My Korean name

My Korean name
My grandfather left Korea to live with us in New York when he was almost eighty years old. My parents fixed up the attic so that he had his own room. He wore traditional Korean clothes: shiny vests with gold buttons, and puffy pants that made his legs look fat even though he was really very skinny. He chewed on small dried fish snacks that smelled up everything. dvd copy He coughed a lot. My grandfather spoke only Korean, so I never understood what he was saying. He scared me. I had never seen anyone so old so close. “Take this tea up to your halabogee,” my mother told me soon after he had moved in. “I don’t want to,” I said. “He’s your grandfather,” she scolded. dvd copy “Be nice to him.” I brought up the steaming cup of tea, hearing him cough once, twice, and again. I peeked around the corner and said, “Here’s your tea.” He looked up at me, chewing his dried fish snack, and smiled. He began speaking Korean to me, but I didn’t understand him. He waved me over and continued talking. “What? What? I don’t understand Korean,”dvd ripper I said. “I never learned.” “Aigoo,” he said, which was like “Oh my!” in Korean. My mother said that word to me all the time. He waved his finger at me and said, “Korean important. Yes?” “I guess so,” I said, surprised. So he did speak a little English. He smiled and nodded and sipped his tea loudly. He began speaking to me in Korean again. He talked for a long time, and I didn’t understand a single word. I said, “Grandpa, I told you I can’t understand you!” But he just smiled and nodded and kept on talking. After a while, I just listened. I liked the sound of his raspy voice filling the warm attic. My mother gave my grandfather a colorful shiny hand fan that he used to keep himself cool during the hot afternoons. My father gave him a small transistor radio, which my grandfather listened to late at night, tuned to the Korean Gospel station. My mother also gave him a goat-hair brush, rice paper, an ink stick, and an inkstone to practice his calligraphy, a special kind of writing. One day I was watching him draw lines on the paper.video converter He looked up and said, “You.” I was surprised. Another English word. “Me,” I said. He smiled, his face wrinkling. “You,” he said again. “Won Chul.” “Me,” I said. “Won Chul is my middle name.”world of warcraft gold He nodded and dipped his brush in the inkstone, shaking off some of the extra ink. “You,” he said. “Won Chul.” “I know my middle name,” I said, getting annoyed. He talked to me in Korean again for a long time, then motioned for me to come closer. I walked to him. He smelled like mothballs and fish.world of warcraft gold He drew some stick figures overlapping each other, swirling his brush easily, quickly. “Won,” he said, pointing. He drew another figure, this time going slowly. The brush made a swish sound on the thin rice paper. He pointed to this second figure and said, “Chul.” Bringing me nearer so that I could study the picture, he said, “Won Chul. You.” “That’s my name?” He nodded. “Won Chul.”world of warcraft gold “That looks neat,” I said. He pushed it toward me. “For me?” I asked. “For Won Chul,” he said. My mother later told me that this was hanja, a special Korean way of writing using the Chinese alphabet. This was the hanja version of my Korean name. She said, “Your grandfather was once a famous artist.world of warcraft gold All the people in his town wanted him to draw their names.” “Wow,” I said, holding the rice paper carefully. “You know what your name means, don’t you?” she said. world of warcraft gold “It means ‘Wise One.’ Do you remember?” “I remember,” I said. I held up my Korean name to the light, the paper so thin it glowed. Not too long after that my grandfather went to a nursing home, and during the next summer he died while I was away at camp. My father turned the attic into a storage room. Now it’s filled with dusty boxes of old clothes and shoes and old furniture. I still have the drawing of my Korean name. wow power leveling My mother had it framed for me, and it hangs in my room right now. I wonder what my grandfather used to tell me those afternoons when he spoke in Korean, going on and on in this strange language that I never learned. Maybe he was telling me stories. Maybe he was telling me about his life in Korea. Sometimes, if I go up into the attic and listen very carefully, I can almost hear his voice rising and falling, telling me stories I don’t understand. I can almost see him in the corner, hunched over, listening to his radio and fanning himself.wow power leveling I can see him swishing his brush over the rice paper, and then pointing to me, telling me my own name.

Bike Fright

Bike Fright
“OK, you can do this,” I said, trying to sound cheerful. My mom sat straddling her brand-new bike, her new helmet falling forward over her eyes. She gripped the handlebars the way I had seen her grip the steering wheel in heavy traffic, buy wow gold and she looked kind of pale. “I don’t know, Jake. There are too many people around. I don’t think I want to. . . .” I didn’t understand why my mom seemed so scared. Riding a bike was no big deal. I had learned to ride four years ago, when I was only seven. Besides, I’d never known my mom to be afraid of anything before. The night I heard noises in the attic and thought that there were monsters up there, Mom just grabbed a flashlight and marched right in. She scared those squirrels half to death. And the day I hit my head falling out of a tree and was covered in blood, Mom just sat me down, washed me off, and told me not to climb so high. So what was all this about? “Mom,” I said as patiently as I could, jordan shoes “you have to learn to ride a bike if you want to ride with me in the Bike-a-Thon, and it’s only two weeks away.” “OK,” she said finally. “OK, I can do this—I think.” “Of course you can,”jordan shoes I replied, and I reached up to adjust the chin strap on her helmet. “That’s better. Now you can see where you’re going.” “I think I liked it better when I couldn’t.” She stared down the little hill I had decided to start her on. “It’s not that steep, Mom. It’s easier to get your balance if you start off coasting. Just remember to keep your feet on the pedals, and start pedaling as soon as you get to the bottom of the hill.”jordan shoes I took a couple of steps away from the bike. My mom took a deep breath and pushed down on the top pedal just the way I’d shown her. Slowly the bicycle rolled forward, picking up speed as it coasted down the hill. The front wheel began to wobble. “Steer, Mom! Straighten it out!” I yelled.Jordan shoes Mom didn’t seem to hear me. She and the bike turned left, went off the sidewalk, and rolled into a little green bush. Then slowly Mom and the bike fell over. “Mom!” I shouted, running down the hill. “Are you all right?” Several people came running toward us. jordan shoes I guess they had heard me yelling. My mom hadn’t made a sound. “Mom! Are you OK?” I asked. I knelt down beside her. “No.” Her face was hidden under her arm, so her voice was kind of muffled. “What’s the matter? Is something broken?” jordan shoes I was so scared. “No,” was her only reply. “Get up and let me see,” I said. “No.” Mom didn’t move. By now there were lots of people standing around me, my mom, and the little broken bush. A concerned-looking man in a jogging suit stepped forward. “Son, would you like me to call an ambulance?” “I don’t know,” I answered, and looked at my mom.wow power leveling “No,” my mom yelled. “I’m fine. Jordan shoes Please go away!” “She’s learning to ride,” I tried to explain to all those people. “She wasn’t going very fast.” “Come on, lady! You gotta get back up on the horse that threw ya!” some man shouted. “It was a bike!” I shouted back. A small gray-haired lady standing close by said softly, “Remember The Little Engine That Could. ’I think I can, I think I can. . . .’” “They’re not going to go away, are they?” my mom whispered. “I think they want to see that you’re OK,” I whispered back. “Oh, all right!” My mom sat up and brushed the grass and leaves and little berries off her sweater. Finally she stood up. Everyone began to clap, and my mom’s face turned bright pink.wow power leveling “Thank you for your concern, but as you can see, I’m just fine.” Mom took a few steps around to show them that she wasn’t hiding a broken leg or a sprained ankle. Everyone clapped again and then went on their way. “Enough for today?” I asked hopefully. I didn’t want to go through that again anytime soon. “No, Jake,” she said in a way that surprised me. “No. I almost had it, and then I let myself get scared. I know I can do it this time!” Now this sounded more like my mom. I helped her pull the bike out of the bush and push it up the hill. Mom adjusted her helmet again and got on the bike. wow power leveling She didn’t look quite so pale this time. “Ready?” I asked. She nodded, and I backed away. There went Mom down the hill, and just as the bike reached the bottom where the sidewalk became flat and smooth, she started pedaling. I ran down the hill after her. She had pedaled quite a way ahead of me when she looked back over her shoulder. I could see that she was smiling. She let go of one of the handlebars to give me a thumbs-up sign. “No, no!” I yelled. “Use both hands!” But it was too late. Mom and the bicycle went off the sidewalk and fell over together in the grass. Again. “Mom! Mom! Are you hurt?” I ran up to her. This time she was already on her feet, and she was laughing. “Did you see me? I did it! I did it! I really did it!” Then she stopped and looked at me. “I mean,” she said, rumpling my hair, “we did it.”

For we were not the German Afrikakorps but the British Eighth Army—the Desert Rats.

The Universal Language

The Universal Language
It is love that makes the world go round. And it is also love that has such power to overcome all difficulties. So we say: “Love will find a way.” As smile is a facial expression showing pleasure, affection, seo company and friendliness, it is the commonest way to show our good will perfectly without saying anything. A Chinese saying runs: “Never hit a person who is smiling at you.” It is a time-proven fact that the smile is a language all its own — a universal language — understood by the people of every nation in the world. buy wow gold We may not speak the same tongue as our foreign neighbors, but we smile in the same tongue. We need no interpreter for thus expressing love, happiness, or good will. One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality clashed with mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. My antagonismtoward that clerk and the entire establishment mounted with each step.buy wow gold On the outside, standing at the curb, was a dark-complexione young man in his early twenties. buy wow gold His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, dazzling smile covered his face. I succumbed immediately. The magnetic power of that radiant smile dissolved all bitterness within me, and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding. “Beautiful day, isn’t it?” buy wow gold I remarked, in passing. Then, obeying an impulse, I turned back. “I really owe you a debt of gratitude,” I said softly. His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly探. “Carlos, he no speak English,” buy wow gold she volunteered. “You want I should tell him something?” In that moment I felt transformed. Carlos’ smile had made a big person of me. My friendliness and good will toward all mankind stood ten feet tall. “Yes,” my reply was enthusiastiand sincere, “tell him I said, ‘Thank you!’” “Thank you?” The woman seemed slightly bewildered.buy wow gold I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. “Just tell him that,” I insisted. “He’ll understand, I am sure!” Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning. From that day on, I became smile-conscious,Louis Vuitton handbags and I practice the art diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody. When I pulled a boner in traffic,wow power leveling taking the right-of-way from the other car with my blundering, I’d smile and hunch my shoulders apologetically.wow power leveling This action on my part would invariably draw a good-natured smile in return. If the other fellow was at fault — and if I could remember my resolution in time! — he’d get a broad smile of understanding. This took a bit of doing at first. I’ll admit it wasn’t always easy, but it was fun. The results were sometimes amazing. Many times, a broad, friendly smile would completely ward off ill-feeling and tension. I’m wondering now how many tragic accidents could be avoided on our overcrowded highways, wow power leveling if every person behind a steering wheel remembered to smile! Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, “All our other features were made for us, but a man makes his own mouth.” Keep smiling, and you’ll not only be glad that you’re alive but the other fellow will be glad, too!

I can do anything
I was born with a rare birth defectworld of warcraft gold called TARSA Syndrome综合症, which means I am missing the radius bone in my forearms.
