This short passage was also written last year when I was a little kiddy with my ex-gf. Only after reading this passage today have I comprehensed how love can change one’s mind so dramartically.
It’s funny for a freshman in college to think about engagement or even marriage. But a person in love proves an eccentric.
With my knowledge, a small ring with 10 carats diamond will capture the heart of your girlfriend with ease so she will be willing to be updated to fiancée or wife. Sometimes you just want to thank the God for he roots vanity in women.
The sad truth is that I am but a rich man, so it won’t be practical.
What about this?
Armed with incensed flowers and with one kneel down, I propose to my girl in the center of a plaza, where stands statures of Cupid and small fountains and pigeons spread their snow white wings; or in a restaurant with some sonata of Mozart. Oh, it’s too romantic for a straight-forward man to carry out. I wonder whether I will shudder at the moment I say” Will you marry me?”
Yes, telephone! Maybe I should choose telephone. She can’t see my face and can’t find out how nervous I am. But I can’t see her face either, so I can’t know whether she is pleased or not. What’s more, telephone is not formal.
Pondering for a while, I dismiss any elaborate versions and prefer a simple one: Rush to her home in the morning and knock at the door with armful roses. As soon as she opens it, I will say to her:
Good Morning! I want to marry you right now. Do you want to be my wife for the rest of our life?”
And then? Maybe prepare breakfast for her……
This article was written after a real tragedy which became a topic at that time last semester. I always have something to talk about when such things happen. It should have been posted last year, but the original copy was collected by my teacher who had no intention to give it back to me……OMG……
You may feel acquainted with this title; yes, it’s taken from a famous poet from XuZhimo
The news came that a girl who lived in Block 6 had committed suicide by jumping off from the top the building. With smiles, my friend told me about it. I felt uneasy and I thought he was kidding me for I had never connected my mind with death.
The next day, the campus was filled with smell of this news which had mysteriously became a kind of starter when greeting. One would ask like this:
“Have you ever heard……?”
The other, astonished by the words, faltered for a while and replied:
“It’s scaring. Is that true?”
“Yes, it’s true!”

今天看到自己高二写的议论文，第一感觉是“自己太有才了”。从一则新闻切入的确很不错，如果是我现在写，估计会用一堆排比句吧，但是，最让人吐血的是论点在之后发生着微妙的转移，从“细节决定成功”到了“细节很重要”，也就是脱离了“成功”。这种错误在写中文作文的时候也特别容易出现，可谓关系类作文的pitfall，幸好今年高考之中似乎没有关系类作文。还有一点让我吃惊的是，原来我以前记得这么多名人名言，现在脑袋里记着的大概都是那些没用的词汇吧，叹气……
It wasn’t until Shanghai Railway 2 had already began its service that officials have realized the particulars in the design of Railway 1 by German engineers. After a few days’ re-evaluating, Chinese engineers got fully convinced by their exact measurements and many personalized settings, for example: the edge of platforms had been beautifully decorated with black marble so as to show that passengers the train is going to stop only one mile away while Railway 2 not. The authorities had no choice but have to employ more workers to keep order in Railway 2. More manual work, thus, meant more payout. Owing to this the company hadn’t made both ends meet yet.
A small leak will sink a great ship – B.Franklin
Perhaps nothing could be more annoyed when you are defeated because of some small mistakes, so does that captain. The incidents you have taken lightly, however, may balk your hopes as the last twilight twinkles for you; spoil your efforts though you have got through all the hardship; frustrate your attempts to set up great career in the future. In other words, the most serious deformity that lead you to failure is no longer your lack of skill but carelessness over minutiae.
He who would climb the ladder must begin at bottom, as you should always start with the small. And then, you will discover: students master more key structures than most do; scientists go further in the contemplation of researching than most do; businessmen seize more opportunities that should be originally taken seriously than most do; artists create more works that is pure, fine, and smooth than most do……
They are ill discoverers that think there is no land when they can see nothing but sea. In other scene, disregarding the incidents is noting but a grief, for whether you will succeed is often determined on them.
As the whole society is getting more and more advanced, all kinds of jobs are becoming more and more complex as well. In this situation, paying attention to the minutiae is also a kind of characteristics that you could always benefit from.
In conclusion, it’s no wonder that to conduct the incidents is to hold the key to success, which is unchangeable no matter when and where you work, study, and live…….
