Quickwrite -- Dreams

When I was a child, I had a lot of dreams of future, like being a cartoonist, a computer scientist, a writer and an astronomers. However, those dream have disappeared one by one with my growing. Now, I think I find my real interest and future goal, is to lead and carry my band in Taiwan forward to the global, let everyone around the world know more about our mother land, Taiwan and reduce their discrimination and impressions to Asians.
My band will sell musics on itunes, which is nowadays biggest online music store, and earn some basic venture fund. We will use the fund to create a small-size studio that we can practice, record songs and doing some artworks, also we can set the studio as our secret place that we can discuss something about band or our daily things. While we have enough fund, the band members' ages are almost like 18~19. We are going to look for the Records to help us sell our albums, because we have enough popularity and money. Then, we earn more money from selling album and holding a concert or a show. We'll be a successful band as known from Taiwan!!
Even though this dream is not complete YET, but I'm sure that we are now doing our first step of the band success -- selling music on itunes. The band members (including me) will get the direct time to go to the studio record our first single and we'll practice some musics from the other bands like Linkin Park, Slipknot, Foo Fighters, or The Script, then we'll sell it on itunes and earn fund (We might be the youngest band on itune store). After that, we can through the steps, gradually complete my dream, our dream! (Our band has already known the way to sell music on itunes, so that's not a problem, including copyrights, we also have the measure and permit of copyright. we figured out how money comes to ours, too. WE ARE READY!!)

Quickwrite -- What makes the people so tough, so strong in spirit, and why?

There are some historian people in the history did a lot of contribution, some of them did a lot of bad things, like the large-scale slaughter. One of the most original example must be the first emperor of Chinese Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang.

He was born in a poor village, when he was a child, he was sent to be a monk of the temple in the mountain. China then was ruled by Mongolians, known as Yuan Dynasty. However, the government then was very weak and rot. Every civilians were poor and dead because of the famine, diseases then. Zhu Yuanzhang was one of the victims, the temple he belonged was destroyed. He ran off the mountain and went looking for foods and tried to survive. One time, he was almost dead because of the hunger, luckily, he was rescued by a kind old woman and fed by her. If the old woman didn't meet Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, the Ming Dynasty wouldn't appear in the history, maybe. Then, he joined the army of trying to defeat Yuan Dynasty, after years, he became the main leader of the army and defeat Yuang Dynasty, build Ming Dynasty and became the emperor.

After he became the emperor, his suspicious and irritable personality that was developed when he was poor, had been completely hide by the queen then. However, after the queen was dead, his personality was completely shown, lots of ministers and innocent people were killed.

Zhu Yuangzhang was a great emperor but also a bad-personality rulers in Chinese history. However, we can understand that what a person is, what makes these people so tough might be what they have experienced and feel. That might be a very important factor of why people are so tough. Their desire to do somethings might be one of the factors, too. Sometimes, every of their moves might effect every part of the history and the future.
