Week 12: Growth Mindset
Today I want to introduce a good method of time management I learnt from my Commercial Banking class. This strategy is making plan.
I sounds simple and it is simple. However, this simple method helps a lot. In the morning, I spend 5 minutes on making a plan for today. And in the whole day I follow my plan and do things efficiently. The time we can save will be much much more than the time we spend on making a plan.
This strategy is learnt from my professor Stock. He use plans to make his progress very clear and nobody gets confused about progress of the class.

Week 12 Storytelling: A Man In Dog
Her car has been on fire. I have to get her out quickly
or she may die for severe burns. Despite the fire was burning me, I jumped into
the car from broken window and unfastened her seat belt. The door was hard to
open, so I used my legs to force the door open.
Fortunately, Billy is a large dog and I feed him very well,
otherwise I could not move this girl. We just ran away less than 50 yards, and the
car is completely burned up. She looked okay, but a lot of my dog hair was
burnt. When I touched my head, there was almost not hair on it. Fortunately,
the skin did not burn and I thought animal hair grows very fast.
Ambulance soon came; the girl was carried to the ambulance.
I was taken by a police car and we followed the ambulance to the hospital.
A nurse helped me a bath. After that I was waiting at the waiting area.
Three hours later, the girl came out.
“Lucy, you only have couple minor burns. I already cleaned them and I
think no additional treatment is needed,” said the doctor. “You dog saved you!
If you stayed in the car, you probably won’t die but most of your skin would have
to be replaced.”
“Wait, this is not my dog,” said Lucy confusedly. Then she hugged
and said to me gratefully. “Thank you so much for saving me! Your hair burned a
lot and you are still with me now!”
All of a sudden she noticed my collar.
“Here is his address. We live
very close. Shall we go home together? I have to thank your owner.” Lucy said
happily.
I was shocked for her hug because I have never been hugged by a girl
in my 26 years’ life. I suddenly came up with a thought.
“I do not want to be a human anymore!”
We went home together. When I approached my door, I realized
that I could not let Lucy see Billy in human body. I quickly ran into my house through
an open window and locked the door. Lucy knocked my door for a while and she
left a letter of thanks.
Billy did not wear pants and he looked very upset. When I checked
my fridge I found no food. I ordered a pizza for Billy for he was supposed to
eat human food.
As the pizza order was on the road, I tried to comfort Billy
in dog’s way. I licked Billy’s face and suddenly I realized that I returned in
my own body.
“I am very hungry!” I yelled.
When pizza arrived, I gave the delivery man a very nice tip
and started eating immediately. After dinner I recalled the moment I returned
to my body and I found the area of my face I licked had a mole there.
“This mole is very suspicious,” I said to Billy. “Should I
let you lick it again? No, forget it. What if I cannot switch back? I do not
want to be a dog forever.”
I opened my Facebook and I wanted to share this with my
friend. The old post was still laughed by many people. Then I found I got a
private message.
“Before you became a dog, your dog must have licked your
body. The place where the dog licked must have a mole. If you lick the mole
again, you will become a human again. Reply if you want to know more. Or delete
this message now for you safety.”
Author’s Note:
I write this story based on the 9th goblin I read from the TWENTY-TWO GOBLINS from this week. In the 9th goblin story, a beautiful girl
wants to select one from three candidates as her husband. They all have a
special talent in a career. In the end of the story, the King answers the
goblin that the girl should choose the warrior as he likes warriors.
I want to add some hero trait to my character, so Evan saved
the girl and accidently found why he became a dog. Then he will be involved in
a series of peculiar incidences.
My story will be continued next week. The
following plot will be based on what I will read in TWENTY-TWO GOBLINS.

Reading Diary B: TWENTY-TWO GOBLINS 11th&12th
The 11th goblin is a really long story, but the story is really enjoyable. I had two exams today, so I have a leisure evening time to spend on reading. The 12th is short though.
In the 11th goblin, a high-minded counsellor takes care of his king's kingdom for a long time. But rumors appear that people say the counsellor wants to take over the king's country. To end these, the counsellor decides to travel though his king does not want him leave.
When he comes back, the king falls in love with another girl, so the counsellor's heart breaks and dies.
The second story tells an innocent man is kill by coincidences made by unconscious people. The question is which one is responsible for his death. The king says the man himself should be blamed because everyone else cannot be blamed.

Reading Diary A: TWENTY-TWO GOBLINS 9th&10th
Today I read the 9th goblin and the 10th goblin.
The first story is about a pretty girl selecting her husband. There are three candidates. One of them has amazing skill on making clothes, one of them knows how to communicate with animals, and one the them is a warrior. The king finally says the girl should marry the warrior because a true warrior is much better than a weaver or a farmer.
The second story is that a king wants to know which one of his queens is the most delicate one. And I totally agree the reasoning in the end; the king says the queen who is hurt just by sound is the most delicate one. The other two are hurt by being touched physically.
From what I read in the 9th goblin, I will continue my story based one the girl the dog would save. My dog character would be a dog hero.
