A woman will wear high heels over 51 years of her life, according to a study which links stilettos to the female psyche. The average woman puts on her first pairs at 12 and takes off her last at 63, when comfort begins to take precedence. She will start with a low one-inch heel and build up to a towering five inches by the age of 23, as she teerters into womanhood.
There will be a small dip in the early 30s, when many women are running after young children. But the first real drop does not occur until the late 40s and early 50s, when the average heel falls to just under two inches.Only old age and increasing frailty finally brings the enduring love affair to a reluctant end, sales figure show.Said Debenhams spokesman Ed Watson: 'Deciding to put away their high heels for the last time can have the same psychological impact upon women that retiring from work has upon men.'It's an all too public admission that they are getting older, and so naturally many women want to postpone this evil day for as long as possible.
A woman's entire life can be mapped out according to the height of the heel she wears. After a meteoric rise, through youth and early adulthood, they begin to settle down before dropping back gracefully to a comfortable old age.

Reading is good
I do think reading is good. Sometimes we don't have chances to go all over the world, but we can know something from the books, such as,the geographical magazines or fashionable magazines. We can open our eyes and minds from some valuable books, and they can help us to reach perfection. I read everyday,maybe spend an hour or two hours. I read some articles from website to know the latest news and others' opinions about acdemics.While, I still need to read some literature to help my writting, but I don't have the mood right now. I feel everything is in my mind and all the stuffs are close to the deadline. That makes me stressful. But I'm going to read and impove to a good reader and writer...

Something is annoying me lately
If I must tell you what makes me annoyed, I will say English. That is true. One day I told my friend,who is a english literature doctor, I hate essays. She said,"oh, come on stop" I know she likes essays very much. But for me, those are crazy things. I was a good writer in Chinese, but I cannot express me very well in English. I hate that. Also, driving is annoying me a lot. Yes, I am a new driver and I'm usually crazy on the road. I don't have enough experiences of driving, that's why when I am changing my lane, I cannot tell if the car behind me let me go or not. The third thing that annoys me is that I met a swellhead in my club, and I can't stand him. I think the megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming, and seeks to be feared rather than loved. I mean you can think youself is smarter than any others, but just don't cut a wide swath like a jerk. That's really troublesome.

Math Contest
Today I just finished the AMATYC Math Contest. In sum, I felt it was ok but again the language problems bothered me a lot. I really have a brain of math but because of my bad language level, i didn't understand many questions. I only did eight problems that I thought I really known the formula of them. So far I haven't known if I did good of not, and I'm still a little nervous about it. Actually, I tried my best to do that. I cannot say i don't care the result because I am really attracted to the reward of the winner. Huh,I don't know...I hope I would win.

Childhood Demons

"To really understand someone, you need to uncover his past insecurities and fears," says Atwood. And there's no better way to shed light on his underlying issues than by finding out about those scary experiences at the most vulnerable time of his life - childhood. Ask him what day he wishes he could redo, the biggest misconception people had about him as a teenager, or who scared him the most. "If he says he was criticized constantly by a particular teacher, it may explain why he's afraid of his superiors looking down on him," explains Shoshanna. "Or perhaps a sibling was favored over him growing up, which might reveal why he feels possessive or competitive in close relationships."

Sattva——from Yoga Sutra
The word sattva comes from the root sat, which means "being" or "truth." It's literally the power of beingness, the inner integrity that let the Buddha sit under the bodhi tree until he became enlightened, the power that supported Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., the power that you feel in cathedrals and redwood forests and in people who quietly offer help to those who need it. Sattvic strength is one part discipline and three parts trust—trust that the invisible is stronger than what you can see or touch, and that what you are speaks louder than what you say.

be dead, and to raise from the dead.
My favorite flower is Hyacinth..
The meaning of Hyacinth are:
Pink Hyacinth——Admire and romantic
Red Hyacinth——Give me a touch
White Hyacinth——Be afraid to approach
In early march, it's the right season that hyacinth bloom. There is a Greek myths about hyacinth, the Sun God Apollo fell in love with Fayed XinSi that made Western God Sophie zephyr very envy. So he demoted them as Hyacinth.From then on, Hyacinth became the pledge of love in lovers. The meaning of Hyacinth is "comfirm and forcus on" Maybe this is the constant definition of love.
Many people have fond memories of the pain past, but if one wants to get ready for new experiences, one has to come out from the past. Just like Hyacinth, when Hyacinth wither away, you have to cut the withered parts and let them raise again.
" Be dead, and to raise from the dead."This is the revelation that I see from the growth rhythm of Hyacinth!
