英国‧从1万英尺高空跳下‧97岁老翁跳伞募款

（英国‧伦敦）高空跳伞被称为“勇敢者的运动”，就连20多岁的年轻人都需要足够的勇气，更何况近百岁的老人呢？

英国《每日邮报》报导，上週六（4月4日），英国一位97岁的老翁为了给慈善团体募集善款，勇敢地从1万英尺高的飞机上跳下。

8日迎接98岁生日

报导说，这位传奇老人名叫莫伊西，来自英国多塞特郡波恩茅斯市，4月8日他將迎来98岁的生日。

当天，在威尔特郡的內瑟拉文机场，莫伊西在教练的陪伴下从飞行高度1万英尺（约3048米）的飞机上跳下。在最初的5000英尺中，他们以每小时120英里的速度自由降落，降落伞打开后他们较平缓地下落，最终安全降落在索尔兹伯里平原上。

完成跳伞后莫伊西老人非常开心，他说：“这非常有趣，我真的很享受这种乐趣，我一点儿都没有害怕。这是我的第一次但不是最后一次。” - The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul

莫伊西还把自己在这般年纪还能如此敏捷灵活归功於运气。

他表示：“我没有无所事事，我参加社会活动，我每天都散步，我自己做饭、洗衣服、熨衣服以及所有一切。能如此灵活敏捷我真的很幸运。”

世界最老跳伞者101岁

莫伊西据称是英国最老的跳伞者，但他还不是世界上年龄最大的跳伞者。澳洲101岁的穆迪曾从9900多英尺的高空跳下，有趣的是，据说他是和朋友打赌才有了那惊人一跳。

跳伞之后，穆迪喝啤酒庆祝並收取他朋友们交出的赌注。

Full stop is not a Stop

My study has come to the full stop. After the submission of my final year project, I thought I will be delighted, yet I wasn't. I was apathetic. No more motivation to complete it, I already forgotten my achievement goals, I have given up. During the phase of life, I felt Life is just ain't about perfection. Imperfection in life is the essence of our growth. In order to grow, old proverb saying "no pain, no gain", it indeed applies to everyone of us. Being through thick and thin, sweat and tears, I started to realise that adaptation to sudden change is incredibly important. For instance, we have a goal to get a First Class Honour in our degree program, but our result speaks no to us. Is it show that we are stupid? Nope, it only tells us that it is a piece of paper which might granted us to obtain better job, yet which class you get is not the guarantee to get a better job. The end of college life, is the start of _______ life. People will fill in the blank themselves....

Spell or Hallucination

If you know a person, She claimed that "the maid put the spell on my family, at night a small boy will bite my foot, when I kick him away and I heard the sound of crying. Apart from that, she is mumbling at night. My daughter started to speak rudely to me, and did not call me as mother anymore. She moved back to her own house. My husband, he started to scold me in Malay, and also instructed the maid to beat grandsons. Everyone is sided the maid" No one is believing what she said. Her children claimed that she is just hallucination. She is just thinking too much because of her experience in stroke. After she got a stroke, things started to change. Her family did not treat her well. What is your advice? Is the maid put the spell on her family? Is she just thinking too much?

How to train your dragon (Movie)

If you said it is a waste to watch animation or cartoon in cinema, I will reject your idea. Firstly, most of the animation strongly project good moral ethics or values for the reference of audiences especially children. During the childhood, children ought to differentiate the right and the wrong distinctively, neither grey area nor in between. Value always serves as a guideline for us to oblige, not a compulsory because decision is still lied in the hand of human. This movie secretly intruded my deepen heart. It talked about relationship, a bond between dragon and human. The main character, Hiccup chose to save the night fury (dragon) because he saw the fear from its eye. Even a human, we got attracted or closer with people who are similar to us because we feel we able to understand each other better compared to differences. The flow of movie discussed the process of rejection, acceptance, understand and devotion in a relationship. When we are just a stranger for each other, we are re...
