You never know until you try

Got this poem in someone’s space. Share with all of you.

You never know until you try
And you never try unless you really try
You give it your best shot
You do the best you can
And if you have done everything in your power
And still fail
The truth of the matter is that you haven’t failed at all
When you reach for your dreams
No matter what they may be
You GROW from the REACHING
You LEARN from the TRYING
You WIN from the DOING

Everything is coming up roses

I hope: Everything is coming up roses.

"come up roses" is an expression I just now learned. I think I have grasped it.

I remember, on Mid-Autumn Day, I, with my good friend climbed Baiyun Mountain. At that time, going for a walk along the path, we played a joke that we each made three wishes. Anyway, they must be related to heath, family, work, etc. All in all, that is, we hope everything's coming up roses. For everyone, so it is. No exception. It is so.

Idioms about colour

When reading, we can meet some idioms or expressions with different colours. Personally, I accumulated some, such as white lies, black sheep, green hand, red tape, black and blue etc. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. I never think of any good method to remember or understand them effectively. I coincidently browsed a web, where these color idioms were taught in a story. That is to say, in a context. So cool. To tell the truth, I like this. Share it with all of you:

A Silver Lining ( And there is an audio file, ^-^ )

P.S: A little long. Patient, please. I benefit much from it. I think you also can.

English study plan

In an instant, days are gone without any hesitation. The last quarter of a year. A complete blank. I am good at making plans but they will finally be a complete blank too. ...... Now I wanna grasp the tail of this year. Make an English-study plan now:

1) Listening: At least 20 min per day

2) Reading: news, blogs, or other materials (^-^ I can insist on this one )

3) Translating: 2 short passages per week

4) Writing: blogging often

Action!

Jasmine

I bought a potted jasmine to my home yesterday. To my surprise, there are still two buds on it. It is said that the flower blossoms usually from June to October. Pity that now is already late October. Have no idea whether it will blossom. Expecting it will bring me a new life, promising, fantastic life!
