Title: The smartest student; the greatest teacher
Your baby is so smart. He is so earlier that he can say thank you or sorry. He is a well-family educated baby. These compliments are so sweet and so comfortable for us.
Baby is the smartest student, or the smartest human being. However, it needs to have the greatest teacher to teach.
A special experience and important lesson happened on me from my daughter.. My daughter, eight months ago, six month old at that time, she was able to sound voice and say pa, We were very happy that she can do that, and is getting loudly day by day. But at the same time, she often sound a very noisy voice we are very familiar with. Who taught her? Until one day. When I opened the door of the bathroom, I know that answer. She imitated the voice. Suddently I know why my daughter is smarter than me. Do you know what? Curioisty. She is curious about everything what she saw, she listened, she touched, she smell. Then she imitated it at will. There is a much stronger desire inside her mind to get knowledge. It is as much as food, game, and love. I were so sorry to her because I offer her not good, unuseful message to imitate.
Right now my daughter she is one and half year old, and she studied and she is able to sit down, climb, ride bicycle, eat food by herself, hold something to stand very well. Now she is still studying walk. Do you figure out one thing? It is also very important.
Yes, she is happy. She is very very happy to study every brand new actions. She did it, and she enjoy. That is another very important thing I ignore for a while.
Don’t say stop Our daughter is very naughty. But you know, it is normal. If she is not naughty, I worry. She likes to adventure, tries new things. Because she is curious.
Because she is naughty to throw toys away, extract toilet tissue out piece by piece. I am angry and sometimes say stop a little loudly, and she shocked, stop action and cry. You know, the shock keeps in her mind. Everytime I say stop, or No, she cries. It is a bad experience for her. I am regret to do that to her. So ladies and gentleman, if the children do something naughty or dangerous, it maybe do something to transfer their attention instead of order or threaten him or her loudly.
I am still a freshman when being a father, no a teacher. However, being her teacher is not only to care about her body requirement, but also provide a healthy, and complete environment to study.

2005/8/16 Doris's C2 script
The differences between womem and men
[Beginning]
Culture is the life style.
Tylor, an important figure of anthropology, said culture contain knowledge, belief, art, law, ethic, and customs etc. (et cetera)
All of these are what people do daily. And the most interesting thing is the difference between cultures. Now I want to present this in three aspects: physically, spiritually and material life.
[Body]
Physically
Basically, people are looked quite the same, everyone has one head, body, and a set of limbs. But here is a truth that there are two sorts of people is really different in the world. Those are women and men.
What is the main reason of this truth?
The answer is concealed in the brain.
How we learn things is depending on our structure of brain. And there are many researches are related what difference between women and men’s brain. According the book titled “why men don’t listen and women can’t read maps”.
It explains men and women’s brains have developed specific areas to handle different skills. It depends on different needs.
In the ancient world, men, being responsible for hunting game, needed to develop tactics for organizing the kill and to hone skills for hitting a target. They didn’t need to be good at conversation or sensitive to anyone’s emotional needs, so they never developed strong brain areas for interpersonal skills.
Women, by contrast, needed the capacity for wider fringe vision to monitor their surroundings, the ability to perform several activities in the same time and effective communications skill, because they have to raise the child and takes care the cave when men are hutting outside.
In other word, women are more sensitive than men.
To prove this point of view, I have a story about my friend. One day my friend was angry about her boyfriend and throws books down to the ground and goes away to show her anger. Then her boyfriend just picked up the books for her and said “hey, baby you drop your books” without feeling her anger.
That is the reason why these two brains fight forever.
Ok, It’s about the Physical.
How about spiritual aspect of differences between cultures.
Take the religions as the example. We have learned a lot history about wars of religions. Actually we have the same problem nowadays.
People always argue about what kinds of ceremony to express the love of God should be right.
A friend comes from Bosnia told me that gestures to express respect to God between the Orthodox and the Catholic are really different. If you do the wrong way it would be a big mistake. Let me show you how different they are.
These kinds of little things would be a fuse of the war. Just be careful.
Beside the physical and spiritual aspect of the difference between cultures. The material life also forms a lot cultural difference around our daily life.
What people wear or use or where the people lives represent the status of people.
I think it is because people have the needs to be recognized in the society and it’s the most easy way to recognize a person you don’t know stand before you from how he or she looked.
One of my friends who ever lived in Unity State said there is a street of all the house with grille and another one just besides it, all the house have no grill but the lawn with great care before the house. You just see two streets, two worlds.
[Conclusion]
These differences seem making a lot mass in the world. From argues of couple to the wars of two religions, also the prejudice in the society.
But it also the reason makes this world so variously and fascinating.
What I want to present here is a simple truth.
Everyone in the world is different. It is a law in this world.
Since this law there will be no base line to distinguish difference between peoples.

2005/08/02 Jason's C5 speech-origin of disease
Origin of disease –Free radical ( c5 speech )
Ladies and gentleman good evening .since our technology has developed quickly, so our lifespan has increased . Would you like to live a long life? I like the idea very much, however if you live longer but your body is not healthy, then it might not worth it . if you can’t eat delicious food or can’t go any where or if you want to work but nobody wants you , in your life only have two things sleeping and eating , so what would you live for ? Perhaps at that time you are waiting for death. Is this life a happy one? I don’t think so. “Life is measured by thought and action, not by time.”
How to live longer and healthy? You must know how to take care your body and prevent disease , so many risk factors will cause disease , among that Free radicals are most important one, because they are the catalyst for many diseases like aging hardened arteries heart disease cerebral stroke cataract emphysema diabetes Alzheimer and cancer, just to name a few! Free radicals are serious because they will destroy resistances of cell , let your body easy to get infection , retard cell regular production, destroy the mitochondrion of cell that will make you tired , produce some bad thing what will cause cancer ,destroy DNA to cause gene mutation , so free radicals are origin of disease .
There are some ways that will increase free radicals in your body, you should avoid.
1 Poor dietary habit : junk food high fat low fiber
2 Dietary pollution : antiseptic flavor antibiotics
3 Environmental pollution : air pollution water pollution
4 Smoking
5 Expose to sunlight : ultraviolet
if you can’t avoid that, so you also can try to replenish some nutrition , for example vitamin C vitamin E and carotenoids- like Beta carotene and Lycopene , these are natural antioxidants which can help you to decrease free radicals .
If you want to keep your body healthy , you should avoid to expose yourself to dangerous place and balance your diet , get enough nutrition , besides that according to research taking hot spring hiking drinking green tea those also can eliminate free radicals. from these knowledge , we know that hiking taking hot spring and drinking green tea talking with friends those are good choices to do in your free time , you should do it often , and the most important thing is that don’t forget to invite me . may you live longer and healthy .

happy 50th meeting! ale max!
fellow toastmasters,
if i didn't get things wrong, tomorrow is the 50 th meeting of ale max. what a wonderful day tomorrow will be!
i will be so fortunate to be able to join 40 out of these 50 ale max meetings. but i know there is one and only one ale max member who hasn't missed any one of ale max meetings. amanda hsu, your hornorable president, is the one! now you guys may know why she's been my idol for such a long time......not only because she's been excellent in delivering speeches but also she's been so dedicating.
as a senior ale max member and former president, i guess i have enough credibility to make some comments on this club. according to my recent observation, the current ale max members are actually better than those two years ago ( of course, you are now better than what you were two years ago.....), no matter in english ability, stage perfomance or confident! that's why we can have high quality meetings all the time. it's we make the meetings great! i think ale max is now " the best club in kaohsiung", which was the goal i set one year ago and now it's true!
........( to be continued......)
