Shadowing " On being wrong "



So it's 1995, I'm in college, and a friend and I go on a road trip from Providence, Rhode Island to Portland, Oregon. And you know, we're young and unemployed, so we do the whole thing on back roads through state parks and national forests -- basically the longest route we can possibly take. And somewhere in the middle of South Dakota, I turn to my friend and I ask her a question that's been bothering me for 2,000 miles."What's up with the Chinese character I keep seeing by the side of the road?" My friend looks at me totally blankly. There's actually a gentleman in the front row who's doing a perfect imitation of her look. And I'm like, "You know, all the signs we keep seeingwith the Chinese character on them." She just stares at me for a few moments, and then she cracks up,because she figures out what I'm talking about. And what I'm talking about is this. Right, the famous Chinese character for picnic area.

#6 Steve Jobs’ 2005 Standford Commencement Address

  This is one of the most inspirational speeches I've ever witnessed. I'm at a point in my life when I know exactly what I want to do and what I want- logically, emotionally, financially- I know what must be done. I'm young. I don't know my reason, my dreams, my future yet. But, this speech gave me wisdom, courage and hope. Thank you, Steve. My mind blossomed and now I am determined enough to do something productive and taking a few starting steps for becoming better version of myself. With Apple, you touched many lives when you were alive and you continue to do so long after you're gone. "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life",

Listen to the podcast (AEE1692) and give two more examples of “I’m good.”

  Listen to the podcast (AEE1692) and give two more examples of “I’m good.” 1. Make an appointment with your friend:  Friend: Hey Onnee , would do you think we have dinner at Ximending ? Onnee: Yep, I’m good! 2. In a restaurant  Waiter: Would you like to add some water  ?  Me : Thanks, I’m good!

#2 What could the world or other countries do to help Ukraine and its people? (at least 50 words)

 What could the world or other countries do to help Ukraine and its people?  Since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, crowds of Ukrainian residents have fled their homes.  In response, countries around the world have started imposing economic sanctions on Russia. As the crisis unfolds, and people around the world watch the war escalate in real-time, many are left wondering how they can help. Making a donation might seem like a drop in the bucket during these times, likes :  1.  CARE  is responding to the crisis by providing Ukrainians in need with food, hygiene kits, psychosocial support services, access to water, and access to cash.  2.  Save the Children  is working with partners to respond to meet the urgent needs of affected children and their families. .... And more meaningful ways can help them. But I just hope NO WAR IN UKRAINE !
