The Millionaire



Slumdog Millionaire is an adaptation of the novel Q & A by Indian author. Set and filmed in India, the film told the story of a young man from the slums of Mumbai who tried to change his life by winning TV's 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?'It was a drama which exposed the tragic effects of poverty in gigantic Indian cities like Mumbai. Jamal was a young man on India's TV program show "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire" and was a question away from one million dollars when he was arrested on suspicion of cheating.
Because Jamal was from the slums of India and had no educational background, it seems entirely improbable that Jamal could make it this far, but each question was connected with distinct and sometimes painful memories for Jamal. Finally, he won not only the price but also his lover and the trust of his brother.

push your limit

In my life, I love to challenged myself and push the limit. It brings me an unforgettable experience and memories. I remember around three years ago, I had a summer vacation with my friends in Thailand Pataya area. During the vacation, we had tried many kinds of water activity in the beach. For example, parasailing, banana boating, wave rider…..You can try or choose it to challenging yourself. One day, our tourist guide brings all of us to the top of tall building. The height is around 57 floors. You can see all of view from the building.
I think many people afraid to face such the attitude if they stand on the top. The challenging is jump to ground from 57 floors. Only three ways can reach ground if you want to play this game. One is by single, second is twins, Third is six people together. Finally, I choose play by myself. The coach asked us to hold the handle.
Then just go.
When I reach to ground, I feel I win the world. Because I challenging myself again.
Next time, I want challenging is jump from air plane.

Antismoking laws

Everybody knows “Smoking Cigarettes May be hazardous to Your Health” and “long –term smoking may cause lung cancer.” But why many people like smoking? In over past years, there are more and more people smoking in Taiwan. This is a very serious issue. I think how to reduced quantities of litter, healthier environments and giving smokers incentive to quit is our government’s responsibility. The government has enacted laws to limit on smoking.

First, antismoking laws are to protect people from the effects of second-hand smoking in public places and indoor (like restaurant, school…etc). Setting the smoking area/room for smoking guys, which is avoid an increased risk of heart disease, cancer, emphysema, and other diseases for no-smoking people.

Second is to increase the health tax on cigarettes. People have to spent more money to buy cigarettes. It’s very easy to reduce the purchase desire.

The final is enacting laws to improve our environments. The smoker always littered the cigarette butts at anywhere.

To summarize, antismoking laws will cause more inconvenient for smokers. Therefore I still support this policy. It will help smoker to quit smoking easily and protect our environments.

The most important decision of my life

Everybody may have different important decisions to make in their lives, and those decisions will always affect one's fate directly or indirectly.

As for me, I have also made some important decisions in my life, I remembered nine years ago, when I was still work in Taipei, my best friend asked me to make an important decision about my future. “Do you want to help me? We would like to open KTV business by ourselves in London.” He said. This idea is very interested for me.

First of all, we have to collect enough money for this plan. It was hard for us at this time. Besides, I must quit my job. I asked myself. If the KTV is success, you will have good opportunity can study language school and making money. If not, you will lose the investment. Then back Taipei to find new job. You have to make important decision for this cooperation, GO or NOT? Finally, I had an unforgettable experience in London life. And I restart my life in Taipei.

After a decision is made, no one can ever change the result, or blame others if something goes wrong. Therefore, we must have a clear mind and think thoroughly before making any decisions.

Three modern technological devices have changed the way we communicate

There are three modern technological device have changed people’s communication in our daily lives. The way is to close the gap between human being. The technological devices include cell phone, Internet and Net meeting.
First of all, we can use cell phones to talk to anyone at anywhere. The cell phones have replaced B.B call. You don’t need to find public phone and call back. Just pick up your cell phone. The advantage is no need to prepare coins anymore.
Second, people use Internet to chat on the MSN/SKYPE online or send email to communicate with each other. They also can use E-mail to ask each other question. It is extremely convenient. The reason is it is free for 24 hours.
Third, Net meeting software lets people in world wide hold meeting without leaving their office. They can get through Net meeting face to face to talk about business issues. Because time is money.
To make a conclusion, modern technological bring us convenient and help us to deal things immediately.
