Run Through the Rain

She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth it has no time to flow down the spout.
　　We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently, others 4)irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.
　　Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in. "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said.
　　"What?" Mom asked.
　　"Let's run through the rain!" She repeated.
　　"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.
　　This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain."
　　"We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said.
　　"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm."
　　"This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?"
　　"Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!"
　　The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say.
　　Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. Time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. "Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said. Then off they ran.
　　We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing. Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories. So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories every day!
　　To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.

Culture difference

As is known to us, culture plays a very important part in our lives. Without it, it would be very hard to understand what people mean. Especially, the culture used in the business.The business negotiation is mostly effected by the culture of different areas. The difference in culture may result in the conflict of culture in the negotiation; even make a failure which would make the business stop. Therefore, it is quite important to grasp correctly when making business negotiations.Due to different backgrounds of culture different countries negotiations have different ways of negotiating. For example, when you negotiate with Americans, they like to do it quickly, which makes people feel sudden. There is a good point in case that an American company took a bargain to Japanese, which has been decided, but when American and Japanese met for the first time, the American put the copy of bargain front of the Japanese. At that time, the Japanese felt very agape. They thought that people who take out the contract for the first time are very crude and unadvisable. So the Japanese drew a conclusion that it would not be wise to carry on further business with such a company.What’s more, it has some formal or informal activities in business negotiations. For example, drinking tea, coffee and so on. Those society activities were affected greatly by the culture, even decided the negotiation whether could continue or not. When Arabia invited you to have a coffee, but you didn’t drink it, they thought that is against good manners of friendship. If you refused a cup of coffee, which they invited you in the business; it would bring you big trouble. Once an American businessman refused Sandi Arabia’s coffee. This kind of brush-off was thought in the Arabia world as a slight to their dignity. Finally, this American businessman lost a good chance.Germans are very punctual. If you are late for negotiations, the Germans would be very cold to talk. In addition, The Germans don’t like to shake hands with people repeatedly. If you were to shake with him repeatedly, he may feel very agitated.Different styles of dress also affect business negotiations. The negotiation between a Korean company and a bigger film producer company of Hollywood appeared the concession. Because the Korean wore the suit in the business negotiation, which the representative of Hollywood wore jeans. The Korean thought that people dressed western style in business negotiation. It could express yourself to their respect this kind of different culture caused their business negotiation to fail.Form these examples, when can see that so we must learn more and more about the cultures from different countries

My Feeling

Labor's day would come, I felt very happy, because I thought I would have a holiday. I could go home to talk with my mother and visit my good friends. I called my father and said I would go home. But my father said, "you can find a part-job in your holiday, and temper yourself. You must learn how to be an independent girl in society." So I didn't go home on Labor's day.On April 30, I went to the station to pick up my sister and we talked much on our way to the Shunde Polytechnic. When I and my sister arrived at the Xiao Fei Xiang, we met Don and his wife. We talked with him for several minutes. At that time I felt very happy. The next day, I got up very early and finished everything, because this was my first job in society. I must do it well. When I got on the No.8 bus I felt very tense, because I heard that many people who have done it said part-time jobs are very tiring. I was thinking about the boss,whether he was a good person or not, and whether I can do the job well? Besides, what will my sister who was staying in the dormitory be doing? How is Jobee and Yan now? Many questions came out in my mind. But I didn't know how to answer them. I missed them very much. When I arrived at the place where I was to work, the company hadn't opened at that time. So I sat outside the door and waited for it to open. After a moment, the company opened, and from that day I always tried my best to do the job very well. After only one day had passed, I realised that I had learned many things which I have never learned before I did this job. So I felt very happy.When I and Jobee and Yan arrived at our dormitory, we talked about what happened to us this day, because we all worked in diifferent places. In a word, we all learned many things and we all felt very happy. This experience was very good and important.
