Why Some Strong Acids are LESS Corrosive than Weak Acids?

Hi Students,

Most of the the students are confused confused in the above mentioned questions. They always thought that weak acids must not be corrosive. This is a wrong concept. Let us revise again the topics of Acids and Bases.

Strong Acids
Strong acids completely dissociate in water, forming H+ and an anion.
There are six strong acids:

1. HCl - hydrochloric acid
2. HNO3 - nitric acid
3. H2SO4 - sulfuric acid
4. HBr - hydrobromic acid
5. HI - hydroiodic acid
6. HClO4 - perchloric acid

Weak Acids
A weak acid only partially dissociates in water to give H+ and the anion. Examples of weak acids include hydrofluoric acid, HF, and acetic acid, CH3COOH.

Strong is Different from Corrosive

Corrosiveness is related to the negatively-charged part of the acid. Hydrofluoric acid (HF), for example, is so corrosve it dissolves glass. The fluoride ion attacks the silicon atom in silica glass while the proton is interacting with oxygen. Even though it is highly corrosive, hydrofluoric acid is not considered to be a strong acid because it does not completely dissociate in water.

Great Law of Attraction Affirmations

Affirmations, really, are simple. They are you being in conscious control of your thoughts. They are short, powerful statements. When you say them or think them or even hear them, they become the thoughts that create your reality. Affirmations, then, are your conscious thoughts.

Research has shown that we have between 45,000 and 51,000 thoughts a day. That’s about 150 to 300 thoughts a minute. Research has also shown that for most people 80% of those thoughts are negative.

Now, we have been taught to think that most of these 51,000 thoughts are “sub-conscious” thoughts meaning that they are below our conscious awareness level. Affirmations actually make your sub-conscious thoughts conscious. Affirmations make you consciously aware of your thoughts. When you start making conscious positive thoughts, you actually become more aware of the negative thoughts that are always threatening to take over.

Affirmations can be further divided into different catagories. I think the most popular one should be Money Affirmation. Let's take a look on some examples.

Money Affirmation 1: I create my own reality and I have unlimited prosperity.
Money Affirmation 2: Financial abundance comes to me easily.
Money Affirmation 3: Large amounts of money come to me quickly and easily from multitudes of sources now.
Money Affirmation 4: I always have abundant amounts of money; more coming in than going out.
Money Affirmation 5: Unlimited possibilities and resources reveal themselves to me now.
Money Affirmation 6: I am comfortable having money.
Money Affirmation 7: Money is good and I deserve money.
Money Affirmation 8: I feel successful and I am successful.
Money Affirmation 9: I have more money than I ever dreamed was possible.
Money Affirmation 10: I expect only the best from my financial situation and the Universe provides just that or better.
Money Affirmation 11: I have a constant stream of money abundance in my life.
Money Affirmation 12: I have my ideal life.
Money Affirmation 13: I am able to think and feel in unlimited ways.
Money Affirmation 14: I have all the answers within myself and I implement them.
Money Affirmation 15: I am financially free.

cos a = adj/hyp
tan a = opp/adj

For obtuse angle
sin (180 - a) = sin a
cos (180 - a) = -cos a

Stay hungry. Dream big

When asking about what score you want to achieve in O-level examination, students will tend to be very conservative in setting the goal. A? hmm, too far from achieving. B?I never did that before, so maybe pass will be good enough to me.

It's not wrong to be conservative. However, it will be great if we can think big and stay hungry. If the highest score I got is C, to score A in exam is not an issue if i continue the hardwork. If we know what we really want, we will achieve it one day.

Start from today, set your own goal and do whatever it takes to achieve it. The reward will not only the result itself but the self pride, achievements that you going to get.

Fancy dream and big dream is different. If i set a goal to score A in exam but playing game everyday, it will be a fancy dream and meaningless goal. Study, keep practicing and go for physical exercises to keep the mind sharp, score in exam will not be a tough mission to achieve.

Why study hard?

Sometimes, students will always wondering, why i need to study so hard for the exam? I can see a lot of successful people drop out, or not even finish their study but yet they are so successful.

Education is always not the only mean to be successful.However, in the modern day, education already become the necessities, to train a person to react and learn new knowledge in short period.

If, for O-level, we have two years to prepare for the exam; just imagine that, in university, we only have 3 months to 4 months to prepare a few brand new subjects. Life can be more challenging ahead, however, if we equipped ourselves with good attitude, and keen to learn spirit, there's nothing challenging, our life ahead will be full of fun solving all kinds of problems.

There are more than 100 ways to motivate yourself in life. For sure, the most essential asset that we need to have is, good attitude and be positive.

Follow this blog and keep yourself motivated during this challenging period, we will keep posting some great quotes from great people, stories while helping you all preparing for the exam.

Good Results ahead. Cheers

Additional Maths Lesson 02

Yo Students! We have covered the following topics in Lesson 2:

1)Simultaneous Equations in Two Variables

Pls do your homework and submit on the coming Sunday 21st Jun! See ya!

Chemistry Lesson 03

Hi All Students,

Today we have covered the killer topic of O-Level Chemistry, Mole Concept. A lot of students confused about this 'complicated' concept. However, after the simplified explanation and defined notes, I am sure you will be enlightened.

In order to further strengthen what you have learnt, you need to read through the notes again. Do the exercises and gain more experience. You will strike the goal.

Topics that covered today:
1. Revision of last lesson.
2. Stoichiometry & Mole Concept.

Please be reminded that the next Chemistry lesson is on 29-Jun, 7.00pm-9.00pm.

Additional Maths Lesson 01

Yo students! I hope Lesson 1 had not been too boring! Ok, let us do a quick recap of the topics we had covered in Lesson 1:

1.)Quadratic Equations and Inequalities
2.)Surds and Indices
3.)Polynomials (Remainder and Factor Theorem)


Quadratic Equations and Inequalities
I am sure everyone remembers the "Discriminant" right?
Always remember that for an expression/curve/quadratic equation that is always positive, the parabola faces upwards (smiling curve) and will never cross/touch the x-axis, which means no roots (imaginary roots) Therefore...

For an expression/curve/quadratic equation that is never negative the parabola faces downwards (frowning curve) and it may either cut the x-axis at two distinct points or just touch the x-axis at one point. This means that it may have 2 distinct roots or repeated roots. Therefore ...

As for the Alpha/Beta section, things to note when solving such questions:

• Find the coefficients of the quadratic equation (a,b,c)
• Find the sum of roots.
• Find the product of roots.
  

You will be asked to find the new roots,which you will need to manipulate the equation to the original sum and product of roots. By substituiting them, you will get the new sum and product of roots. Following that always remember that you must an additional minus sign (-) for the new sum of roots for the new equation. That should solve the question. =)

Surds and Indices
Remember the law of indices on page 19 of the course book....
For surds, rationalising the denominator will be common and always remember the following:

Polynomials (Remainder and Factor Theorem)

For solving of cubic equations, do you remember how to use the equation mode in the calculator? Under Mode, choose Eqn. Choose 3. Plug in the values of a,b,c,d. Press “=” and you will get all the 3 roots. Use the first root as the factor and perform long division. From there, you will be able to factorise the quadratic equation.

Thats all for now! See you in Lesson 2!!!

How to practice more E-Maths/A-Maths questions in shortest time.

Often, when the exam is coming soon, students will encounter a problem while trying to practice more questions.

Below are a few tips to practice more questions in short period:


1. Do more challenging questions first.

• Normally, in an assessment book, the easier questions come first, followed by the tougher question. If the assessment book is in topical format, you may try the last question, normally denoted with a *, or highlighted by the book. If you are comfortable in solving a few of such questions, you may proceed to do another topic.

2.Think, with no writiing.

• It maybe very time consuming if you want to write down all the steps and working to get the answer. Furthermore, normally students are facing the problem of understanding the questions during exam, rather than don't know certain topic. Hence, this is to practice the students on understanding the question pattern and hence help in solving question in shorter time.

3.Learn beyond scope.

• Normally, experience help when solving question. If the scope of learning is only to know how to solve simple questions, find more challenging questions to do. It will not be a waste to know more than current scope, as eventually students will learn it in higher level, however, keep in mind that, if we know how to solve the questions of higher level, normally to solve lower level questions will not be tough.
  

4.Practice, Practice, and Practice

• Although we have summarize on how to practice more effectively, practices are still something that must not be missed. Students need to do a lot of practices, to prepare for the high tension environment during exam. For students with more practices, normally the questions will be solved with ease.
  

All the best for the coming exam. In Flexi Tuition Learning Group website, we will keep posting questions , some with answers to help students in preparing for the exam.:

Lesson From A Bird (Con't) (鸟的启示 续编)

What is the first thought you have when you read the article,Lesson From A Bird ? The bird(Jovan) might already died? The bird cannot survive without the food prepared by us? Or the bird already fly the highest it can, fly freely and see the different, but beautiful world since then.

The bird has the same fear you have when you are facing uncertainties. For the first few times, it stood at the window, keep chirping and waited for us to catch it back into the cage even though it already escaped from the unlatched door successfully. That was the day, when it made the final decision to fly away, it did not chirp anymore, it tried to fly for the first time, and this time, it started to feel the lovely sky, a big "cage" without boundaries.

Limiting believes are those thoughts that stop us from risking ourselves. I might not be able to do it; I am not capable; I scared if someone else see me in this way; My parents won't be happy if I do so; Everyone said this is not a good choice.

Risking is not doing something without thinking. Risking, is an act to manage the uncertainties, set the price to pay, for which you think is manageable, and "ACT ON IT".

Good luck pals, we won't know what will happen in future if we try, and risk. However, there is only one definite ending we will have if we do not try, the who you are today, with an aging body.

A man is not old until his regrets take the place of his dreams.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

当你看了鸟的启示时,你第一个想法是什么?小黄鸟(佐温)肯定是死了?没有我们准备的食物,它肯定活不了.或是,它在尽它的能力,越飞越高;自由地,享受着它从没看过的美丽世界.

小黄鸟(佐温)也有着你茫然时一样的恐惧.之前的好几次,它成功地逃了出来.可是,眼前陌生的环境,使它不敢飞出去.害怕地叫着叫着,直到我们发现了,然后把它抓回鸟笼里.一天又一天,终于,它作了最后的决定.这一次,它不叫了,它开始飞翔,第一次尝试着,没有界线的笼.

受限的思想,是阻止我们前进的绊脚石.我做不到;我没能力;我不想别人这么看我;我的家人不喜欢我这么做;大家都说不可能.这一切一切,让我们不敢尝试新事物.

冒险,不是盲目的不顾一切的做任何事情.冒险,而是了解一切,掌握代价后,实行它.

加油,朋友们.我们不会知道冒险后,我们的生活会怎么样.但是,我们很明确的知道,不试,以后的我肯定是现在的我,一个拖着老了的躯壳的我.

当一个人失去了梦想,只拥有着后悔时,才是他真正老了的时候.

Lesson From A Bird (鸟的启示)

This is a true story (这是一个真实故事)...

When you want to describe a stupid person, you call him/her 'the bird's brain'. This is how we perceive the birds as the stupid animal. The reason is simply because their brain is very small. However, this idiom does not apply on this yellow bird(refer to the bird in the picture below). Yet, its story will blow your mind.

Yellow bird, Jovan(小黄鸟，佐温)

This bird is called Jovan. It was bought over in 6 months ago. Being locked in the cage, served food and water every day without starvation, for a normal bird, it would be an ideal life. However, for this bird, this was not what it was looking forward. Adventurous life, to it, it matters little. Its objective was to have its control in its own life.

Then, it had a plan, a plan to escape from the cage. It noticed that the food and water were served through the two unlatched doors (note the red circle in the picture below). It knew, it had to grab the chance.

Empty cage(鸟去笼空)

Since that time, it practised extremely hard to use its head to lift up the unlatched door. Day by day, after thousand times, it was unable to escape as after the door was lifted up, it fell down. Now, it got two choices: to scrap the plan or to give up the freedom for life. Without compromise, it stuck to its aim. Month by month, he kept on practising. Now, it added an extra step. After lifting up the door, it stretched out its right wing a bit, to prevent the door from falling down again.

Guess what? After practising this act thousand times, it finally won its goal. It managed to get out from the cage! Now it should be celebrating and sharing its success with other birds.

Isn't it amazing? A creature that all along we regarded as 'stupid' now can perform something that beyond our expectation.

The same theory applies in learning (any subject). The only little difference here is: we are human, that creature is merely a bird. If a little bird can also achieve its goal by continuous practice and determination, so can we. What do you think?

翻译：

在英文里，当形容一个人'the bird's brain'时，是指那人很笨。这就是当时人们怎么看待鸟儿，都一律当它们是愚笨的动物。原因很简单，因为它们的头脑很小。不过，这句成语似乎无法在这黄鸟身上使用（看以上的鸟图）。反而，它的故事将会改变你的想法。

这小黄鸟叫佐温，它在6个月前被买过来。每天都有人自动给它送水和食物，对于一般的鸟来说，绝对是很理想的生活。不过对于佐温来说，这并不是它所向往的生活。它并不畏惧不安稳的生活，它的目标是要得到自由。

它拟定了计划，一个能令它逃生的计划。它注意到每天在给它喂水和食物时，是通过两道没上锁的门送过去的（看以上的笼子图）。因此它知道它必须把握这个唯一能达到它梦想的机会。

过后，它每天都刻苦耐劳地练习用头来顶开那道小门。一日复一日，经过几千次的尝试，它还是无法逃出去。原因是每次它把门顶开后，那门又滑落下来。当时它只有两个选择：取消计划或放弃自由。它没有妥协，仍然坚持信念，持之与恒。数月过后，它继续练习，不过现在它多加了一个步骤。在顶开门之后，用右翅向外稍伸，把门顶着不让它滑落下来。

果然，再经过数千次的锻炼，它终于成功逃出去！现在它也许在和其他鸟儿一起庆祝和分享它的喜悦。

是否难以置信？一种一直被人们歧视为极愚笨的动物也能突破自己，达到人们一般预料以外的事情。

其实同样的道理也能用于学习，只是有小小的分别：我们是人，人脑；它是鸟，鸟脑。既然一只小鸟都能以锲而不舍、永不言弃的精神来达到目标，我们也一样能办到。你认为呢？

Hangman (Vocabulary)

Hi all, did you have fun during the class today?I am pretty sure everyone of us like one of the game we introduced today, "Hangman".

The simple rule of this game is, select any alphabet from A-Z, if any of the alphabet exists in the word (puzzle), u can continue to choose another alphabet and try to complete the word. If the alphabet not exists, a stroke of a stickman will be drawn. There are total of 6 chances to complete the word, if a word cannot be completed in 6 attempts, a "man" will be hanged, and therefore no point scored.

This is a good game to learn new vocabulary. You may choose the context of the vocabulary before playing the game. Below are some sites for online hangman in the context stated. Have fun learning English!!!

嗨，大家好！今天的课好不好玩？我相信大家肯定会喜欢今天新介绍的游戏，“hangman"。

这游戏的规则非常简单。你只要在26个字母当中，选出可能在谜底里出现的字母，然后完成该谜底就行。如果所猜的字母没在谜底里，火柴人就会被画上一划。只要你能答错少于6次，并能正确的得到答案，就可得1分。要不然，一个完整的火柴人就会被行刑，上吊了。

这可以让大家在玩游戏的当儿，学习更多的生词。你可以选择学习的字库来决定玩哪个游戏。

以下几个网站，有着夏天（summer），phrasal verb （短语），旅行（travel），还有在餐厅里（in a restaurant） 的生词字库，将来会有更多的字库。加油！！开开心心地一起学英语吧。

Basic Candlestick (基本K线图)

什么是K线图?
K线图是用来记录投资市场行情价格的，因其形状如同两端有蕊芯的蜡烛，故而在西方称之为蜡烛图。蜡烛图来源于日本，在日本称之为“罫线”，“罫”发音为“kei”，于是西方人以其英文第一个字母“K”直译为“K线”，K线由此发展而来（中国人习惯性称之为阴阳线）。
K线图产生于日本德川幕府时代的1710年后。1710年以后，日本大阪的堂岛大米会所开始经营世界最早的期货合约，K线图就是为记录大米每天涨跌的价格而发明的（早期为条形图和锚形图）。最早为日本分析技术著书的是日本著名商人本间宗久，他可能是使用K线图技术分析法的先驱。
K线图实际上是为考察当前市场心理提供了一种可视化的分析方法，它简洁而直观，虽不具备严格的逻辑推理性，但是却有相当可信的统计意义，真实、完整地记录了市场价格的变化，反映了价格的变化轨迹。比之西方的线性图，K线图技术要早100年左右，且其信号更丰富，更直观，更灵活，更提前。经过近300年的演化，特别是经过西方社会近20年的推广，K线图技术被广泛应用于全世界的证券市场、期货市场、外汇市场等领域，成为技术分析中的最基本的方法之一。

如何识别K线图
Ｋ线根据计算时间的不同，可分为：分钟Ｋ线、日Ｋ线、周Ｋ线、月Ｋ线、年K线等。它的形成取决于每一计算单位中的四个基本数据：开盘价、最高价、最低价、收盘价。在日K线图中，“开盘价”就是某地交易所在白天开始进行交易时的第一笔成交价格，“收盘价”就是当天结束交易时的最后一笔成交价格；在分种K线图里，则是指每分钟的开盘价和收盘价；在周K线图里，则是指每周的开盘价和收盘价。由于外汇市场是24小时运营，且往往不通过交易所，所以日K线的计算并不是从白天上午开始的。
当收盘价高于开盘价时，Ｋ线为阳线（一般用红色或空心线表示）；当收盘价低于开盘价时，Ｋ线为阴线（一般用绿色或实心线表示）；当收盘价等于开盘价，且有新的最高价和最低价时，Ｋ线称为十字星。当Ｋ线为阳线时，最高价与收盘价之间的细线部分称为上影线，最低价与开盘价之间的细线部分称为下影线，开盘价与收盘价之间的柱状称为实体（但在外汇市场上，阴线为红色，为了方便黑白打印机打印或复印，阳线则为白色）。

白实体：阳线 黑实体：阴线

Basic Knowledge of FOREX (外汇基本认识)

Foreign Exchange

　　Foreign exchange trading is the simultaneous buying of one currency and selling of another. The foreign exchange market (Forex or FX) is the largest financial market in the world with a daily turnover of over US$1.9 trillion. Examples of currency trading pairs are Euro/US Dollar (EUR/USD) and US Dollar/Japanese Yen (USD/JPY). Most currency transactions involve the "Majors" - US Dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen, British Pound, Swiss Franc.

　　Unlike other financial markets, the foreign exchange market has no physical location and no central exchange. The Forex market operates 24 hours a day through an electronic network of banks, corporations and individual traders. Forex trading begins every day in Sydney, then moves to Tokyo, followed by London and then New York. The major market makers, or dealers, consist of the commercial and investment banks, the exchange traded futures, and registered futures commission merchants such as FX Solutions.

FOREX Prices

　　FOREX markets and prices are mainly influenced by international trade flows and investment flows. The FX markets are also influenced, but to a lesser extent, by the same factors that influence the equity and bond markets: economic and political conditions especially interest rates, inflation, and political instability. Those factors usually have only a short-term impact, which makes Forex attractive as it offers some of the diversification necessary to protect against adverse movements in the equity and bond markets.

　　Foreign Exchange prices, or quotes, include a "Bid" and "Ask" similar to other financial products:

　　Bid: Price at which Dealer is willing to Buy and Traders can Sell Currency

　　Ask: Price at which Dealer will Sell and Traders can Buy Currency

　　The difference between the Bid and Ask is called the "Spread", which is the Trader's cost of the transaction. FX Solutions offers Traders the narrowest spreads in the retail Forex industry, thereby lowering transaction costs. For more information on the Spreads offered by FX Solutions click here.

　　Currencies are usually quoted to four decimal places, such as the Euro/US Dollar trading at 1.2400/1.2403, with the last decimal place referred to as a point or "pip" (percentage in point). A pip for most currencies is 0.0001 of an exchange rate; the one exception is the USD/JPY quote in which each pip is equal to 0.01.

Analysis of FOREX Markets

　　Foreign exchange traders base their decisions on either technical analysis and fundamental analysis. Technical traders use charts, trend lines, support and resistance levels, mathematical models and other means to identify opportunities and drive trading decisions. Fundamental traders identify trading opportunities by analyzing economic information.

外汇交易

　　 外汇交易是指买入一种货币并且同时卖出另一种货币的交易. 外汇市场是全世界最大的金融市场, 其日交易额超过1.9兆美元. 交易货币例如欧元/美元和美元/日元. 大多数货币交易均涉及到"主要货币"(包括美元, 欧元, 日元, 英镑, 瑞士法郎).

　　 不同于其它金融市场, 外汇市场没有中央交易所. 借助于银行 , 公司和个人交易者的电子网络, 外汇市场每天24小时均运行. 每天外汇交易从悉尼开始, 然后依次移到东京, 伦敦和纽约. 主要券商包括商业银行, 投资银行, 外汇期货交易者及注册外汇券商.

外汇价格

　　 外汇市场和外汇价格主要受到资金流动影响, 其次受到证券市场和债券市场的影响(例如: 经济状况, 政治状况, 尤其是利率, 货币膨胀和政治动荡). 这些次要影响因素往往是短暂的.

　　 类似于其它金融产品, 外汇价格包括'买入价'和'卖出价'.

　　 买入价: 券商买入并且交易者卖出货币的价格.

　　 卖出价: 券商卖出并且交易者买入货币的价格.

　　 买入价与卖出价之间的差额称为"点差". 我们为交易者提供最低的交易点差, 从而降低交易费用. 如果您要查看所有交易货币点差, 请点击这里.

　　 货币报价通常为4个小数位, 如: 欧元/美元的交易价为1.2400/1.2403. 大多数货币的交易最小单位是0.0001, 不过, 美元/日元的交易最小单位是0.01.

外汇市场分析

　　 外汇交易者通过技术面分析和基本面分析来作决定, 技术面交易者通过图表, 趋势线, 支撑点, 数学模型和其它方法来识别机会和进行交易决定. 基本面交易者通过分析经济信息来识别交易机会.

Why Jeff killed the Pig (为何杰富要杀猪)

One day, when Jeff's wife was going to the market, their son cried and wanted to go with her.

“Go back now!” she wheedled him, “When I get home we'll kill the pig for you.”

Upon her return, she found Jeff about to kill the pig. She hastily stopped him.

“I didn't really mean it, " she protested.” I just said that to keep the boy quiet. "

“How can you deceive a child like that?" asked Jeff. Children know nothing to begin with, but they copy their parents and learn from them. When you cheat the boy, you are teaching him to lie. If a mother deceives her child, he will not trust her, and that is no way to bring him up.

So he killed the pig after all.

词汇：
1. wheedled： (wheedle的过去式)以甜言蜜语诱惑、说服、欺哄
2. hastily：匆忙地;急速地;慌张地
3. protested (protest的过去式) 抗议;断言
4. deceive：欺惑;辜负;诈欺
5. cheat：欺骗 (与deceive相近)
6. lie：撒谎
7. trust：信任

翻译：
有一天， 当杰富的妻子要去市集的时候，他们的孩子哭闹着要跟随妈妈一块儿去。
“乖，立马回去吧！”她欺哄着孩子说：“我回来后杀只猪给你哦。”
她从市集回来，发现杰富正当要杀家里的猪。她急速地阻止杰富。
“我并没有真的要杀猪”她抗议地说：“我当时这么说是因为要让孩子安静下来。”
“你怎么可以如此欺诈小孩子？”杰富问说。“孩子们天真不懂事，但他们会学习父母的举动。当你在欺骗孩子的同时，你也正在教他撒谎。若妈妈欺诈她孩子， 那孩子以后也不会再相信她了，这样以后会很难再栽培孩子。”
因此，杰富就挥刀杀猪。（这猪就如此无缘无故遭殃…）

Investment First Thought (投资序言)

在过去，投资也似乎只是有钱人的玩意。基本上只有家财万贯的人，才有机会接触。不过，在现在网际网络如此发达的环境，投资已经成为大众随手可及的玩意了。这么一说，是否意味着每个人都适合投资？当然不是。投资是一门学问，其实也是一种艺术。我说它是学问，是因为我们必须深入研究，才能领悟；我说它是艺术，是因为每个人投资的风格有别，采取的策略都不同，是个人独特的。

那为什么要投资呢？你是否有想过这样的一个问题？凡是都会有理由，那投资的理由是什么？90%的人都会说：那还用问，简直是废话。投资当然是为了赚钱呗。所以他们的投资的专注是：赚钱。赚钱是他们投资的动力。让我们来看看大多数人的投资路程。

多数人开始投资的时候，都会赚一点钱。我们把这叫做“Beginners’ Luck (初学者的运气)”。他们就是因为开始时尝到甜头，天真的以为投资就是这么简单，一转手就可赚钱。这时他们的心里也开始野了，会想：我拿着5千块就可赚3千，那我拿1万岂不是可赚6千；拿10万就赚6万！哇，这次发了！他们之后会不会拿双倍的本钱去投资？我敢跟你打赌他们一定会。假设他们之后亏了一点，打1千就好 (这是个很保守的估计，如果他们第二次投资还赢钱，我敢跟你再打赌他们会再拿三倍的钱去投资)。

开始输掉之前赚的1千块时，他们会这么想：“有什么大惊小怪的，投资当然偶尔会亏钱的。没关系，下次赚回来就好。”当他们继续投资，再把之前所赚的2千亏掉时(他们回到之前没亏没赚的时候)，他们会叹：“真倒霉！玩了这么久，居然没亏没赚，浪费我的时间！”他们当然会继续投资，因为要把之前那3千块赢回来。他们会用5千去投资，因为他们相信用5千可以赢3千。这次他们再亏了(打2千就好)，他们会这么想：“妈妈的，这么我一买它升，它就跌。我一卖掉，它就升回来了！这市场好像在跟我搞对抗！靠！我就继续买，就是不相信会一直都那么倒霉！”以这样的心态和心境来投资，你认为他们可以赢钱吗？到最后当然都把钱亏完。

就是打从一开始他们的投资的重心在赚钱，一旦投资失利的时候，就失去了动力。他们一般都会因此而心浮气躁。他们的下一步当然会投资更多的钱，一心想赢回之前输去的钱。往往在这种情形下，就会亏更多的钱。很多投资者在投资的股票跌的时候，都不肯把股票卖掉，减少亏本。他们一心想：没关系，它一定会回升的。往往，他们的股票都事与愿违。

那话说回头，投资若不是为了赚钱，那投资来干嘛？

我看过我投资导师的一本书《Secret of Millionaire Trader’s Psychology》(百万富翁投资者心理学)，他就这么回答：

为什么要投资？哦，我投资是因为我要给我家人一个好的生活，这是我的目标。
那你要如何达到你的目标？我要学好怎么投资。

看，现在他的投资的重心在于：学好投资。

只有通过无止境的学习和学好投资，那么“钱”就会自然而然地是你学好的回报。Got it?
在抱着“学好投资”的心态，就算偶尔投资失利，我们也不会失去动力。我们不会责怪“市场”、责怪“运气”，而是自我检讨，看看哪里是否做得不好。 若在投资赚钱的时候，在开心之余，也会细心研究到底哪里是作对了。一个成功的投资者，会自己承担100%责任，而不是在失败时，责怪他人、责怪运气、责怪市场… 等等。

只有通过无止境的学习，投资的路程才会长久。别藐视市场，它不是让你赚快钱的地方。当你在买卖股票时，你也许在和资深的投资高手在交易，若你轻敌，你的钱将会被被人赢走。只有尊敬市场，学好投资，那钱就会是你学好的回报。

The Frog in the Well (井底之蛙)

此文章是英文版本的中国闻名故事“井底之蛙”

There was a frog that lived in a shallow well.

" Look how well off I am here ! " he told a big turtle from the Eastern Ocean. " I can hop along the coping of the well when I go out, and rest by a crevice in the bricks on my return. I can wallow to my heart's content with only my head above water, or stroll ankle deep through soft mud. No crabs or tadpoles can compare with me. I am master of the water and lord of this shallow well, What more can a fellow ask ? Why don't you come here more often to have a good time ? "

Before the turtle from the Eastern Ocean could get his left foot into the well, however, he caught his right claw on something. So he halted and stepped back then began to describe the ocean to the frog.

" It's more than a thousand miles across and more than ten thousand feet deep. In ancient times there were floods nine years out of ten yet the water in the ocean never increased.

And later there were droughts seven years out of eight yet the water in the ocean never grew less. It has remained quite constant throughtout the ages. That is why I like to live in the Eastern Ocean. "

Then the frog in the shallow well was silent and felt a little abashed.

词汇：
1. shallow:浅的,浅滩
2. hop:跳;跳过;跳上
3. coping:顶部;顶盖
4. crevice:裂缝
5. bricks:砖;砖形物
6. wallow:动 打滚[在泥沙,水中]
7. stroll:闲逛;漫步;游历
8. crabs:蟹
9. tadpoles:蝌蚪
10.compare:比较
11.claw:爪
12.halted:停止
13.ancient:以往的;古代的
14.drought:乾旱
15.abashed:羞愧

注：
well作为副词是指好的，适当的。作为名词是指井;泉。作为动词是指涌出。

翻译：
在过去有一只去青蛙住在一口浅井里，有一天它遇到一只来自东方海洋海龟。

它告诉海龟：“看我在这儿的本领多好。当我出去时，我可以在井的顶部跳跃； 当我回来时，我可以在水中打滚，或在软泥中游历。没有螃蟹或蝌蚪可以和我比较。我是水中的大师和这口井的神仙。人家已别无所求了。你怎么不多来几趟和我一起度过好时光？”

那海龟还没把它的左爪踏进浅井时，它先用右爪试试水深。然后回步停下来，开始描述海洋给那只青蛙听。

“海洋的宽度多于一千里，深度多于一万步。在以往这里在十年内有九年都发生水灾，但海洋的水量也没因此而增加。”

“还有，八年内有七年都发生旱灾，但海洋的水量也没因此而减少。长年累月海洋的水量是几乎固定的。这就是为什么我喜欢住在东方海洋。

当时那只青蛙听了后安静下来，感到很羞愧。

时势造英雄

备注：文中所谓的英雄不只是指男性，也指“英雌(女性)”。在此文中，英雄=英雌=不分性别。

论英雄的人，比比皆是；做英雄的人，少之又少。英雄的意义广大，不一定要是一般人们所想的救世主、舍己为人、拯救地球等等的角色。英雄也可以是“自己”的英雄。换句话说，“自己”的英雄是拯救自己的人。这个“自己”的英雄可以是别人，也可以是自己本人。

古语有云：“英雄造时势，时势造英雄”。可见“时势”与“英雌”是很有关联的。在过去，只有在局势动荡或烽火连天的时候，英雄才出现。他们是当时社会的英雄。“自己”的英雄也都一样，总在自己面对重重困难与挫折时才出现。重申：“自己”的英雄可以是别人，也可以是自己本人。现在我们来研究这两种情况。

情况1：“自己”的英雄可以是别人
打个比方说，你在饥寒交迫的时候，有个人来送给你一碗饭。这个“英雄”风雨不改，每天都给你送上一碗饭，让你从此不再挨俄，所以你非常感激他。因此，你养成一个习惯，天天都盼望着这位“英雄”来送饭。这不是一个好现象，因为你的问题不但还没解决，还让你养成了依赖的恶习。当别人在你饥饿的时候给你送饭，他解决了你当时的问题。你接下来就得问他：“你怎样得来这碗饭？可不可以教我怎样去赚取？”只有教会你怎么去种稻，你才不会挨饿；只有教你学会解决问题，你的问题才能解决。我们不能一辈子都仰人鼻息、依赖别人来为我们解决问题。只有“学会”和“学好”，才是长远之计。

情况2：“自己”的英雄可以是自己本人
我相信，每个人的心里面都有一个沉睡的英雄。他也许在你遇到困难时才被唤醒，或者他一直都在你身边。这个英雄就是我们的动力。有些人在遇到重重困难、感到很沮丧时，经过一段日子就会开始反省，重新振作，那么他们之前沉睡的英雄就被唤醒了。有些人在遇到挫折时，不堪打击、放弃、堕落，那么他们沉睡的英雄就也因此一命呜呼了。有些人在无论何时，有没有遇到困难都好，都拥有正确的态度、积极的思想、不懈的动力，那么他们心里面的英雄都会一直陪常在左右。从以上三种状况看来，第三种状况是最好的，因为你不需要等“困难”、“挫折”来决定你心里英雄是否还存在。你一直都做好准备，以最佳状态来面对挑战。其实，一个正常的人来说，是没有能力极限，只有思想极限。当你冲破你的思想极限，你会发现到你的能力极限其实可以去到更远。

研究了以上这两种情况，很多人都会说：“你说的东西只不过是common sense (一般思想)，就算你不说，我们也懂呀。”记得很多东西在言语上表达时很容易，不过等到挑战到来时才是真正的考验。很多人说这是common sense，不过真正问题到来时他们往往都忘了这个common sense。

时势造英雄，只有真正的“时势”到来时，我们才会看到真正的“英雄”。

老外直言：怎样与老外交朋友

Just the other day, I was in a bookshop and spotted a volume entitled How to Make Friends with Foreigners by Li Yang of Crazy English fame. Naturally, as a foreigner who has been living in China for a year, I was curious to see what kind of advice a Chinese writer was giving on this matter.
One piece of advice really grabbed my attention and, I must say, made me feel quite annoyed.In Li's opinion, foreigners are an “opportunity” to improve your oral English; whenever you see a foreigner, you should practice speaking English to him/her. The writer goes on to say that if the foreigner doesn't want to answer your questions, then he/she is a rude person who you wouldn't want to spend time with anyway.I think this counsel is not only incorrect, but also potentially damaging to relations between Chinese and foreigners in China.

Like most other laowai living in China, I know how isolated one can sometimes feel living amid a culture far removed from our own familiar ways. However, most of the time this cultural isolation is something I simply accept as part of being here. I am, after all, here to learn about the people and the language of China and if I really hated this place then I would go home! So far my time in China has been very rewarding. I have improved my Chinese language skills, learnt about one of the most fascinating, swiftly developing countries in the world today and made some very close Chinese friends.
Unfortunately, I have also come across many Chinese people who view me purely as an“opportunity” to improve their oral English under the guise of making friends. I have experienced people following me home from town to my college flat and then harassing me to teach them English or practice English with them. I have had complete strangers thrusting articles, manuals and speeches in my face, insisting that I help them with the English translation. I have had people asking me to assist with immigration applications to other countries. All of these people have claimed at the time that what they chiefly wanted was to make friends with me. There was even one person at the weekly English Corner that I run at college who, after plying me with non-stop questions for half an hour, became very angry when I politely asked him to give other people a chance to speak. He puffed himself up like a peacock and informed me that he was simply trying to be my friend.

He may well have thought he was trying to be my friend, but where I come from you don't build friendships by pestering and badgering another person. Friendship for a lot of Westerners is about spending time with someone whose company you genuinely enjoy. It's not about opportunities or personal advantage. The Chinese friends I have made while living here have been genuine friends to me; we enjoy each other's company for its own sake. In this way, we've not only learnt a good deal about each other's culture but also about each other as individuals.

I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't approach foreigners at all. However, I do think that it's important to question your own motives. If you truly want to make friends with someone from a different country, who could possibly object? On the other hand, if your only motive is to “use” the foreigner as a way of improving your English, then it's quite likely that the foreigner will be able to see through you - and will definitely not want to spend time with you.

So if there's any advice to give on making and keeping friendships with foreigners, I would say that it is this: Treat foreigners as people, not opportunities. Expect to make friendships gradually, over a period of time, not instantly. And don't ply foreigners with lots and lots of disparate questions. At times, this approach comes across as confusing and unnatural.

Finally, I would suggest that if you really want to make friends with a foreigner, then you do so because you are genuinely interested in the person. We all know that true friendships stand the test of time. If your only reason for making friends with a foreigner is to upgrade your English, then you will probably find that you don't have a foreign friend for long!

老外直言：怎样与老外交朋友

　　几天前，我在书店发现了一本书，书名是《怎样和老外交朋友》，作者是因“疯狂英语”而出名的李阳。作为一个在中国生活了一年的外国人，我自然很想知道一位中国作者在这方面给出了什么样的忠告。

　　有一条忠告真是吸引住了我，但我也不得不说，这条忠告让我很懊恼。按照李先生的观点，外国人是你提高英语口语水平的“机会”，只要见到外国人，你就应该上前和他们练英语。作者进一步说道，如果某个外国人不想回答你的问题，那他（她）就是一个粗鲁的人，是个你不屑与之交往的人。我认为这一忠告不仅不正确，还会给中国人和老外的关系带来潜在的危害。

　　像多数住在中国的老外一样，我知道生活在远离自己所熟悉的另一种文化当中，有时会感到多么孤独啊！但在多数情况下，我接受这种文化上的孤独，将其作为生活在这儿的一部分。说到底，我来这里是想了解中国人民和她的语言，如果我真的不喜欢这个地方，那我早就回国了。到目前为止，我在中国度过的时光非常有价值，我的中文水平提高了，了解了当今世界上最有吸引力的、的发展最快的一个国家，一些中国人也成了我亲密的朋友。

　　但令人遗憾的是，我也撞见很多中国人，他们借口交朋友但却只把我看成练口语的“机会”，有人从城里一直跟到我的学校宿舍，缠着我教他们英语，或是陪他们练口语；还有一些陌生人把文章、手册、讲稿塞到我面前要我帮忙翻译；还有人要我帮他们写移民申请。所有这些人当时都声称主要目的就是与我交朋友。在校园我所主持的每周英语角上，甚至有一个人不间断地连问了我半个小时的问题后，在我有礼貌地请他也给别人一个机会练英语时，他竟然生起气来。他趾高气扬像只雄孔雀，告诉我他无非是想成为我的朋友。

　　他或许真的想成为我的朋友，但我来自一个不可以通过纠缠与烦扰建立友谊的国度。对于很多西方人来说，友谊是与某人共度时光，他（她）的陪伴让你由衷地感到快乐。友谊并非是“机会”或是能给自己带来什么好处。我在这儿交的中国朋友都是真诚的朋友，我们因为彼此喜欢在一起而在一起。在这种情况下，我们不仅相互了解了很多对方的文化，也加深了个人间的了解。

　　在此，我并非建议你根本不与老外打交道。但是，我认为，重要的一点是问一下自己的动机。如果你真的想与来自异国的人交朋友，谁会反对呢？但话说回来，如果你唯一的动机就是利用老外将其作为自己提高英语的一种手段，那么，老外很可能看穿你——那他（她）肯定不想与你共处。

　　因此，如果说我对与老外交朋友并保持友谊有什么忠告，我想说的就是：把外国人看成“人”，而不要看成“机会”；友谊是逐渐形成的，要经过一段时间，不要期望速成；不要没完没了地向老外提出大量的互不相关的问题，这样的接触方式有时会让老外犯晕或是觉得不自然。

　　最后，我想建议，如果你真的想和一个老外交朋友，那么你就应该是因为真心喜欢这个人。我们都知道，真正的友谊是经受得住时间考验的。如果你与老外交朋友的唯一目的是提高英语水平，那你恐怕就不会有一个长久的老外朋友。
