有一种美丽叫放弃

一次默默的放弃，放弃一个心仪却无缘份的朋友；
放弃某种投入却无收获的感情；
放弃某种心灵的期望；放弃某种思想。
这时就会生出一种伤感，然而这种伤感并不妨碍自己去重新开始，
在新的时空内将音乐重听一遍，将故事再说一遍！
因为这是一种自然的告别与放弃，它富有超脱精神，因而伤感得美丽！

曾经有种感觉，想让它成为永远。
过了许多年，才发现它已渐渐消逝了。
然后才懂：
原来握在手里的，不一定就是我们真正拥有的；
我们所拥有的，也不一定就是我们真正铭刻在心的！ *****其实人生很多时候需要自觉的放弃！
世间有太多的美好的事物。
对没有拥有的美好，我们一直在苦苦的向往与追求。
为了获得，而忙忙碌碌。

其实自己真正的所需要的，
往往要在经历许多年后才会明白，甚至穷尽一生也不知所终！
而对已经拥有的美好，我们又因为常常得而复失的经历，而存在一份忐忑与担心。
夕阳易逝的叹息、花开花落的烦恼、人生本是不快乐的！ *****因为拥有的时候，我们也许正在失去，
而放弃的时候，我们也许又在重新获得。
对万事万物，我们其实都不可能有绝对的把握。
如果刻意去追逐与拥有，就很难走出患得患失的误区。
所以生命需要升华出安静超脱的精神。
明白的人懂的放弃，真情的人懂的牺牲，幸福的人懂得超脱！

“我不是因你而来到这个世界，却是因为你而更加眷恋这个世界！
如果能和你在一起，我会对这个世界满怀感激，
如果不能和你在一起，我会默默的走开，
却仍然不会失掉对这个世界的爱和感激。

感激上天让我与你相遇与你别离，完成上帝所创造的一首诗！”
生命给了我们无尽的悲哀，也给来我们永远的答案。
于是，安然一份放弃，固守一份超脱！
不管红尘世俗的生活如何变迁，
不管个人的选择方式如何，
更不管握在手中的东西轻重如何，

我们虽逃避也勇敢，虽伤感也欣慰！
我们像往常一样向生活的深处走去，我们像往常一样在逐步放弃，又逐步坚定！

有一种感觉总在失眠时，才承认是“相思”；
有一种缘分总在梦醒后，才相信是“永恒”；
有一种目光总在分手时，才看见是“眷恋”；
有一种心情总在离别后，才明白是“失落”。

Swimming lesson 2 - breaststroke

The breaststroke is a swimming style in which the swimmer is on their chest and the torso does not rotate. It is the most popular recreational style due to its stability and the ability to keep the head out of the water a large portion of the time. In most swimming classes, beginners learn either the breaststroke or the front crawl first. But in competitive swimming, the breaststroke is regarded as one of the most difficult strokes, requiring comparable endurance and leg strength to other strokes.

Breaststroke is the slowest of the four official styles in competitive swimming. The fastest breaststroke swimmers can swim about 1.57 meters per second. Although it is the slowest of the four competitive strokes, it is commonly agreed that it is the one of the most difficult when done correctly. It is also often the hardest to teach to rising swimmers due to the importance of timing and the coordination required to move the legs properly.

Breaststroke is swum while leaning on the chest, with the arms only breaking the surface of the water slightly and legs always underwater, while the head is underwater for the second half of the stroke. The kick is sometimes referred to as a "frog kick" because of the resemblance to a frog's kick, but when done correctly it is more of a "whip kick" due to the whip-like motion that moves starting at the core down through the legs.

The body is often at a steep angle to the forward movement. This slows down the swimmer more than any other style. Professional breaststrokers use abdominal muscles and hips to add extra power to the kick, although most do not perfect this technique until the collegiate level. This much faster form of breaststroke is referred to as "wave-action" breaststroke and fully incorporates the whip-kick.

A special feature of competitive breaststroke is the underwater pullout. From the streamline position, one uses the arms to pull all the way down past the hips. As the arms are pulling down, one downward dolphin kick is allowed (as of the 2005 season), though still optional (However, any upward motion with the dolphin kick is strictly forbidden, and will result in a disqualification). This is followed by the recovery of the arms to the streamline position once more, and then a kick. The pullout at the start and after the turns contributes significantly to the swimming times. Therefore one way to improve the swimming times is to focus on the start and the turns.

Of the four competitive strokes of swimming, breaststroke is the most efficient in terms of energy consumption over a specified distance, though it is the slowest.

History of Swimming

The history of swimming goes way back to that of prehistoric times. Books written from 2000 to 1500 BC including the Bible have references to swimming. It was mostly used in these times as a means of cleansing. Any form of competitive swimming wasn’t formed until the 1800’s in Europe. It was included in the first Olympics in 1896 in Athens, Greece.

It was noted that Ancient Egypt had cave drawings of humans swimming in the nearby sea. They often depicted a form of the breaststroke as the first type of swimming or something they used to call the front crawl. Ancient Egyptian, Grecian and Roman palaces were often equipped with swimming pools or baths. Often reserved for the elite that used them as relaxation pools and cleaning tubs.

It is noted by historians that swimming was also often used in battle. The Greeks were often regarded as solid swimmers and at the Battle of Salamis after a number of both Greek and Persian boats were destroyed it was said that all of the Persians drowned due to their inability to swim while the Greek prevailed.

The history of swimming is much easier to understand than other sports. Without any equipment to speak of an individual can take to the waters. Obviously those countries that had the most access to water were the first to adapt to swimming. History did not have the spreading of the sport as many other sports had encountered because it was basically already available. You either adopted swimming as a means of life or you just chose not to swim.

The evolution of swimming history expanded during the middle ages. A number of individuals took it upon themselves to write books about swimming. They were often focused on the ability to not drown rather than a perfect backstroke as you would imagine. Life saving concepts and techniques began to form throughout the next few hundred years and around the 18th and 19th century the sport began to evolve into more of a competition than just life safety. Swimming Associations and Clubs popped up all over the world. Some of the first in swimming history were in China, Sweden and Germany.

Schools began to believe that swimming was a natural part of any life education. Therefore, they began to teach swimming in schools not just as a life safety course but as an extracurricular activity. Schools and Universities began to adopt these practices and set up clubs and swim teams. Competitions began to arise around the mid 1800’s. England was the first to modernize the sport and incorporate an indoor swimming pool with a swim team. They began to formulate new swimming styles including the sidestroke. Shortly after this, variations of the freestyle began to form and credit can’t really be given to one person as so many were responsible for developing this technique.

The Olympic Games of 1896 in Athens was the first real platform for the sport. There only men competed in a number of events. Throughout the 1900’s the sport evolved and saw a number of stars arise. Johnny Weissmuller, the original Tarzan completed his ten year career by never losing a race and winning five Olympic medals.

Science and technology began to play a part in the sport throughout the 1900’s as well. When scientist and coaches began studying swimmers and there underwater techniques to improve times. The swimsuits began to change as well as any form of resistance was under scrutiny from all competitors. Goggles, swim caps and different variations of training have all evolved as well. The US has seen its share of great Olympians going back to Mark Spitz who won seven gold medals in the 1972 Olympics.

The sport has evolved to a very competitive and fun sport for anyone. That has always been the great appeal that anyone can swim and we have been for the past 3000 years…So goes the history of swimming.

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

~~ Nice poem to share ~~

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

**前言-导演·吕俊霖**

每个人总有这么的一个阶段，尤其是孩童时期，总是会相信，甚至创造一个精灵、仙子或是外星人的角色。我们深信这些角色是善良的，会带我们去完成不容易实现的任务，会在一旁的守护着我们，倾听我们的声音，知道我们。

我 的小时候就是这样，老爱看月亮，跟月亮说话，月亮也会一直看着我。如果没有把记忆混淆的话，应该是在近圣诞节时期。爸爸也把传说中的圣诞老人带到了我的现 实生活中，他让我在二楼的露台前大声的对圣诞老人说出我想得到的礼物。圣诞老人也从没令我着幼小的心灵失望，爸爸给了我一个了不起的开始，也因此成就了现 在还爱发梦的我。是混淆了也好，不是也罢，月亮和露台，这个画面是到现在还很熟悉的、很温暖的。

所以故事中的——月光精灵，就这样联想出来了。

月光精灵只在晚上出现。因为晚上很黑很暗，他们会帮忙我们照亮，照亮我们的心，使我们更加勇敢也让我们安心的睡觉，这样我们的身体才会健康。就在一天的晚上，他们发现了还在工作到深夜的老公公和老婆婆。于是，他们就多了一份任务去帮助他们。

老公公和老婆婆其实是一个魔法师，但是他们没有高强的法力。他们把大家不要的东西，用他们的一双手再次的赋予新的生命，新的使命。

你也可以叫他们环保老公公和环保老婆婆。

现在大家都在谈环保，环保不是只有大公司、政府或是首领才能做到的，环保也有小的做。学习从自己开始做。这样多多个‘小小的自己’集合在一起，就可以是一个大机构了。希望故事里头的老公公和老婆婆，可以再一次的提醒你走入环保的潮流里。

故事中，以上的角色也将遇到了强调物质享受、浪费成性，欺压弱者的钱夫人。故事的发展，钱夫人一样会有恶报的惩罚。可是，她还是得到了宽恕，善的引导。

世界上就多了一个好人，不是更好吗？

A submarine cable in the Middle East has been snapped, adding to global net problems caused by breaks in two lines under the Mediterranean on Wednesday.The earlier break disrupted service in Egypt, the Middle East and India. “The situation is critical for us in terms of congestion,” Omar Sultan, chief executive of Dubai’s ISP DU, told The Associated Press, following the most recent break.

South East Asia network mostly will route from your country to Taiwan, India and other country and as India line faced the same problem and it cause us getting the same problem as well. Singapore line mostly route the other way to Australia and will not affected.
