train

Human's life is like one way train where it moves forward and it never turns back until it reaches a final destination. A person may not turn back to what one has already done. The person may turn back in order to do the exact things but the process of making the things may be different. It is the same like a train, although it does its work routinely but there are rainy days,hot ,broke down, etc.

Appearance of each train is similar but passengers in each train are different everyday. It is the same with people's mood, some people are quite moody, some people may be a happy-go-lucky type, eventhough we have a similar appearance (2eyes, 1 mouth, 1nose, etc) but ecah person has different types of characteristics.

A train stops in every station, some peple goes out, some may come in. It is the same like people who work in which they need to take a rest in order to recharge their energy. It is also can be referred to a person who has too much things to say in one's heart and by speaking it out, it will help one to realese the problem.

The money that we have paid for the train, is the same like bargaining. It is like in order to get something in return, we should pay /do something.

Old train may not be used by the company anymore due to slow and the coming out of a new train which is working efficiently and more high tech.

The railways which are not straight forward can be interpreted as a person's life which may not always be easy. Some train may be put to rest by the company for aday or a long time. It can be seen as there are unemployment people in this society

do and donts

I am just not understand that there is an existence of a person who only knows how to omplain but do nothing in order to improve a situation. This person should do omething to the situation instead of keep complaining. There is no used of it. Lets say one's say something on how bla bla bla, one should go and do it, dont just sit down and say only. Action is more important than words or promised that one has made.

Sometimes , it is easy to say something but the action is not that easy. Secondly, do not make apromise that u cannot do it because in the end you will just make a person who you have already made the promise regret especially if the person has a hiogh expectation on you.

Human's ability are limited, do whatever you can do and if one think that he/ she is unable to cope with taht, then dont do it. By doing something which is more than what you can do , may just harm yourself. Accept your limitation.

Thirdly, dont always be a person who like to follow everything that what other oerson do either in concious or unconsious stages. that person may not like to be the role model. I think this type of person( who likes to follow) do bot have their own opinion. They must try to be a strong person in this sense and not only know how to complain and follow a lot.

Look at yourself before complaining about others. You are no good than others. There is a sentence which says that 'people who always about others are the one who have no ability or cannot do as others. We are no one in this world.

If you think that you are better than others , what make you think so? have you done any contribution to the society? It is true that everybody has a unique side but I just cannot stand of a person who is very proud of his/herself. think like slapping them.

Fourthly, better be honest than lie. What is the purpose of lying? Is it for good or bad? if you are lying for good then it still can be accepted but if you are lying in order to ruin a person life or to ruin something, then this cannot be accepted at all. no forgiveness for this.

Lastly, be yourself and dont try to act like someone in order to get something. It is true that if you are not yourselves when you want to get something and then youn can get it. But once yo have got it, are you going to be like that or be yourself ? What I think of this person is useless eventhough he/she has high value oh his/herself , no value at all.

miracle

Wednesday (13-10-04) was my bad day. It was raining the whole morninf and the electricity in the house had been cut down because uncle did not pay for it. Further I have gone to international office (IO) to extend my student pass but they are not sure when are they going to give my passport back.

I must get my passport back efore 12 Nov as I need to go somewhere. If they cannot give me before that time, I dont know what am I supposed to do already. A lot of preparation must be done in order to make a student visa such as attendance records, results, payment receipt, photo, photocopy of passport, bla bla bla.

When I wanted to hand up the fees, I just realised that I had lost my wallet, I was quite blurred and I thought why was I so careless? I had searched the house up and down (in the dark) but still could not find.

Sometime around that time, I made a promise to myself that if i could find my wallet or there was a person who would return my wallet back, I would not talking bad (gossip) about others already.
Then suddenly, a guy who lives next to my room, have returned the wallet and nothing lost. This is really a miracle and since that time I have not started to talk bad (gossip) about others , only one or two times.

the moral of this is , dont be so careless and want to do everything quickly, sometimes you may forget to do something. Secondly, dont be so forgetful, remember where do you put your things, therefore if next time you need it, you can find it easily. thirdly, when you need to do that things, be focus on it, dont think of all the problems that arise from it. lastly dont forget to pay electricity bills.

Evelyn

The story is about a father who is willing to do anything just to get his children back. Minister of Education had ruled that a child who had only a parent should be sent to churh. The father had made alot of application to the minister to get his children back but it always rejected, therefore with a help from a barrister (without fees) from America, they appealed to High court but justice was not on their side. Later, they went to Supreme court to get justice. 2 out of 3 judges were in flavoured of the father and therefore as a result of it, all children in ireland were free to go back to their homes.

Supreme court situation and judgements
Irish constitution: Art 1, Irish constitution shall be consisted with the law of God
Art 41 Parent and child is fundamental God given rights to enjoyment mutual society
Art 42 A blameless parent shall bot be deprived of his/her rights to direct the child education
The Minister by denying the father application , is said to have denied the Irish constitution (argument from the appelant)
the Holy family consists of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. The argument from respondents 'how can you as a single parent and as a catholic raised the children?
the father-' Holy trinity -father, son and Holy Spirit- love, faith and hope
Evelyn's prayer- Lord God, the guide the universe with love, here the prayer we make for the country, the beauty country of Ireland, thou...... truth and justice may flourish
Lord's Judgement: children act 1941 s 10 contravene fundamental parent right
- "we are officer of the law and must not govern by sentiment'
'determine case with head not heart'
'no precedent'
R v Clarke- parent has inalienable right to child however it was decided under common law and common law is overwritten by statute
Irish constitution is a written constitution and because of Evelyn prayer, trust and justice may flourish.
It is a very touching movie and a lot of things that we can learn from this movie


Sudden cardiac death

Sudden cardiac death is the sudden loss of heart function in a person with/without heart disease. Death occurs instantly/shortly after symptoms appear.
There is no special medication to stop the irregular heart beat but according to Dr Alexander Leaf who is the Jackson Professor of Clinical Medicine,Emeritus,Harvard University, omega-3 fatty acids can prevent sudden cardiac death in humans.
American Heart Association has now recommended on eating two servings of fatty fish per week and adding 1 g of EPA and DHA fish oil supplements for those patients having documented coronary heart disease and those in the warned high risk group.
A new British has found dangerous levels of fire retardents in cod liver oil-based dietary supplements sold in UK, there is evidence that fire retardents interfere with hormone function in wildlife and may be implicated in developmental difficulties in children.
In a study of 15 obese women who had roughly 10kg of fat removed by liposuction, researchers found that liposuction did not improve blood pressure, blood fat concentration, C-reactive protein and other biomakers for heart disease. Liposuction is only help people to look better.

advertisement

I saw an advertisement by The school of H&T 'the good life ,world class quality'.What doest it mean by that? in general, good life means very satisfactory life because of being pleasant, enjoyable,of high quality,effective or suitable. Is that mean that by joining H&T, a person could have a good life like swiss quality? Then what does it mean by swiss quality? Is there any guarantee that people who live in Swiss have a good life?
I know that the advertisement means that the programme or the course has a very good quality, but by looking at the sentence alone, it may be interpreted differently. further, can it guarantee that after graduation, these people will have a good life? If these people do not have a good life, they will not be able to sue. It is because the advertisement is only an invitation to treat. Offer is made when aperson registers his/her name and it is depend on the staff whether he/she wants to accept it or not. Fisher v Bell c/f Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball.. The general rule of offer and acceptance is not the same in every country, is it? so if there is a similar advertisement in other country, can they sue? I do not think that they can sue as if people are allowed to sue any advertisement, the company ,etc who amke the advertisement will be bankrupt and it will open floodgates to the courts. If the company is bankrupt , it will lead to unemployment which may lead to riots/march and poverty
