Basketball in life

Laws of life is basketball! A law of life is something that we choose to live by that guides us. The first law of life we need to choose to live by is bravery.

Bravery is having or displaying a sense of courage as well as being a daring individual. It is also a person who lacks the qualities of being cowardly or timid. Throughout history most great leaders showed that they were very brave individuals through their actions and as well as the way they carried themselves. They did not allow what other people or forces said dictate their actions. The character that shows bravery in the story, made it entering the NBA after the hard training. Even though the training might be hard and sweaty, he never gives up for his dream. He fights through himself in order to success. He welcomed every single challenge, because he knows that “trouble is the power that keeps you moving”.

Bravery on itself is not enough. When trouble comes, if you only have bravery but did not show any action, that is not success. The character kept moving when the adversary came to him. He never give up, because he knows that basketball is his life and he will like it for his whole life. At this time, if he gives up, he will never make himself into NBA, and will regret for life. Challenges are necessary in order to grow as individuals; they are necessary to improve our skills and polish up our talents; to help us to become as successful individual in whatever endeavor we are involved in. And above all, challenges help us to discover who were really are and what we can do in difficult situation.

One you take the first step and decide to face a challenge, you have to state the problem and do it as clearly and exactly as you can. Your challenge might not like the ones the leading character had in this story, but what is similar is that you have to take time to understand properly the problem you are facing. It is important to continually challenge yourself in order to boost your power up. Find your favor and interest, put yourself in a challenging situation and try your best to overcome it. Stay calm and focused. Challenges help you to get out of the comfort zone. What does not kill you makes you grow stronger.

People will always hurl stones of taunts in their path of life. It totally depends on ourselves, what we make of it a wall of difficulties or a bridge over difficulties. We must be brave and accept it mentally because you never regret on your own decision. We cannot turn back time, but we can face our challenges and never let them defeat us to the path towards our success. Your inner self will be victorious and the difficulties will be defeated. Be brave, and live for your life. Do your favorite things, and never say give up?




Summer In clothes


Spring has come, can summer be far behind?This time of year, the city’s high streets and back lanes like runway, while girls wear the best clothes to show their sexy or beautiful.In fact, dressed like a maths problem, need to seriously ponder.A lot of time without thinking dress is likely to make you look bad.In this article I will describe how to dress looks classy and eye-catching.

Every year at this time, the street girls tend to be divided into two kinds: one is the legging, love repair leg pants; one is bare legs, selected shorts completely show the leg Slim pencil pants are also can show curve, completely end the effect as shorts, this dress will recommend several nice shorts, let us show a little guilty.

In my opinion,There are three importance for us to pay attention.

  1. Colour

The difference is too small, too close to the tone easily confused with each other, the lack of layering; much difference, for Too intense than the overall tone is easy to split. When the same kind of deep color with the best, in light of the three Level changes, with less than three levels seemed more monotonous, and easy to produce excessive levels Tedious, rambling effect. Such as red tone was the same color with red woolen skirt by Rose, Camel red sweater, dark purple shoes, red garnet earrings and makeup composition.

 

2.Material

The choice of fabrics to reflect the dressing grade , high-quality , high-end fabrics , most with a comfortable, absorbent, breathable , drape crisp, visual elegance , features and other aspects of soft touch ; while the choice of fabric should also pay attention to whether their own body type , I had to accompany my mother who had just given birth to go out to buy clothes , and then tried to know , the kind of fabric soft close is absolutely not to try .

  1. Style.

There are many styles of clothes , formal wear, casual wear , home wear , and so on . Style choices , the first occasion was in line with their own dress , a dress is not what can wear out ; addition is well to show their body type , most people are not perfect figure , more or less some deficiencies, dressing to note Cangzhuo , but also highlight the beautiful parts of his body .

In fact, everyone has their own taste, so be sure to find your own taste and match clothes , clothing beauty more beautiful. We go shopping with friends , may have such feelings, others suggest that you wear fancy clothes body , you will feel uncomfortable , I feel it is not their own to wear , this feeling is very important. Low-key people do not choose too provocative clothes, but restrained personality who likes to wear the clothes are formal rules , but personality may idle much love loose casual models .

Clothes with a more artistic, but also requires skill.

Kite flying is also a life skill


flying_kites

The kite, which has over 1000years old, is more and more popular right now around the world. Kiting is already not only for fun, but also could prevent some neck disease happening especially to those people sitting in from the computers all the day. Fly a kite, you need running, heading, One more important thing is you need some skills, especially to the new players.

On a sunny weekend, I cheerfully go to fly a kite with me roommates. We went to a square place and many people already are there, some people are camping, the children are running and laughing, some people are flying their kites. Many colorful kites with lovely images are in the sky. What we flying is a Nemo, very cute fish.

Unfortunately my roommates and I are new players, we tried and tried many time to fly the kite, but we cannot make the kite even over 5meters.Then we need the help, we are so lucky that we got the instruction from a warm heart uncle, he give us some advices which help us a lot.

First of all, the player needs to know the direction and the strength of the wind, this could be defined by watching the flying flag or smoke or you could figure this out by thronging a piece of leaf or a small piece of paper. How to judge the strength of the wind??See how far the leaf flying, LOL.

When you feel the wind is strong enough, you can take the kite run against the wind direction, loose the kite line when you think the kite will hold in the sky. Loose your line slowly to make the kite clime up in a slow way. During this time, if the wind gets weak, you have to take back the line fast to make the kite continuously climbing up. Certainly when the kite pulls the line harder, you have to loose the line a little bit. So this is a kind of game back and forward, general speaking, the purpose is making the kite staying in the sky stable instead of falling down.

Sometimes the wind gets stronger suddenly, the kite swings in the sky sharply, then the player has to loose the line fast or step forward faster to make the kite stable in the sky. Oppositely, when the wind gets weaker, the player has to take back the line fast or step back faster.

In case of two kite lines tangle together, the worst thing is the player takes back the lines which will make the kite loosing balance and fall down immediately, the correct action is : DONNOT PANIC, two players get closer, exchange the positions, loose the line a little bit, the lines will release accordingly.

Finally, when you take the line back, you have to take much care of the tall building or trees, try to stay away from those tall things in order to avoid falling kite hanging on it.

With the instructions, my roommates and I try several times to make the kite flying, in the beginning, it fails because we could not cooperate successfully, but finally we make it! Nemo is flying in the sky! How happy we are when we see the kite climbing! We are trying to make the kite as far as possible till the line ends.

That is really funny for kiting, we are sure this is not the last time we go.
