Happy Halloween Day!!
Don’t wait to do good deeds
Don’t wait to express your gratitude.
It’s because waiting lasts forever.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
When there is an unsolvable problem,
let time solve it.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Use reason to solve problems.
Using emotions and sensations
lead to more problems.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Everything is attractive, but one must choose to buy.
Everything is appealing, but one must choose to sell.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Sometimes a bicycle is more important than a car.
Don’t neglect or over look trifling things.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“Garbage”
Everybody throws it away
but somebody keeps it.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
What is the most important?
Waiting for the opportunity,
creating the opportunity,
or grasping the opportunity?
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Good advice is more important than money
but most people prefer money.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Each day everyone has limited time.
If we focus on minor issues,
we will lose major issues.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
You should save what you want to be rich:
Money Time Power
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
When opportunity comes, don’t miss it.
When opportunity has gone,
don’t get disappointed.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Smile, modesty, and charming words are “one parts of success”.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Laughing is good only in the right occasion
Crying is bad but it is sometimes necessary.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
To avoid disappointment
don’t expect cats to hunt and
don’t expect tigers to catch mice.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Good deeds conquer the world,
Good reasoning conquers all.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
A sage failed is because of his arrogance
A student failed because his boast of intelligence,
The reward of arrogance or boast of intelligence is a painful lesson.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Everyone needs love.
The one who offers it first shall be rewarded 10 times over.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Life is simple, it’s just not easy.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
The best advice is this: Don’t take advice and don’t give advice.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
For the world, i’s just another day, But for me today is the best day of the year!
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Have a smile in all the way & have a lovely birthday.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
A birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun. Enjoy the trip.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
They say that age is all in your mind. The trick is keeping it from creeping down into your body.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened.

Origin of the New Year parades
In 1849, with the discovery of gold and the ensuing California Gold Rush, over 50,000 people had come to San Francisco to seek their fortune or just a better way of life. Among those were many Chinese, who had come to work in the gold mines and on the railroad.
By the 1860’s, the Chinese were eager to share their culture with those who were unfamiliar with it. They chose to showcase their culture by using a favorite American tradition — the Parade. Nothing like it had ever been done in their native China. They invited a variety of other groups from the city to participate, and they marched down what today are Grant Avenue and Kearny Street carrying colourful flags, banners, lanterns, and drums and firecrackers to drive away evil spirits.
CNY is widely celebrated among Chinese communities and particularly across Asian countries with dense Chinese populations. Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand are buzzing with activity during this time and visitors can enjoy the many lion dances, street parades, firecracker explosions and – or course – abundance of food available in each country’s respective Chinatown.
Today, Chinese New Year parades are annual traditions across North America in cities with significant Chinese populations. Among the cities with such parades are San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, and Vancouver, British Columbia. However, even smaller cities that are historically connected to Chinese immigration, such as Butte, Montana, have recently hosted parades.
