

1.Great birthday gifts for mom. Take your mom’s lifestyle and personality into consideration. Understanding her hobbies and daily routine helps you to easily choose a right birthday gift that she'll truly value. Does she usually talk about her trekking with her close friends? Then buy her one of the latest flashlights, which would be of great help when they go out for an adventure.
2.Pay attention to what she is focusing on recently, which can be taken notes for your future references. Does she like play her iPhone? Then a stylish iphone cover may let her excited. And if the present just provide the spark for her newly found creativity, how excited she will be.
3.Rule out obvious blunders. Save time by eliminating the need to search for products she'll never use or appreciate. For example, avoid looking for the electronic products like flash drives if she if she feels hard to accept Newie. In addition, you do not have to waste your time on ruby jewelry if she detests the color red. After all, it is mom's birthday, and trying to reinvent the wheel can cause you unnecessary headache when choosing a suitable birthday gift.
4.Use your mom's eyes when choosing her birthday present. Although it's acceptable to choose a gift that falls outside of her normal purchases, don't make this your ultimate mission. Remember that your mom is the one who is supposed to use the gift, not you. Although it can be tempting to buy her an item that she perhaps love, doing so can make you seem pushy.
5.Find clues from past gift-giving occasions. Recall her reactions when receiving gifts that she liked and those that she disliked. Knowing her possible reactions can help you avoid giving her an underwhelming gift. Avoid giving your mom a birthday gift that she has recently received.

Now do you feel a little clear about the ways to choose gifts for your mother? If these cannot give you any help, try to get one by visiting online gifts stores.

Do You Have a Plan for Gift Giving?

Sometimes, smile is the best pill for pain and sorrow, just like the smile on my nieces’ face. Every time I see it, I feel the darkness is gone with its magic. Undoubtedly, I like the twin sisters very much not only because of their pretty looks but also their kindness. It is their birthday next month, and I am going to choose gifts for them. Considering their preferences and distinctive characters and, I have the ideas of my choices. For examples, Bernadette likes music, you can see her listen to the music whenever she is not quite busy; Lesley likes photography, collects excellent photos and videos, and shares them with the whole family. The quality noise canceling headphones absolutely suits Bernadette while an 8G flash memory can be the best gift for Lesley. I can even imagine their joy and excitement around me at this time, how can I stand their scream then?

The next thing I have to do is to find a good online store as I am always too busy to go for the local stores, and it is surely convenient to enjoy purchasing online. Generally speaking, many people have a favorite store or website, and with the advent of online business, almost everything is possible bought online. So I plan to check the great brand of noise canceling headphones with as many as positive reviews for Bernadette in order to make it a satisfactory gift. However, things will become a little bit tough when selecting for Lesley, mainly because I am not familiar with things like flash memory, digital camera, and anything that is relevant to photography. Anyway, I think this problem will be solved after my spending in searching information.

So this is my large plan to my twin nieces Bernadette and Lesley’s birthday. Do you have a plan in your mind before heading out for gifts? Actually, having the following in your mind is enough.

1.The person’s hobbies are the clues of gifts. Almost everyone has one or two hobbies in leisure time – listening to the music, watching movies, or collecting stamps. You can recommend quality suppliers for those collectors or spend in accompanying with them whenever there is a new-released movie.
2.Write down your ideas immediately. Do you have such an experience of having a perfect gift however subsequently forget it? This must be awkward when it is a spark that strikes you all of a sudden.
3.Take personalization into consideration. Have you ever thought of turning the recipient’s funny photo into a pillow, a t-shirt, iphone 3gs cases or a notebook? Nowadays there is the service that turns photos or pictures into any objects that you can name. How fantastic it is! This kind of personalized gifts must be fashionable and can be shown off among people. You can also turn photos of your family into badges, stickers, thanks card, and mug.

Obviously, IT IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE, and not a few persons would like to spend a lot on gift giving. Nevertheless, I am convinced that my gifts will be satisfied after my great effort.

Which Gift Is Appreciated?

Do you often have the idea of giving gifts to someone but without the idea what to buy? Apparently, it is somewhat awkward, isn’t it? You may be thankful if you have the great capability to choose a perfect gift for each of your loved ones. If fact, things are not so far from achieving as you imagine unless you pay no attention to what I am going to show you below.

1.You are not choosing something for yourself. Obviously, many of us always make such a mistake of choosing a gift he or she likes instead of considering whether the recipient likes it or not. For example, Penny like Hello Kitty very much, anyway it does not mean that a usb flash drive with the pattern Hello Kitty will be appreciated by her friend Sheldon, perhaps a flash drive with characters in Star War could satisfy him. In most of cases, having empathy with the recipient seems a good idea when looking for gifts.
2.Gift choosing is really challenging. So we’d better analyze the recipient from as many aspects as we can, like the age, gender, profession, and preference. Only in this way can you buy the gifts that he or she really needs and likes. What’s more, your creativity enables this process fruitful and the result worthy.
3.Pay more attention in your daily life. Observation yields much and it is helpful for your gift choosing. There must be something a person likes, in that case, he or she stops to look at, watches, and even talk about it with you excitedly. Does she always complain about her earphones recently and want to buy another one? Attention, these are the useful hints for you, and bluetooth headphones will easily solve it.
4.Choose something the person does not know about. As a matter of fact, this can be a try or risk for both of you. If the gift is something unique, it may arouse his or her interest to use, and it is the uniqueness that makes itself valuable. In addition, gizmos are loved by a lot of people, such as a puzzle ball which requires patience and carefulness to win. And the most important thing is that you can enjoy happy hours with the person. Imagine how wonderful it will be. Such special gadgets can be found online at eBay and Amazon, and moreover, they are at low price and popular among youngsters. And the t-shirts with patterns of animals, shapes, or famous characters are the hot cake online. What you need to do is spending several minutes choosing among a wide selection of special item online and find out the right one. Moreover, buying online saves you a lot of money, let you away from the traffic jam and bad air in the street, and brings much convenience.

The suggestions above relieve your stress fro gift choosing to some extent; however, there are still many factors to consider when you choose a gift if you want your gift be appreciated.
