There was a boy with a very difficult character. His father gives him a bag full of nails and tells him to drive one nail in the garden fence every time he loses his patience and/or has an argument with someone.

The first day the boy drives 37 nails in the garden fence . In the following weeks, the boy learns to control himself and the number of nails driven in the fence gets lower every day:

The boy discovers that it is easier to learn to control himself than to hammer nails in the fence.

At last, the day comes when the boy does not drive any nail in the garden fence. Then he goes to his father and tell s him that today he did not need to hammer any nail.

His father then tells the boy to take out one nail from the fence for every day he succeeds in controlling his temper and not loosing his patience.

Many days pass and finally the boy can tell his father that he took out all nails from the fence.

The father brings his son in front of the fence and tells him: « My son, you behaved well, but look how many holes you left in the fence »

It will never be the same. When you have an argument with someone and tell him bad words, you leave him with wounds like these ones.........

1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished her paper yet.

So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.
The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many.“
The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help".

"The girl hesitated, then read: "I think the 'Seven Wonders of the World' are:
1. To See...
2. To Hear...
3. To Touch...
4. To Taste...
5. To Feel...
6. To Laugh...
7. And to Love.“

The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wonderous!

Remember the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.

Mouse Trap Story



Online English Lesson: Find More here --> Learn English Online

MOUSE TRAP STORY. AND IT IS ANIMATED WITH A MORAL AT THE END

This is excellent...

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. "What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning: There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, " Mr.Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "! There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The pig sympathized, but said,"I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray.

Be assured you are in my prayers."

The mouse turned to the cow and said,"There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose." So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.

The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient. But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.

To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.
So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you,

remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

Bankruptcy



Practice Reading English: Find More here --> Learn English Online

Bankruptcy by the definition in www.thefreedictionary.com is

"A debtor that, upon voluntary petition or one invoked by the debtor's creditors, is judged legally insolvent. The debtor's remaining property is then administered for the creditors or is distributed among them."

or an easier explanation is

"A person who is totally lacking in a specified resource or quality"

Many people understand the meaning of bankruptcy but do not really understand it in detail. For example, how many types of bankruptcy are there in different countries or what will be a purnishment from being bankrupt.

In fact, you really do not need to know them unless you are working in financial area or you are in a risky situation to be called "bankruptcy." We just know that we don't want to be bankrupt and so the most important thing we need to realize is that how to avoid the bankruptcy. This article will give you an easy tip of how to avoid the bankruptcy.

There's only one rule here which is "Earn more than you spend." Yes, it is that easy and simple. It is even the most important tip to avoid the bankruptcy to "earn more than spend." but do you know that more than 80% of people in the world nowaday have problems to maintain this rule. You don't need to be en expert in financial. You don't even need to know equity or liquidity, mutual funds, debit or credit terms. You just have to know how much money you have and do not spend more than what you have and you will be far away from bankruptcy.

Let me give you an example.

You really want a nice Mustang car and you have collected the money for 3 years. Still, you don't have enough money. Most people will start talking to themself "I can't wait anymore. I am gonna have to start a loan from the bank." or "there's only one life to live. Let's forget about bankruptcy for now. If I wait any longer I wouldn't have a chance to own one in my lifetime." This is not true.

Surprisingly, people who later became a millionaire, of course never close to bankruptcy, have the similiar thought. They would say "I can buy a cheaper car so I can keep my money for somethingelse." or "let's take a bus for another year. I will buy when I have money so I don't have to have so much financial burden."

It's true that you may not be able to drive Mustang ever again in your lifetime but what is actually the point of that? If you can drive Mustang you will still never be able to drive Lamborghini anyway. If you can own Lamborghini you will never drive an airplane anyway.

Whenever you start the "want" it will never be ending.

We have came the wrong way. We are too much enjoy with all the marketing strategies that those gigantic companies feed us. Step away and think about what is the real happiness we want in our life. Walk in a park with your oldies mom and dad or spend the life time paying interest to those financial institution.

I cannot count how many time I hear or read the bankrupt say "I would never done that if I could turn back time." Nobody could turn back time, at least for now.

Let's change your mindset and trust me you will never ever have financial problem, or face the bankruptcy.

Learn English Online : Lesson 15

Learn English Online: Things to consider when choosing schools abroad

English Learning Tools: Find More here --> Learn English Online

"Education is the best investment." This quote is considered true and even more true in the modern and competitive world. People are looking for higher education to send them up in their career and future life.

Study abroad has been one of the most popular choice because we can't disagree that, for people who has the same level of eduction, having the degree from oversea will be more noticeable.

But again, the world is changing rapidly. Many more people go study abroad and employers have more choices. The abroad degree from "anywhere in the US" or "anywhere in the UK ." is not enough anymore.
There are many more factors to consider or think about when go study abroad in order to ensure that your biggest investment will be sucessful and valuable. So, if now you are totally blank. You only know that "I want to go study abroad." Let me tell you step by step what you should consider before going abroad.

1. Financial support -- First of all, you have to ensure that you will have enough financial support throughout your education. It is not a wise idea to think that "Only let me get into the country and I'll do everythingelse." Some people end up doing illigal works or being sent back home.

If you don't want to "die in the battle" you should be prepare. Estimate the expense you will need to spend and ask yourself whether you have enough. If your parents are not millionaire, or not willing to support you. You might have to cross out universities with very expensive tuition or the university where is located in the place with high living standard. Otherwise, you should look for a scholarship as a part of admission process.

2. Academic degree -- This is another important factor you should have a final decision in mind before choosing a university. There's no university that is popular in every field. If you want to study abroad to earn an MBA degree you might have to look for some university in California or Ivy league.

At the same time, if you want to study abroad to have an agricultural degree you might be looking for some universities in the South or Midland . Most importantly, try hard not to change your goal. You have to realize that there will be many more challenging factors to prevent you from reaching the goal. Do not give up. The clearer goal you have the clearer path you walk.

3. Constriants / external factors -- Now that you have financial support and clear target. it's time to list out all your constraints / external factors which are individually varied. For example, if you can't live in cold weather.

Cross out the ones in Minnesota or New York . If you have friends or relatives living there, consider universities nearby them. If you are big city girl who can't live without shopping center forget about Alabama or Mississippi but if you are a tranquil type of person don't suffer yourself with New York or Chicago.

4. Ranking time -- at this stage, you should have the area where you will be living, It is the time to choose your target universities. Choose 3-4 of them by ranking and statistic. Some excellent universities have compromise policy for international students while some are not very welcome.

This you can check from the university's student body. Do not send all application to universities in the same level. Leave some spaces for yourself. Everyone wants to go to MIT but if you get 450 of GMAT score should you waste your time and money sending the application to it?

Study abroad should be one of the most important decision in your life. It is worth to wait a little more and plan carefully. I hope you are seeing the light after reading this article. Follow the above steps for your sucessful study abroad life. Remember, if you fail to plan you plan to fail.

Learn English Online: Teach English Oversea

English Learning Tools: Find More here --> Learn English Online

Teaching English oversea becomes the popular jobs in this 20th century.

The world is connected and everyone wants to be able to speak English in order to enhance their career or increase advantages in the business.

Many language schools prefer hiring native speakers to attract customers who also prefer native speakers to be the instructors.

All of those provide a great chance to native English speakers who want to explore new experiences oversea and earn income at the same time.


No matter what we do, we want to be successful. So is teaching oversea. Below are something to help you make a good decision about teaching English oversea.

How to be successful? How can you reach the goal? Before you make any decision, ensure you read below successful tips to help you succeed in the teaching English oversea career.

If you fail to plan you plan to fail.

Don't just get any job that come to you. It might be a miserable decision and ruin your whole life. Plan it and follow the plan. The next question is that what is the best way to plan? I would say you should start from your goal.

Even though everyone has the same destination which is to get a teaching oversea job the objectives are different. Some just want to earn worthwhile experience and some expect a good income.

Your goal will tell you what type of offer you should grab or which way you should proceed.

For example, if you are looking for a good salary teaching in charity school in Cambodia may not be a good idea.

You might have to look for a job in such places like Korea, Japan or some other places in Europe. However, if you want to follow your dream by paying back good deeds or contributing to the beloved world you might consider teaching in Charity school in Cambodia rather than elegant private schools in Korea.

If you want a peaceful life and want to get away from the terrible city life you might consider some parts of Thailand or small town in Europe instead of a rush city like Tokyo or some too poor living standard cities.

Sometimes, goal can be more than one. You might want a good salary and peaceful life at the same time. It is possible to have such goals but it will give you more constraints and will take you more time for the research.

Think carefully about what you really want and do not change it. Follow your goal strictly. Otherwise, you will be so lost on in such a big world.

Remember, the first thing you need to do is to ask yourself what you really want.

Learn English Online : Lesson 13

Learn English Online: Simple trick to be successful in listenning English

English Learning Tools: Find More here --> Learn English Online

Listenning skill is one of the most difficult among all other English learning skill because it gives you the least time for your brain to process.

Speakers never stop and let you understand word by word before moving on to the next sentence.If they do the conversation is going to take a whole day.

Moreover, there are hundreds different English pronunciation around the world. Even people in the same countries who speak the same language have different pronunciation.

It is normal that American people from the north do not fully understand those from the south. The way of life, climate and everything all impact pronunciation.
So, how do you overcome those? How can you understand when people speak English? Well, it is not that difficult.

This article is not telling you to practice hard, listen to the conversation tape or watch hundreds of Hollywood movie. Those are the things that you need to do anyway and already described in other English learning articles.

This article will tell you one simple trick that will help you live in any English speaking environment happily. The secret is that.

Do not blame yourself.

Many ESL thought they don't understand native English speakers because their skill is not good enough. This may or may not be true but it is surely not a good attitude.

It will discourage you and destroy your confidence. Sometimes, those natives just speak too fast and that even the natives themselves do not understand them. Sometimes, they do not truely understand the topic or they feel nervous so they can't produce understandable sentences. Have you ever experience that when you talk to anybody in your own mother tongue language? I am sure you do.

Now, you realize that it's not your fault. Just keep thinking that "they speak too fast" or "what are they talking about?" NOT "oh I don't understand them at all" or "will they know my English is poor?"

After you have positive attitude, the next step is easy. You just simply ask a kind of sentences below.

"Excuse me. Can you repeat it again?"
"It is very noisy here. Can you speak slowly please?"
"Sorry I can't catch your word"

Clearly, the sentences above blame the others but you. At this point, 99% of the speakers realize something wrong with them and they will speak again in the new way to try to make you understand.

Again, the learning part is another story here. You may have to search for the meaning of vocabularies or do more practices later but just never lose confidence to ask speakers to repeat the sentences, when you don't understand.

Remember, it is not your fault.

Learn English Online: Familiarity not memory

English Learning Tools: Find More here --> Learn English Online

At kinglishschool, we believe that memory cannot take you any far in English learning journey. Even though you can memorize every single words in dictionary it does not mean that you can speak english fluently.

But, yet, we understand that language is not a mathematics so only understanding is not enough as well.

So, what's the best approach to learn? We suggest to try familiarity. This is the way infants learn languages. They never sit down and memorize the vocabulary and, surely, they don't understand the logic of the language.

They hear it many times so they get familiar with it until they can present it out. This way your communication will be automatic because it is in the permanent memory part of your brain already.

You don't need to memorize how to ride a bicycle and you don't need to understand how to ride a bicycle but you need to familiar with how to ride a bicycle. Nobody forget how to ride a bicycle once they can do it right?

For example, if you want to speak english fluently. You can visit our conversation corner, read through the conversation in many situations many times, think about it, use it when you have a chance but DO NOT try to memorize it. After a while, you speaking skill will be the same as riding a bicycle.

Learn English Online : Lesson 6

Learn English Online: Why Many People fail in learning English

English Learning Tools: Find More here --> Learn English Online

There are millions of people learning English around the world. There are thousands of English schools, ESL programs, fabulous English curriculums and many more to facilitate people. But many still fail. The reason they are not successful are very common.

1. Don't try hard enough --> Think about how much time and effort you put to win the girls (or guys) heart. Think about how much time and effort you put to finish the final project in school.

Compare it with the effort you spend on learning English. It is much less right?
You will never be succeed in learning english, or anything, if you don't try hard enough.

Some people ask me "so when can I stop learning?" My answer is simple... "never."

We are here on this cruel world to learn. You'll never pass anything until you learn from it.

2. Shy --> Many people speak english very well, when they are alone, but they are just not confident enought to show it off when they have chances.

Think about when you go to other countries and meet local people who can speak in your language, even though it sounds incredibly funny. You feel so glad right?

It is the same when you speak English with English, Australian or American in a funny accent. Do not worry about mistake as long as you still can communicate with them. Remember, the more you fail the more you learn.

3. Wrong Attitude --> I have mentioned before that you don't want to be an english professor or professional translator. So, please, and please, do not worry too much about the correctness of the sentence.

You will learn it from time to time not from memorizing it. The goal is to make the listener understand you. You don't need to memorize the whole dictionary because it doesn't help in a real situation.

Look at the example below and ask yourself "Who would you want to be?"

Mr. A / Mr. B and Mr. C all don't know that the elephant is called elephant but they have different ways to say in the situation

The reason why people decide to study abroad to English speaking countries is to be in the environment that fully encourage them to learn but not everyone can do that due to cost, time and many other factors.

Fortunately, this is the year 2008 and if you look around you will find that English is everywhere.

Language school is all around you, When you wake up in the morning, listen to English radio station a few days in a week, read English newspaper before leaving to work or study.

On the bus, look around and see the sign on the street and compare with the picture they show and you will have new vocabularly everyday without memorizing them directly because humans always remember things better if you tie them up with the picture.

During the day when you talk to people or see new things, keep asking yourself "how to say it in English?" or "how does this thing call in English?" In the evening, when you go out and have dinner with your love or family, pay little attention on the english description of food in the menu.

If you keep doing this you will definitely getting better from time to time. I bet on that.

Learn English Online : Lesson 4

Learn English Online: Power of Imagination

English Learning Tools: Find More here --> Learn English Online

One effective way to learn Englishis to create your own imaginary friends.

It sounds like a lonely kid playing in an empty house but, believe me, it really works. You can't have your English teacher or foreign friends with you 24 hours but you are with yourself 24/7.

Assume the situation and talk to yourself when you have time.

For example, you can assume that you will go for an interview tomorrow and keep answering possible questions that you create.

You can assume that you are answering tourists who ask you about the direction from your office to the popular shopping mall.

Again, keep practicing and you will find yourself very capable in real situations. Just one caution. You better not talk out loud in public places!!

Learn English Online : Lesson 3

Learn English Online: Learn English from Movie

English Learning Tools: Find More here --> Learn English Online

Many people effectively learn English from Hollywood movie (not Bollywood ok?).

Yet, you can see some friends, who watch thousand of hollywood movie, do not speak any words!! Right, the thing is you don't just watch it but you have to watch by learning purpose to create more useful entertainment.

The steps may annoy your emotion but if you want to learn English you better follow below steps. Otherwise, you may lost your time and effort without nothing. There are three easy steps to follow.

1. Buy soundtrack movie (of course!) and watch it with the subtitle on at the first time. Your eyes and ears should work equally at this stage. Try to understand the theme and the main idea of the movie.

2. Watch it again, still with subtitle on, but now try to minimize the use of your eyes on the subtitle. Listen as much as possible and look at the subtitle only when you really do not understand. Skip all small detail at the first time and slowly increase the amount of learning by decreasing the number of time you stop the movie.

3. Watch it without subtitle. It sounds tough but believe me, after enough practice at the first two steps, you will find it easier to watch the movie in pure English.

You may need to spend sometime to pass the first two steps. Do not reach the last step too early because it can greatly discourage you. However, if you reach it when you are ready you may never imagined that english is such a piece of cake for you.

Learn English Online : Lesson 2

Learn English Online: 3 Easy Steps

English Learning Tools: Find More here --> Learn English Online

Hundreds of ESL students and other people ask me the same questions. How to speak English fluently? or How can I improve my English skill? or What is the right way to learn English?

I used to answer them base on their obstacles until I discovered their common problems and finally came up with the easy-to-remember steps. Now, if anyone ask me I would simply advice them to think of the word CEK (it similarly pronouce like the word SEX which everyone knows very well!!) which stands for Change attitude , Expose yourself and Keep talking

- Change Attitude --> From my experience, this is the most common problems for anyone who wants to learn english. The point is you should realize that your goal is to communicate with people in English.

You do not want to be an english professor or a professional translator (Well, if you want to be please skip this article Immediately) so do not worry about 100% correct grammar.

It is acceptable for the beginner to say he don't know instead of he doesn't know as long as the listener understands what you are trying to communicate. At least it is less annoying for them to wait for you 1 minute to produce each perfect sentence.

-- Expose yourself --> This step means to expose yourself to English environment. Of course, it is better if you could come to US or UK to study or learn English but I would say that you don't have to.

This is the year 2006 and English is already everywhere. movie, music, newspaper, articles and hundred of tourists who walk pass you everyday can be great learning sources. Another easy way is to go through the content of this website and ask if you have any questions.

-- Keep talking --> Whenever you have a chance to talk or to test your skills, just do it. You can even assume situation and talk to yourself.

Do not worry about mistake. Everyone makes mistake, Tiger Woods, David Beckham, Madonna etc. Who are you? Come on. Let's go out and create your own lessons.
