Taiwan's passion for baseball has many roots

The baseball aroused Taiwan's passion again!

A researcher, Hsieh Shih-yuan, at the national Taiwan Museum who has studied the history of baseball in Taiwan, says the game is a healing force in the country.

For the Olympic Qualifying Tournament began recently, Taiwan actually did an excellent job. We got the one of three tickets to Beijing Olympics. Those young players, although some of us don't know who they are, did their best try to win every game, and it aroused Taiwan's passion and united Taiwan together. Just like Lin said on his blog "I love this! The qualifier is getting everybody together. This is what life should about: joy, tears and passion. Now I see a more united Taiwan."

Expect the younger players, there are many famous player, like Chien-ming Wang and Chin-huei Tsao. Seems there won't be lack in person of talent. Most important of all, we must do well in Beijing Olympics, to let everyone in the world knows Taiwan's baseball and passion.

Two-legged Dog

It’s a story about a dog , Faith , who have only two legs. She was born with a shriveled leg , which had been removed. Although Faith has an abnormal body , she still try hard to do everything just like a normal one. Like Faith walks “on foot” with her owner , Jude Stringfellow. Their story encourage many people , especially the one who is challenged. Faith bring hope and energy to those people.

I am impressed by the sentence " I want people to understand that you can be imperfect physically and still be perfect through your soul , through your spirit." Surely , the physical imperfection doesn't mean everything of one's life. Think with optimistic and positive mind , you're not the only one who is imperfect. It's more important to bring hope and inspires to yourself , and so to another , just like the two-legged dog , Faith.

A Good Sentence

Make A Difference Today----by: Moin.H

A man was walking down the beach at sunset. As, he walked along, he saw another man in the distance. He noticed this man kept leaning down, picking up something and throwing it out into the water, again and again. As, he approached even closer, he noticed that the man was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach. He was throwing them back into the water, one by one.
Puzzled, he approached the man and said, "Good Evening. I was wondering what you are doing."
"I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide and all these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If, I don't throw them back into the ocean, they'll die up here from lack of oxygen."
"But, there must be thousands of starfish on this beach. You can't possible get to all of them. And, don't you realize this is probably happening on hundreds of beaches all up and down this coast. Can't you see that you can't possibly make a difference?"
The man bent down and picked up yet another starfish, and threw it back into the ocean. With a smile he replied, "Made a difference to that one !!!"
Just remember, no matter how small the deed it really does makes a difference. Make a difference today. Do something nice for someone else, even if it's just sending this card to a friend and letting them know somebody cares about them.

I like the sentence "Made a difference to that one !!!" the most. It's a really meaningful sentence. Maybe it just waste his energy to throw starfish back into the water , but the starfish he threw surely survive. And it surely caused difference! Some little good things can accumulate into a huge one.
There is a Chinese common saying "勿以善小而不為 勿以惡小而為之." It is close to the meaning of the story. It means "don't do nothing that just a little good , don't do something that just a little bad."
