As they approach the last page, she reads, “.and Cinderella and the prince lived happily together ever after.” She closes the book and looks at the young girl, adding, “You know, things dont always happen like this in real life. I just think you should know that now.” We were all raised on fairy tales with glass slippers, brave princes and magic!

All the good pages and the bad can come together to make a beautiful adventure. When you find yourself wishing your life was more like the fairy tales, remember that in some ways it already is. There will be dragons, bad witches, great romances, winding roads and friends to help you along the way. So, keep rewriting your story every day that youre alive.

Generations have been attracted by this toy that lets children and adults alike create anything and everything. But with over 200 millions sets being sold a year in over 100 countries, the question remains where did Lego actually come from? Lego was born from the creative mind of Danish carpenter (木匠), Ole Kirk Christiansen, back in the early 1930s. He established a small business in Denmark. He and his team built a variety of household goods like ironing boards along with wooden toys. The Lego name was adopted in 1934, formed from the Danish words “Leg Godt” or “play well”, which means “I study” or “I put together” in Latin. Christiansens company continued to make wooden toys until 1942 when fire struck the entire Lego factory burned to the ground. Unwilling to give in, the factory was rebuilt and the production line restarted soon after. By 1954, Christiansens son, Godtfred, had become the junior managing director of the Lego Group. It was during his conversation with an overseas buyer that he was struck by the idea of a toy system. For over 30 years, the Lego Company made only toys and related goods. Then, in 1968, the company opened its first Legoland in Denmark. Combining the Lego building bricks with a computer, the Robotics Invention System 1.5 is now the most advanced toy in the Lego Company, which is targeted at users aged twelve and above, and that includes any parents or grandparents that want to join in.

Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. 36 Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal. It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didnt write it down? 37 But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If Im away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer. It helps you review all the lessons youve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons youve learned and the ideas youve gotten. 38 You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward. 39 After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far youve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today. It helps you expand your ideas.

It trains you to express your thoughts.C. It allows you to see your progress over time.D. Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.E.
