Desperation This is my first Microfiction. Here it goes!  He was sitting at the bar counter, drinking. "Keep them coming!" "What happened?" "Friend, I'd always hated being a janitor." "But what happened?" "Assaulted a student... Was fooled." "Then what?" "Fired. Was mopping floor. Wanted to finish the job and go. He stole my mop. Too old to chase. Hurled the other mop at him." Benedict (55 words) P.S Sorry I posted late, encountered some complications! Comment | 1 Comments Thursday, May 7, 2009 @ 6:04 AM
Father's Memorable Read  As my mother has never been a fan of reading, I could only interview my father. Being a chinese-educated person, my father is an avid reader of chinese books. However, of course, he had read some English books that teaches people about leadership qualities and others. Fortunately for me, he managed to recall one of his more memorable read. The title of the book is called 'Techniques to Analyse, Organise and Present Ideas Persuasively.' by Keith SPicer, Ph D. Basically, this book teaches us how to speak and think clearly. It wants us to realise that "good" communication is not just to transmit a message, but as conveying the message to other people. It also stated that the slogan to have good communications:"Before you put your mouth in motion, get your mind in gear." My father feels that the first two chapters of this book are the most important as they reveal the reasons why thinking on your feet is crucial for presentations. He thinks that this book is very effective and has definitely improved his abilities to organise his ideas and present in front of people. In fact, it has played a role in making him a confident Sales & Marketing Business Executive. Now, isn't that critical to him? Comment | 1 Comments Sunday, May 3, 2009 @ 9:06 AM
Parent's Response to E-bookshelf Well, this post would basically be about my father's response to my electronic bookshelf. This is what he thinks. "I feel that this is kind of an interesting way to keep my child reading and maintaining a good reading habit. Looking at my child's bookshelf, he has read quite a wide variety books ranging from classics to fantasies. In other words, he is fairly versatile in his reading. However, I feel that there are some room for improvement in his reading. In his bookshelf, it would be better if he is reading some books for self-improvement. For instance, books that teach us about leadership and teamwork. Also, although he has read many English books, I find he is not really spending time reading Chinese books. You may be thinking why I am bringing this up but after all, since you are encouraging the habit of reading, I guess a child can be exposed to a range of books not only to improve his English Language, but also to improve himself and other languages right?" That was what he had to say. Personally, I am not quite sure why we are having this electronic bookshelf. I guess it is to keep us reading right? If so, I would really want to maintain this bookshelf! Comment | 1 Comments |
