A person’s life can change overnight:
A lot of people may not believe in destiny or fate at all.
In a place I used to work till a month ago; at university in China, this topic was brought up a couple of times, as a general topic to break the ice in some conversation classes.
My students’ majorities were about 24-25 years old, but compare to western students, having had less life experiences. Anyhow, some of them who were more comfortable tot talk about their personal lives use to say in China we believe in so many rituals and a lot of older generations are strongly superstitious.
Some other would say, life is not that easy to get change easily. They said, they spent their childhood in a boring dull countryside, routine study life and did their best to get into university and now here they are. Even so, some wanted to think about further possibilities in their lives, but mostly would come up that’s the life no further hopes or even thought.
Some used to confess they must work hard to get a job and save money and hardly any unexpected events might turn over their lives in other direction.
Personally, that’s a reality of so many lives, but there is a tiny-tiny possibilities which a lot of people pass and don’t see through it very well.
When I look back and see my life, which was in Iran similar to Chinese life style in some points, even though I grew up in a very relaxed and high class family, but it did happen to me.
Around 15 years ago, I have got my first computer, in order to work on art and just liked it. In few years afterward, I connected to internet and it just happened once after deceiving an advice from an online friend how to find a way to look for some relevant sites in order to apply for a job in China.
Anyhow, it stretched for over years of my life working there and so much ups and downs and adventures and trips and my life totally changed, ended up meeting my husband from other side of the world, my career has changed, as well.

Languages±
When we are talking about European languages, means a category of at least 15 different languages, which are mostly spoken in EU nation.
Actually, there are some more tangible differences more than similarities, among Northern Europe, Southern and Easton part; however, almost all Europe’s languages come from Latin background, but for instance in North part and German area the routs are German- Celtic, and Celtic- English or Anglo-English.
Southern part Italian and Spanish have much more in common to present.unlike, Eastern Europe has got an old, distinguish heritage from Russian language which is totally different in alphabet and grammar with other Europe part, covering most Baltic nation and former Soviet Union countries.
But despite these differences, similarities are mostly in common of alphabet, pronunciations and basically the route is.
On the other hand, as it comes to Middle East, Central Asia and India, alphabet is the most enormous difference in compare with European languages. The system of writing is is from right to left, not left to right and obviously different structure of writing and pronunciation.
As if, we move forward toward East, for example: Chinese language, which is dominated in whole East Asian countries related to historical events and political aspects, is the hardest language in the world to learn.
In fact, they don’t even have alphabet and are all symbols are known as:``Characters``,which is growing according to your knowledge and leaning more the language, combination of characters, tunes and sounds make new words. As you learn more characters you will be able to read and realize more about language, which is totally different from Middle Easton or European languages.
You learn the alphabet and sounds In other languages, so then we have done half of the task cause you are able at least in a certain level, to read or write the language, even though sometimes can guess the words, as similarities appears.
As a matter of fact, Chinese or Japanese which has a heritance of Chinese route and even Korean are totally come from Mars.

We are living in 21st century, the time of development on summit, expansion in economy, industry, and globalization on the whole. What these definitions related are to success, might be a question.
Firstly, if we look through the history or human civilization, we get into this point that in each era of man kind, people, nations were looking for success for themselves and a better life for their families, but the main point is in century a matter of being successful was a bit different and obtain it was harder or easier, regarding to societies development, education, chances in life and facilities to gain at that time.
Moreover, for instance; at this century to be successful by all means, is a matter life or death for so many; cause of modernization, fast paced development and very sensitive- competitive society that we are hacking.
In fact, if we want to define ``success`` means to be on top and have a great satisfaction inside. How we can be successful and obtain it for some people is so essential and some other just catches it, easy as a pie.
To some, having a decent job and settled down, have a happy family is end of the case, but some other, who are not few at all, success means having a great stability in their finance, which can solve anything for them as they wish to have and desire to.
For instance, celebrities in any field, such as art, media, fashion, or any other filed; success has a totally weird definition.
Some people are naturally hyper active and have high goals in life, and got inherence of ambitions; so these people may not be easily stand in the position that they have in society, cause doesn’t last long for them.
They do love to be admired every now and then and be in public view and in one word to be famous, for their money, social status and their fame as well.
To sum up, being successful and how to obtain it and what the limitation and boarder of success is, all depend on each person how they think about their life and levels of satisfaction. Success is nothing more than be happy and enjoy of effort of doing for life and living in a good condition with less stress and safe.

It was another active week-day for me.I do really enjoy having some of my students, for instance, my Wednesday classes go really well.I must confess the second class students are a bit lame and slouching into their seats, as Architectures are just god at drawing.
As a matter of fact, I am proud that I could increase their motivation,, even though switch the topics according to their major as much as possible.
Today I could make them active by role playing and organizing an opening of an art gallery. They had to right down the entire activities and scheduliing, prepartions and act out in the class.It did work well!
For some other classes, even I have noticed they love acting and role plays so I have expanded the topics and activities, which were for instance, recite a short story according to few pictures and act out.

How dating and mating running in China:
Yesterday, we decided to take away the food; in meantime we were waiting in the restaurant.
I had noticed a boy and girl were dating .His face was full of big huge pimples looked like moon surface and he was coughing and sneezing all over.
In China they feel embarrassed or it is not tradition to use the tissue when the sneeze, so they make it so natural releases it into the air. At this point we are talking about dating here.I was talking to Wijbren and he had the same opinion too. If he was in my country he could never ever had a dream of having a girl, but her here, such nice naïve girls are always ready for date!.
Well no insult of offence to any nation, but in China, maybe due to high population or what I don’t know exactly, but I see nicer girls in matter of appearance than boys. One thing is good and for sure boys can find somebody even if, they are not that much good looking, but in some other countries they have to face with loneliness.

Receiving awards is a great feeling.
I assume a lot of us in different occasions have received, achieved prizes and rewards. Attending in national or international ceremonies, receiving certificates or graduation time in high school or university time are all special moments for anybody.
I do remember my first prize; when I learned how to swim well and I just turned to six; it was a great feeling. I do still have the car toy that I have received for my parents.
When I was 10, I started painting and playing violin. After a couple of years, when my art reach to a point proudly appear in public, I realized how flattering is to receive applause, prize or any kinds reward.
In the past, receiving rewards were just belonged to nobles, soldiers and people who have killed enemies of king or queen or defended the country during the war time.
But after, industrial, Cultural Revolution and modernization, social respects and values has changed in different ways.
Nowadays, not just soldiers or nobles due to their heroic actions or defend the frontier and kill the enmies, receive rewards.scientists or writers, directors and artists in fine art or visual art, such as cinema and theater getting particular national or international, such as Nobel prize, Oscar.
In some occesions, if the person has done a great job might receive his/her reward personaly from hand of president or king which calls as a great honor.

Increasing population of senior citizen:
To start with, statics in different many fields show so many changes in 21st century, and one of them is increasing the population of the world; specifically number of senior citizens.
We are aware of population is increasing and there are some logical reasons behind this fact. First of all, if we consider the advance medical system and treatment and compare it with even half century ago, then it will be obvious that how many people from infants till elderies are surviving from fetal, chronic disease which non of them were doable couple of decades ago
.
Personally, since a century ago the penicillin had been discovered, has made enormous difference in medical surgeries and treatments. The diagrams of health from a century ago are rapidly rising up.
Moreover, not just just due to better health care, but also using more nutritious and enjoying regular exercises, are some other elements which are most effective of longer life.
In fact, it is a good and bad news for our globe. The most advantage of increasing age is everybody can enjoy longer life span, seeing longer generations after us and be healthier due to advance medical system, which is all these are personal advantages for people and their families.
On the other hand, even though, older people seem to be healthier than before, but still after retirement age and afterwards they might feel a bit isolated from society and get disappointed of a boring ,dull long life.
In conclusion, I do believe all these are depend on society, health care, family care, and personal perspective of life style that make a long life happy, positive, even active or destructive and dull.
