destination is another starting point The picture above portrays a provoking scene in which a boy is running on to the finish line, with a signal on the ground in front of the finish line, saying "the starting point". With the title saying "destination is another starting point", this picture, I suppose, want to unveil the truth that reaching an achievement doesn’t mean anything but another stage of our life. Life is similar to an endless stair. That is to say, on its own is never satisfied, constantly beat ourselves, beyond ourselves and to achieve new goals, to reach a new level. The situation we can always find around us that people who indulge in his achievement can never catch up with the changing society is appalling as well as alarming. Thomas Edison is living proof that he embraced a struggling life and never stop challenging himself. Regarding every invention as a new challenge instead of the end of his life as inventors, he devoted all his life in his career and finally made him the most well-known inventor as well as an inspiring figure in 19th century. We can learn from Edison that the key point to success is not just settle for a couple of trophies and always desire to keep improving. In one word, the only constant in life beyond ourselves can we find the self-worth.

The Flower in Greenhouse The flower in greenhouse cannot survive from brutal nature, just as it portrayed in the picture above. Thanks to the greenhouse, the beautiful plant can enjoy a peaceful time when there is heavy rain outside. If the plant is directly exposed to nature, it will die within imagination. Now something similar could be found in current society. The drawing made a sharp critique on the phenomenon that some parents help their kids do all the things that supposed to be finished by their own and prevent their kids from experiencing evitable difficulties and failure in life, out of what they called “love”. The intended meaning, the picture conveyed is that anyone who never encounter loss will fail to survive from challenging society is appalling as well as alarming. With the overprotection from parents, children consequently will take the protection and love for granted and refuse to make risks, from which they may learn a lot. Given all this, something must be done for parents like this to make a change so as to lead their children a brilliant future. Firstly, changing attitude towards failure and difficulty is a promising start. Just as the old saying goes, happiness comes not keep away from misery but live with it. Moreover, it is crucial to encourage children to take an initiative to leave their comfort zone and try to solve problems by themselves. Only in this way can they establish a sense of responsibility and live an independent life.

the cultural hot-pot The increasing contacts between countries in recent decades provided the contemporary society with the spiritual wealth from each cultural group. Just as it depicted in the drawing, people are enjoying the cultural hot-pot together, with not only Chinese traditional spiritual values like Confucianism and Taoist but also the masterpieces from Shakespeare which are an essential integral of western culture. No one will deny that the cultural hot-pot produced by international contacts is a particular trait of the modern world. Each coin has two sides and the phenomenon is no exception. For one thing, people in the contemporary era are easier to get access to different ideals or works, on top of that, they will broaden their horizons as well as breaking the cultural barriers before them when they make friends with foreigners. For another thing, exposed to different cultures which might opposite to each other, the receiver will confuse and feel awkward in face of cultural conflicts. In general, the cultural hot-pot is an evident expression of the trend of increasingly multination intercourse, to which each person, even each country can't ignored. It is of great significance to take positive attitude towards it. That is, everyone is obliged to hold the opening view as well as improving their ability of discarding their dross and selecting their essence in order to make full use of the good-tasting hot-pot.
