The emperor asked him
On the morning after Aladdin's palace had been removed, the Emperor got up early as usual. He opened his window and found that the splendid new palace opposite the palace was gone. There was only the empty, flat ground left. He was so surprised that he shuddered with terror. He rubbed his eyes to prove that he was right, and after a long time of careful observation proved that he was right, and that the palace in front of him had indeed disappeared. Tears flowed from his eyes and ran down his cheeks, wetting his beard.
Jose CabreraPublished 11 months ago in ConfessionsA rhubarb pumpkin
A rhubarb pumpkin grows alone in a dense forest. How he wants to be a lantern with a human face! But in the depths of this great forest, where there are few human trails, who can find him or make him into a lantern with a human face? Besides, in a little while the leaves falling from the trees would cover him with a big, colorful quilt, and no one would see him. Rhubarb pumpkin is in a hurry!

“I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat, or a prostitute.” ― Rebecca West, ‘The Young Rebecca: Writings’ (1911–1917)

She sighed to herself and walked up to the emerald and said in a low voice, "Allah bless you, my child. Soon you will be free." Then she secretly told Emerald-Green that she had been asked by Ali Saar to find out where she was and to rescue her, and that she should watch outside carefully and prepare to escape at night.
andre gregoryPublished 11 months ago in ConfessionsLife is like the extension
Life is like the extension of a person's life, only with diligence. Work hard. Sweat. Struggle and persistence to reach the other side of victory. But the most important, the most valuable is persistence. I once saw a picture of two men digging a mine, one up and one down, one in front and one behind. The man in front was actually less than one meter away from the diamond, and he only had to stick to the deep depth and swing a few times to reach the desired result, but he still chose to give up, carrying the pick and returning disappointed. Although the other person is slow, but still hard to beat the stone in front, even if tired sweating, but still insist, the final result naturally no objection, stick to the end of the person got the harvest. In life we are also not so, often only a step away from success, but give up, this is how regrettable, regret. Of course, maybe not all the persistence will be fruitful, such as we do one thing, although you try your best, no slack, but meet you is still a failure, you may be lost, even doubt that their original persistence is a mistake, but, as long as you try, that is the winner in life. "A thousand miles without piling up steps; Do not accumulate small streams, beyond the river." Persist may fail, but do not persist, always give up halfway will never succeed. For example: do Olympiad problem, even if the problem is complex, also want to insist on doing, otherwise will fail; When learning to ride a bicycle, if you don't insist on getting up and practicing after falling down, learning is a fool's dream; Learning Chinese, if you do not pay attention to adhere to the usual accumulation, language performance is difficult to improve. "Water dripping through the stone, the rope saw the wood broken," small drops of water through the years can still drop through the stone, in life, when we encounter setbacks, or sigh the fate of injustice, adhere to is not the most wise choice? The sun always after the wind and rain, no matter how far the road, no matter how rugged, do not give up, perhaps success is not far away, therefore, life needs to insist!Life is like the extension of a person's life, only with diligence.

When I was in the third and fourth grade, I began to appreciate the elegance of the four great classics. In the Romance of The Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was eager to seek talents, Kong Ming was resourceful, and Zhou Yu, handsome and talented, showed me the wonderful thirty-six stratagem stories. In Journey to the West, the scene of Sun Wukong causing havoc in heaven was vividly depicted by Wu Cheng 'en, which made me read it with laughter. "Outlaws of the Marsh" 108 generals heroic heroic, let my heart give birth to respect; The criticism of the feudal society in the dream of Red Mansions and the characterization of the characters made me applaud.

sherri berghoffPublished 11 months ago in ConfessionsLast week, a family
Last week, a family of three came to Dangkou ancient town to play. After entering, the flow of people like the tide in, the sparkling lake, there are many full of ships, and the Chinese quintessence - Beijing Opera lingering in our ears, a note seems to emerge in front of our eyes. An ancient building stands in front of my eyes, although it is built after, but when I see these buildings, it seems to have really come to the ancient times, a woman wearing cheongsam in the Republic of China appeared in front of my eyes. The trinkets in the shop brought back many memories of the past. Many times, I often think, the Chinese people's labor is imaginable! The flower in the pot is in full bloom, showing its charming body in the sun. A lot of people will go to see, some people will immediately take a picture with their phones, some people will smell, and some people will pick it off, smell it twice, and throw it away. Some people see will scold two sentences, some people see will stop, because this person's approach is too selfish, too uncivilized. If you said that to him, he would say, "Nothing. There's plenty more out there." Yes, there are many. If every one of China's 1.3 billion people is just like him, will there be enough flowers to pick? This is a scenic spot, not a home for anyone to do whatever they want. Besides, if you don't want it, just throw it in the trash. It will only ruin the environment. Then he would say; "Aren't there sanitation workers?" Yes, there are sanitation workers, but you are Chinese, this scenic spot belongs to China, should be protected with everyone's weak strength. Sanitation workers work for hours every day, regardless of wind, rain, temperature, can rely on their own a lift of the hand and leg, why bother sanitation workers? Whenever I see that long and wide road, it seems that I will see a group of workers dragging stones, cement in the labor. In the summer, the sweat rained down, and in the winter, their hands were still red with cold with gloves on. Every time I eat the plump rice, I seem to see farmers working under the sun. When I think of that man's behavior, I feel ashamed of him. The environment is everyone's, is to rely on everyone to maintain.

SajeethPublished 11 months ago in ConfessionsWhen sharing a story can get you in trouble
I’m all for giving someone honest and direct feedback. I think if someone genuinely wants to improve, they need to know where they can do better. I try to stick by that behavior in most aspects of my life… except when it comes to my bosses. Unless they invite direct blunt feedback, and I know that they won’t make my life a misery if I give it to them, I usually just try not to rock the boat.

Limbo is a theological concept that was discussed and debated in Catholic doctrine for many years, but is now no longer considered an official belief of the Catholic Church.
