Typhoon
Typhoons are formed by tropical storms which usually happen during June to September every year. There are, on average, about 6 typhoons which will hit Taiwan every year. Some typhoons bring torrential rain while others bring heavy wind. In general, two in three typhoons make landfall in east Taiwan such as Yilan and Hualien counties. Once Taiwan is hit by the typhoon, the public transportation will be suspended such as the international and domestic flights as well as trains, the worst is that many people have died due to typhoons. In addition to this, eastern counties such as Yilan usually suffer the widespread power outage and the southern counties usually suffer flooding.
Last weekend, the first typhoon of the year, Neasat, made landfall in Yilan and the storm coverage covered the whole of Taiwan. The raging wind had cut power over 250,000 homes in Yilan where many utility poles and trees were blown down as well as there were floods in some areas. In addition, the air travel had been suspended for 12 hours. However, the Taiwan weather bureau has forecasted the next typhoon will make landfall in the southernmost county of Taiwan within 24 hours and it has been forecasted that it will bring heavy rain because it will happen in the time of high tide.

Why is water so important?
Water is the most precious resource in the world. Water has existed as long as the dinosaur. Water is not only important for human but the plant because we all need water to survive. Life origins from water and it's also the symbol of life.
Water is the basis for agriculture, environment and healthy. Lacking of water often leads to the serious problem, for example, drought and various illness. Pure water in the food we eat can kill bacteria and protect our body. There is no live without water. How can the human survive without water in the earth? The plant will wither, the animal will be thirsty to death and human will be starved to death. Because if there is no water, and then the rice, wheat and soybeans grown by farmers will not germinate
due to the lack of irrigation from water. The food for people will gradually decrease and people will die because of starving. The human, animal, and plant will keep disappearing. Do you know trees release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide? How can trees protect us and our environment if there is no water? In this way, the earth will become a planet without any living?

The key to success
This is a story about GRIT and why it might be just the key to success. Officially, it's the combination of persistence and resilience. Persistence means you keep going, even when the going is tough, and you stay focused on the task without getting distracted. Resilience is toughness. When you get knocked down, you bounce back up and try again. When you have both of these qualities, you can learn anything.
But why is grit so important? Because when things are easy, you are coasting along, it's nice. It might even be fun for a while, but you're not learning. Learning comes from struggle from trying and failing, learning from your mistakes. Remember when you first learn to ride a bike? or swim? It seems impossible at first and if you gave up after first try, it would be. But you're persistent. You keep trying. You start to get the hang of it. You practice. You work at it a litter bit at a time and eventually it starts to get easier for you. You learn from your mistakes and the more you work, the easier it gets. But remember, learning is hard work. That's why you need grit- because the key to success in your life and career is how you react when things don't go your way.
So the next time you're struggling with something in your life or in your studying, just remember it's part of learning and with a little hard work and a lot of grit, you can do things that once seemed impossible.

The meaning of life
"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.Everything around us that we call life was made up by people who are not smarter than you. So build a life, don't live one, build one. " Steve Jobs.
"You can not connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backward. You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future because believing the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well-worn path and that will make all difference. " Steve Jobs.
"You don't end up with a meaningful life, you create one. and it gonna get hard and you're gonna want to quit sometimes but it will be colored by who you are and more who you want to be."
You are responsible for your life

Stressful life
We've educated to study hard, go to the best university and then work in the best company instead of doing what we are really interested in and we are capable of doing well. After starting our career, we will gradually realize that there are no existing opportunities as many as we thought when we were in school but it's too late.
Next, you have to spend the rest of your life in pursuit of surviving in the fake society where everyone pretend they own the job and life they really want. They start to teach their generation to act like them. Over time, the fake society is formed. People choose to hide or give up their ideal and afraid of being found they still have the dream since they were a child. They are becoming a money-slaver and society-prisoner. They exchange their freedom and future for surviving.
The housing price is pretty high today. I am not sure it is worth buying one in the city in where I work. I might have to spend 70% of my monthly salary on the mortgage for 30 years. I will lose freedom because I can not risk losing my job. I lose my future since I bear 30-year mortgage. The unchangeable fact which is waiting for me in future is aging and death. No one can guarantee me would success if I follow your induction. No one can guarantee me that the world will work as the same as usual. If you can't, why can you put your expectation on my life?
It's very difficult to challenge the traditional life when you live in a traditional area. We should be brave to judge if the current traditional life will still work in 30 years time. Or we will regret when we are elderly.
