Readers’ Digest

Body

When I visited the home page of Readers Digest, the pop-ad came on and told me that there was a 83%discount for a year contract.

It offers $15 for a year include postal cost.

I couldn't believe it so I declined.

I couldn't believe that  I can get paper magazines with such a low price.

Does anyone know about the year contract with 83% discount?

If it is the real (true?) transaction, I'd like buy it.

I think i am a little wimpy, but with the time, i have trying to change that mind about me. i think that sometime the opinions of other people are like straws fullng a glass. Thast why sometime you get shy and try to locked up your feelings. Now im tryng to improve and ahold for keep my positive attitude . Of course there are somedays that are just lousy and that make my anxious increase, i start to shivering and breath really fast i feel that the attention its on me like if i had a umpire seeing everything i do . I have tried new thing as recomendations of my teraphist, like dive this is something that i never had done, the other day i shoot a gun that fired blanks was so fun. That sound a little crazy but i really enjoyed a lot. I get scare stupid things for example when there are fireworks in the sky i just think about where they gonna land and that scared me.

Doubt about the drug using in Ice figure skating.

Body

A Russian girl skater was doubted of using drug before the Olympic game .

She said she might  have misused her grand father's pill for heart disease.

Even so making mistake was her fault.

Even if you would  violate a law  with your negligent, you have the responsibility on your action.

So I think the figure skater should give up joining the Olympic game.

She is young enough to try next time.

I hope her and her surround people start over from the scratch.

My last job

Body

I got a new job last year, in May. I was looking for a new job for a long time, and I founded. 

But I really miss my previous job, I had some special friends there, there were always many people in the factory with who talk. 

In the afternoons we used to go out from the inside of the factory to the park outside, we bought some snacks in the expend machine, and we ate our snacks watching the birds on the trees and laughing a lot, sometimes we talked about a new gossip or just about our families. 

I always had a lot of work there, so I spent my whole day walking in the factory between production lines taking data from the process. 

At the end of the day, I had knee pain due to my daily hike.

Although it was a hard job, I really missed it.

The half pipe

Body

At the Winter Olympic game in Beijing , the half pipe game was held.

On the first trial a Japanese athlete played well.

However the judgement was not very good. 

He was the second.

Just after the judgement showed, many other athletes booed against it.

On the second trial he performed much better than first one.

He won the 1st prize, the gold medal.

I felt sport-man-ship for the people who showed the disagreement to the judgement.

They are great.

Big decision in my life

Body

There is one thing come to my mind when talk about big decision in my life. The thing is that I had a chance to work in Argentina three years ago but finally i decided to give up. 

I was a overseas sales in a domestic company three years ago, i knew the Argentinan company through medical exhibition. There were looking for a foreign sales to work in Argentina to promote the products. After deep conversation and i told them that i hope to work with them. Since then, i spent a lots time in preparing all the documents and did the marketing strategy for this product. However, one day they told me that they encountered some issues in financial management, they are still welcome me to work with them, but the salary would be only hald of the previous salary. I realized that the salary can not afford my lift in Argentina, it is hard for me to take dicision so i discussed with my parents and friends, finally i made the decision to gave up the offer eventhough i already applied all the necessary documents.

I think this is the most brave decision that i have ever made. I didn't regret about missing this opportunity due to i always on my way, i keep work hard and two years ago i got a chance to Argentina for business trip.

My first working day

Body

I've finally started my first day at work. I must say it was kind of chaotic. To summarize what I have to do: I'm basically contacting drivers to check if they're doing their deliveries without issues and report it. This job usually have situations where you have to be fast and careful at the same time, but once you get used to it, it becomes quite easy. 

I really appreciate and admire those people who can keep a positive attitude in front of bad moments. I realised how important and impacting is to keep a good behaviour in your enviroment. I hope to continue learning as much as I did in my first workday.
