Why taking the SAT or ACT when you’re not ready is a terrible mistake.

For several years now, I’ve noticed that many of my students who study at international schools tend to take an SAT test just to “test the waters.”

This is such a bad move it’s not funny!

What’s so bad about it?

American admissions officers dislike students who only focus on tests. So, even if you manage to get a high score after you’ve taken the SAT too many times, you might be rejected anyway.

Your SAT score is so important! Please do not waste any opportunity to get a high score!

I read the following quote on Dartmouth’s website:

“We don't recommend excessive testing. Making the most out of your high school opportunities is more important than repeatedly taking standardized tests."

Is it only Dartmouth?

Actually, this kind of statement isn’t unique to Dartmouth - it’s pretty standard. Most of the top universities say exactly the same thing. This causes many people to believe that colleges don’t really care much about your SAT score.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

All you have to do is to look at the average SAT/ACT scores that enrolling students receive. As an example, successful applicants to Dartmouth average around 1500 (out of 1600). That’s pretty high! What do they mean then?

They mean that students need to focus on non-academic pursuits AS WELL AS getting a very high score on their SATs.

So, you definitely need a high SAT score, but you can’t look like you care that much. If you take a test before you’re ready, there will be a record of your lower-than-ideal score. You’ll naturally need to retake the exam a second, third, and, possibly, fourth, time.

Let’s say that you do achieve your ideal score on the fourth or fifth attempt. How will the admissions officer view you when you have exactly the same score as another applicant who only took the test twice or three times? Who will they select?

Naturally, they will not choose you because you look like a testing machine.

In the US, everybody knows that it’s foolish to take the SAT or ACT more than three times. That means that you should NEVER waste an attempt. You should be ready before you ever take the test.

So, what should you do?

First, “test the waters” in a safe environment: your home.

You can do some practice questions on Khan Academy to get a feel for the test. Then, when you feel ready to tackle the whole test, do one of the Official Tests found on Khan or CollegeBoard:

https://www.khanacademy.org/mission/sat/exams

https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/practice/full-length-practice-tests

Make sure you download the test, print it out and do it on paper. If you do it on the computer, you will NOT be simulating the real test.

Presently, there are a total of 9 released tests. CollegeBoard and Khan have released 8, and there is one more floating about on the internet. (As an aside, I actually use this test in my classes. I purposely avoid the other released tests because most schools use them and so do many students. I hate it when students say, “I’ve done that test before!”)

Simply using these tests will give you a good idea of what score you would get if you took the real test. And you can do this without risking being labelled a testing machine.

Also, as there are only 9 official tests out there, don’t waste them. Granted, there are other “official” tests online or in some schools, but these are usually riddled with errors or are incomplete. (I personally hate doing a test and not knowing which questions are faulty before doing it. Most of the time, students spend a lot of time trying to figure out the answers to questions that do not even have answers. It can be very frustrating.)

Another thing: of the nine, only 5 of them are previously administered tests. The first four “official tests” were designed before CollegeBoard switched from the old SAT to the new one in 2016. These four tests are quite easy compared to what is being tested now, so are not a great indicator of your future score. They are great for practicing question types - just understand that if you get a really high score on them it doesn’t mean that you will do just as well on test day.

Only tests 5-9 (also easier than the current tests) are the closest thing we have to the current SAT tests. Still, these are easier than the current test, especially in the reading section, so be aware that the reading will most probably be even tougher than what is in all of the officially released tests.

If you have any other questions related to how to prep for your SATs, feel free to leave a message below or PM me.

Enjoy your SAT studies!

#陳水扁 總統 ⚡病情嚴重惡化,民團夜宿喚人權
前總統陳水扁驚傳在9月中曾發生⚡呼吸中止⚡現象，時間長達8分多鐘, (請點撃下方 #阿扁 照片，只需回文一次，全世界自動分享人同步 ) Once again, it's time to look at Taiwan. Unfortunately, there is still a need to call for freedom from prison for Chen Shui-bian and a need to call out Ma Ying-jeou (the most unpopular president in Taiwan's history) to stop abusing human rights principles for shameful political hunts. For those of you who have been following, this call has been made for far too long and has seen deaf ears. For those new and old, let's look at some of the why. Following the latest findings in Taiwan's judicial system, the need is stronger than ever: a free Taiwan needs a free Chen Shui-bian. With a deeply problematic trial process, a failure to provide adequate medical care, and a dangerous message to a new multiparty democracy, Ma Ying-jeou's quest to continue to jail the first and only politician outside the Kuomintang (KMT) to hold highest office is a bad and faithless move. It is indicative of an attempt, with the complicity of the rest of the KMT for failing to speak out and dissent, to beat back the human rights that Taiwan's people have fought with their lives to acquire. The rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) deserve durable and complete respect, not the sort of abuse heaped upon them in the actions of a hapless president who's single-digit approval ratings suggest an intent to forgo the beauty of rights in an effort to grab the ugliness of raw power. 但就算病情如此危急，法務部仍拒絕讓陳水扁保外就醫。對此，有許多公民團體預計將於17日夜宿自由廣場，希望藉此喚起民眾對 #阿扁 人權的關注。根據榮總醫師郭正典證實，陳水扁在3個月內發生2次呼吸中止現象，最近一次是在9月14日凌晨，時間長達8分多鐘。陳水扁病情嚴重惡化，就連台中榮總醫師也無法醫治。前總統陳水扁驚傳在9月中曾發生呼吸中止現象，時間長達8分多鐘。有許多公民團體預計將於17日夜宿自由廣場，希望藉此喚起民眾對陳水扁人權的關注。針對法務部堅持不讓陳水扁保外就醫之事，現在有《陳水扁總統民間醫療小組》、《臺灣醫社》等多個公民團體預計在17日前往法務部召開記者會，並夜宿自由廣場。這些公民團體想藉由實際行動喚起民眾對陳水扁人權的重視，並希望法務部能承諾同意讓陳水扁保外就醫、居家治療。他們也強調，若未能得到法務部善意的回應，將不排除有下一步的動作。Taiwan has a long history in the history books of the West. When the Portuguese sailed by in 1544, they named the main island Ilha Formosa, or "Beautiful Island" by the Portuguese when they sailed by in 1544, though indigenous peoples who'd already been there for at least five thousand years already had names for it. In the following three and a half centuries China, Spain, and the Netherlands all juggled claims of sovereignty, settlement, and trading rights before the Qing Dynasty ceded the area to Japan in the late nineteenth century. After WWII, the Republic of China was established by the Kuomintang (KMT) in retreat from the Chinese civil war and took possession after Japan's surrender.
Taiwan魂認識台灣人的總統－陳水扁 ☔ #台湾の本土化運動を推進する立場からの総統である 呂秀蓮 明確宣布，本周日(28日)下午2點在中山堂及西門町舉辦的台灣和平中立公投連署活動結束之後，立即轉往台灣博物館 (襄陽路2號)進行救扁絕食。呼籲各界人士以各種方式共同響應，以免陳水扁前總統在法務部的怠慢中病情惡化，導致任何不測。陳總統民間醫療小組, 郭正典 陳昭姿 郭長豐 Johnny Huang 黃育旗 聲明 : 對於呂副總統將以絕食要求讓陳總統儘速保外就醫一事，我們深表心痛與不捨。伴隨且照顧陳總統將近三年的民間醫療小組，非常了解陳總統，他寧可犧牲自己性命，也不願意任何人為救援他而絕食傷身，尤其支持者不乏老弱民眾；此外，絕食可能引起的生命健康風險，還需要顧及醫療後援是否充足。基於上述理由，身為醫療團隊成員，我們不主張響應絕食，但呼籲群眾前去關心與聲援，不讓呂副總統孤單。希望馬政府尊重醫療專業，履行人道與人權，儘快讓陳總統返家療養, 臺左維新主辦救扁音樂會之打倒國民黨 自由廣場, 協辦與聯名團體目前確定有(依筆畫排序)：小蜜蜂全國工作總部、公投護台灣聯盟、太陽­花青年福音團、台灣北社、台大濁水溪社、民主鬥陣、全面真軍、青春快閃、拷秋勤、捍衛­台灣文史青年組合、基進側翼、黑色島國青年陣線、激進陣線、 臺左維新, Video sorce 福爾摩鯊會社 FORMOSHOCK , 我們亦在此向所有支持釋放陳前總統的朋友，公開徵求陳水扁總統相關的影片、照片（無版­權疑慮者），作為我們後續製作活動宣傳影片的材料。

　2. 為關而關，台北地方法院審判中途換法官

　 5. 所謂「扁四大案」大多已判無罪定讞
http://abian.tw/?c=6&id=744&ref=ch
The "Republic of China" (ROC) had a rocky start under the KMT. With the status as the sole legal party and as puppet prop of Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship (followed by his son's), the KMT established an authoritarian state replete with human rights abuse and little freedom accorded to the island. With the White Terror beginning with the 228 Incident ini 1949 and initiating martial law that was the world's longest when eliminated in 1987 (currently only human rights horrorshow Syria has a longer record), the KMT has a grim record as caretaker of the rights of Taiwan's residents. Only in the last decade of the twentieth century was there any legal opposition party and only in the last five years of it was the first direct presidential election, with the 1996 term of incumbent, Lee Teng-hui, serving his final term as president. In the next election, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) saw Chen Shui-bian and Annette Lubecome the president/vice-president in the first non-KMT administration in the ROC. The duo won a second term in 2004 and were precluded from another term in 2008, when the KMT returned to power with the election of Ma Ying-jeou (fifty eight percent and reelected in 2012 with fifty one percent). Disturbingly after Ma took office, a vendetta has been pursued against Chen.前總統陳水扁目前仍在台中監獄服刑，其子陳致中今天替他發表兩本新書《 #送進黑牢的愛心餐》和《 #穿透黑暗的天光 》，#陳致中 說，根據最新民調，有7成的台灣民眾認為阿扁應該保外就醫，呼籲馬英九不要漠視民意，早日讓父親出獄接受治療。

Rather than engage in a peaceful transfer of power, which might have helped burnish the KMT image showing them to be gracious winners rather than sore losers, the Ma administration pursued any and every wisp of possible allegation in a set of legal proceedings that were deeply disturbing and violated the international legal norms that we take for granted in the developed and democratic world. Shifting charges, witness intimidation, costumed harassment, and a public relations smear campaign did not speak highly of the motivations of the prosecution (directed by Ma's Special Prosecutor and only answerable to him) nor of any evidence as being other than gauzily thin hearsay. It served to indict Ma himself as incapable of reconciling an island that could only be called "polarized" in the most charitable and expansive use of the term. On innumerable charges, and with the KMT incapable of producing any definitive list of pending cases to us in nearly three years of requests by us nor to even define in law the supposed "inability" of Ma to offer better relief to a former president and the only one from the opposition, Chen was sentenced to nineteen years and has served over a third of his sentence.

➡#蔡宜蓁 http://goo.gl/Lg3rgU ➡#StevenHong http://goo.gl/fKDRDkEdit Chen was jailed with considerable prejudice and with clearly premeditated intent to silence dissent from the KMT agenda. His conditions of detention were below those of an international standard of prison conditions and his treatment was depressingly disregardful of his position and state. While we firmly believe that all peoples should receive equal treatment under the law, we also believe that it is a deeply dangerous message to treat Chen so despicably for charges that appear to us (and increasingly to the public and opinion leaders) to be trumped up and based on accusations of nonviolent behaviors. As the first and only opposition leader in the highest political office, Chen's supporters of all stripes both past and current, and any who would deviate from a programmatically KMT-dictated agenda, have been warned off with a hideous message. Ma has certainly shown his willingness to attack any who deviate from his orthodoxy, including the KMT members who happened to be Minister of Justice and the widely respected Speaker of the Legislative Yuan (Taiwan's single-house legislative House). Additionally, his treatment during incarceration has, once again we state, created new medical conditions that are serious and have made others worse (in some cases permanent). This experience is another systematic attack on his basic human rights.＜快訉＞：特偵組查無洗錢實證，釋放陳水扁，偵辦5年多，將陳總統洗錢案全案簽結，因為查無任何不法，但是陳總統人呢？在黑牢已經快6年，腦病變愈來愈嚴重，不准保外就醫，國務機要費案無罪、外交零用金案無罪，唯一在執行的龍潭案，關鍵證人辜仲諒早就承認作偽證，全臺灣人站出來~前總統陳水扁先生說；有次吃飯時，被米粒阻塞嗆到，後來到門診取出一堆米粒；過幾天，有次半夜一點多，他不知是嗆到，還是睡眠呼吸中止症的關係，一直無法呼吸，他就想到猝死，「萬一真的有事，我放棄急救，不要插管，不要浪費葉克膜」。黃煌雄以4張照片追溯17個月來扁病情的發展http://m.appledaily.com.tw/.../politics/20140616/417057 What's new? What's new is that a panel of special prosecutors have now dismissedany possibility of added money-laundering charges against Chen after five years of his time in prison with sinking hope. After the conviction of an earlier special prosecutor, there should be serious suspicion renewed and increased about the legitimacy, motivation, and impartiality of this set of cases. Once again, Chen appears innocent of the array of charges against him while his medically-verified ill-health has been caused, aggravated, and made permanent because of the conditions of his incarceration. Chen should be freed immediately and a special prosecutor might open an investigation into Ma Ying-jeou himself.<需要分享這個活動，讓訊息散發出去.謝謝> 保外就醫依監獄行刑法第五十八條之規定有下列情形之一：(一) 受刑人現罹疾病，在監內不能為適當之醫治者。(二) 受刑人衰老或殘廢不能自理生活者。(三) 懷胎五月以上或分娩後未滿二月者。陳水扁目前的身體狀況不好，而且有生命危險：http://alliancesafeguardingtaiwan.blogspot.tw/.../blog...

Given that we spent decades declaring that Taipei was the legitimate government of China only to suddenly lurch such recognition to Beijing in an effort to contain and counter the Soviet Union, you'd think we'd know more. You'd especially think we'd know more since we continued to be the guarantor of Taiwan's autonomy with military exercises, arms sales, and implied willingness to intervene on behalf of Taipei in the event that Beijing were to use force. Moreover, as perhaps the standard-bearer of East Asia's quickest shift from authoritarian rule to multiparty democracy and a society as wired and hip as Tokyo (or Portland), you'd think we'd be at least aware of the stakes at hand.

But the last six years have seen attempts to reverse the gains made, and it must cease so Taiwan can move forward again. The people of Taiwan deserve the human rights gains they have fought for, and for those gains to both continue and to be durable. It is time to free Chen Shui-bian and to dump Ma Ying-jeou. Take a moment to contact your Senators and Representatives in Congress (once again, seewww.contactingthecongress.com for details on how) and ask them to speak up on behalf of Chen Shui-bian and to watch carefully the rabidly vengeful Ma Ying-jeou. There should most certainly be a resolution to prevent or deprive Ma from obtaining a United States passport to use to flee with ill-gotten gains after the end of his disastrous second term, but it is the freedom of Chen, and the hope of the pluralist rights-loving Taiwanese themselves that is the most important goal.

☔ #袁紅冰 對 #阿扁 總統完全改觀, 他寫這本書是要為 平反 #陳水扁 總統
這本書好像2012年就出了, 不過我五月看到的是2014年4月重新編版的版本. 應該很多前輩都看過了, 不過還是分享一下(而且連 #誠品書店 都自我審查, 開始愛放不放袁紅冰的書了)

總之, 袁紅冰在2009年的書"台灣大劫難"裡對陳水扁跟他家族貪腐給台灣自由造成的傷害嚴厲批評, 不過從2010年起中共內部權力鬥爭以後, 很多機密的訊息流出來,就把共產黨跟國民黨是如何聯手預謀, 在中共總参二部主導下, 把阿扁構陷出貪瀆案, 然後從此汙名化台灣的民主及台獨思想.自此袁紅冰對阿扁完全改觀, 他寫這本書是要為阿扁平反, 他寫:"陳水扁執政八年期間,台灣擠身世界上最自由的國家行列. 這是台灣的驕傲, 也是人類自由事業的重大成果.當前, 陳水扁冤案在拷問台灣的良知. 台灣人如果沒有勇氣和智慧拯救處於司法迫害下的臺灣之子陳水扁, 也就不可能拯救台灣的前途...."

他認為現在不只是要爭取陳水扁保外就醫的權力或特赦, 更重要是要揭露陳水扁遭受中共及其操控的勢力的政治誣陷和司法迫害的內幕, 向世界證明陳水扁無罪, 從而還陳水扁以公道.裡面還提到2004年阿扁競選總統連任時的三一九槍擊案, 也是中共安排的, 而且本來就預計要刺而不殺(呂后是倒楣的), 只要輕傷,並且事後用中共在台灣養的名嘴及藍營人士去發輿論說一切都是阿扁自己策畫的苦肉計,綠營當然會反駁, 然後在藍綠吵來吵去時, 中共就安排李昌鈺來鑑定(原來他也是他們的人啊~~), 在李昌鈺結論三一九"非政治謀殺"後,說阿扁自導自演的輿論更是沸沸揚,一切都是中共的完美演出...

來幫書畫個重點~
2000年阿扁當選總統, 中共國民黨所有的人都嚇一跳, 連阿扁自己都沒有想到, 中共就慌了手腳想要打擊他; 書裡講應該只有李登輝預見阿扁會當選,寫說李登輝力推連戰為國黨候選人, "只因其人至於至蠢, 至笨至拙, 獲選為該黨候選人已經表示未選先輸", 逼著宋楚瑜脫黨參選, 幫助阿扁當選;

2002年中共總参二部就出"囚"這個對台戰略, 目的是從政治摧毀台灣的民主跟台獨, 因為這會影響到中共的核心國家利益. 從這裡就開始了中共主謀, 國民黨幫兇把扁羅織入罪的計畫了, 重點是用台灣法律程序對阿扁進行追訴, 正好用到國民黨的政治遺產- 一直追隨國民黨的檢調司法情治部門;

2004年陳雲林曾經建議中共當局全力投入政治資源, 幫助國民黨打贏民進黨, 但是沒被採納, 一來阿扁執政這四年, 中共醞釀的還不夠, 沒有把握一次摧毀他;二來因為中共想要讓國民黨再餓四年, 讓一些2000年敗選時還沒投奔中共結盟取暖的國民黨權貴, 徹底的失守奔向中共;然後就是開始嚴密監控阿扁全家, 幕僚所有身邊的人...
順便養十幾個名嘴, 中共判斷台灣為典型庸俗小市民社會, 民心民意主由同樣庸俗的大眾傳播媒介左右, 除了輿論讓人們相信的東西之外, 再沒有任何其他事實真相~

再由中共暗中出資, 由徹底投共的台灣商人出面買台灣媒體 (忘忘), 他們提出在2008年後要充分應用操控台灣輿論的能力, 形成對台獨抑制避之唯恐不及的政治氛圍，紅衫軍也是中共的完美計畫一部分, 施明德可能到現在都還搞不清楚狀況, 但是施明德當時曾經力阻國民黨權貴徹底發動動亂衝進總統府攻扁, 不知是否因還有良知?
2008年年初中共台灣戰略家辛旗總結紅衫軍運動時, 曾惋惜嘆:"紅衫軍攻入偽總統府,抓拿陳水扁之謀功敗垂成, 是一大憾事. 否則, 我軍早可藉機揮師入台...";
(這不是暴民, 什麼才是暴民?)

"囚"本來是設定到2012年就終結, 在胡胡出席18代移交政權時順便簽和平協議close thedeal, 但中共爆發薄熙來事件, 他們太忙了就沒做這事...中共很喜歡林毅夫（到今天為止仍被通諜罪追訴）曾有考慮他當台灣特別行政區第一個特首才由星雲開口把他"人道關懷"回台灣, 就是林毅夫想出用EFCA把台灣鎖進中國經濟體不得翻身~
中共收買了前美國AIT包道格, 包在2012年大選前幫馬助選，

https://www.facebook.com/river10des…/posts/10203105393291822

陳雲林說可以用十億美元幫馬英九買一個諾貝爾和平獎.中共透過國安部的戰略特務蔡國強去把馬英九女兒納入旗下學爆破~ (所以馬在中共手裡的就是女兒嗎? 沒有裸照也沒有神秘689嗎?)

中共對馬的定位認為是亡黨亡國之君, 他們對馬的威脅利誘不斷, 對馬覺得有點煩, 因為馬還有權力, 不像國民黨權貴已經無權, 只要中共略施小惠就感激涕零, 馬想要開天價, 所以偶爾我們看到統媒也一直在挑撥藍營內部反馬, 或強力主打馬低民調的新聞, 就是中共在給他下馬威.2011年夏天, 台灣大選忙著競選時, 黃世銘率檢察系統官員訪問大陸受到接待, 事後在相關報告中留下兩句話: 通過接待活動的安排, 給台灣檢察官留下一個深刻印象,及祖國是他們的堅強後盾, 他們依法承辦台獨勢力的努力, 會得到強有力的支持.台灣檢察官員都很放鬆, 普遍表現出對美食美酒以及某些刺激性娛樂的興趣..." 黃世銘回來後不久, 檢調單位就以國安密帳起訴李登輝.

總結-阿扁到底為什麼還在坐牢？？

如果這本書的內容屬實, 坐牢的不應該是他, 鄭南榕已然離世,

阿扁還咽咽一息的活著, 他應該要好好的, 被台灣人尊敬的活著-More #陳水扁加油 to read

《WhatsApp and its USD0.99》
by Roy Kwong Translated by Selina Kinyee Chau

The WhatsApp software developer has informed its users to the app to be payable, triggering a fight between iPhone users and android users because iPhone users only pay USD0.99 once to enjoy life-long service but android users need to pay the same price every year.

Android users complain, “Why iPhone users only need to pay once but we need to pay every year?” iPhone users retort, “You didn’t say anything when we were being charged at the beginning. And now you are complaining.” So the two parties are stuck at whether the charge is unfair to Android users.

After the Two Ticks and Last seen on (Please refer to the previous article of the same writer), the WhatsApp started a fight again because of this USD0.99 issue. From between lovers to friends, now it has even extended to the whole user group of the two giant software developers. It should be named the Most Evil App of the Century.

The inconsistency of charging is of course WhatsApp’s fault. However, for those who can afford a smart phone that cost thousands dollars will be able to afford USD0.99 which is only the price of a can of coke, won’t they?

Some student users may complain, “I don’t have a credit card, I’m not able to pay at the App Store, WhatsApp are not considerate of us.” It is reasonable for users under 18 to complain if they don’t have a credit card. But if the charge is a disaster of WhatsApp, isn’t it just time for people to show their kindness? Friends who have a credit card can rescue others at this time, “I have a credit card. Let me pay it for you.”

Friends without a credit card will appreciate what you have done for them, although it is WhatsApp’s fault of the forbiddance of sending messages before the expiry date, reactivating the function for your friends by buying them a can of coke is meaningful, isn’t it? The USD0.99 of WhatsApp has created a chance to show your care to your friends, how nice as a social networking app!

Recall those days when we were still texting, it was actually not financial friendly at all. For the sake of keeping in touch with our friends, we were compelled to use the same service provider as theirs even its service was the worst in the world and we had to survived three times every day from losing connection just because to keep the text messages free of charge.

Still, the Two Ticks and Last seen on functions have created a lot of problem. But the invention of WhatsApp allows us to send messages for free, save us from paying for every text messages. It deserves to be granted a credit. And the simplified process by just clicking a few buttons to send pictures, videos and audios when we could only do so via email in the past. What’s more, WhatsApp had actually stated in the Terms and Conditions that charge may be applied after the first year.

So there have been so many complaints about WhatsApp being unfairness and has been given the name “a broken app” when it announced to charge? No one ever said something like that before the charging. After the charge applied, negative comments has swept over the Internet. Some suggested to use another communication app, Line, which is free of charge, and WhatsApp has become the public enemy. Despite the inconsistent charge, what’s wrong for WhatsApp to charge for using the app?

Have we become too comfortable enjoying free lunch without notice?

I still remember how hard I tried to save to buy a CD home and listened to it again and again when I was a kid. I had never been tired of it because it wasn’t easy. When there was a movie I liked, I saved hard to go to the cinema for it. If I didn’t have enough money, I bought the VCD when it was released. But VCDs were only available for movies not for TV shows. I had to start sitting in front of the TV before the show I liked started so that I wouldn’t miss any parts. And recorders became my good friend too. I really cherished the only-180-minute memory of every tape.

After I grew up, thanks to the advanced technology becomes able to store everything, the TV, computer, CD player, VCD player, game station and recorders, into ONE smart phone, only without the air conditioner. Want to listen to a song? Go to Youtube; want a movie? PPS, internet TV! A TV show? There are also apps you can watch live TV or play back. Want some games? From Angry Bird to Candy Crush, there are thousands of choices waiting for you.

However, The advance of technology has devalue our attitude towards making efforts. Because everything has become easy to get nowadays.

Have you noticed the songs nowadays are not as good as those in the past? That could be the problem of quality itself but more likely, it is because we have too many options. Now we just need to click a few buttons, thousands of search results will come out and we can listen to them right after. We are spoiled to be greedy unconditionally. We didn’t realize how long we hadn’t paid for a CD until the news of HMV’s bankruptcy spread out.

In the past we had to sit still and paid 100% attention to the movie to enjoy it, now we can just watch it from a few-inch-wide screen on a train. But the price is we keep being interrupted by the surrounding noise and people. When the character is saying something moving, we would just realize we’ve missed the stop and have to rush to get off. It may be free to watch a movie like this but I prefer paying to buy a ticket to go to the cinema.

We don’t need to worry about missing the best part of a TV show because our friends always share them on Facebook. We don’t need to watch every scene but you know what is going on in every story. But why is there still something missing? It turns out that we only keep the concentrated part of everything while the every well panned detail has been wasted. We don’t spend time building a connection with the characters in the story. However, if we don’t even spend time watching the the TV show by ourself, how can we feel the same way as the characters do, like we did in the past?

You don’t feel the pain losing something if you have never made any effort. It is just like we keep those old comics that we spent all our pocket money on even they are old and worn , but we are able to uninstall an app on our phone without a thought. Well, just take a couple seconds to download and we will own it again anytime.

While we are expecting making no effort, we are also destroying creativity. Creators lack of motivation. Creativity is worth nothing nowadays. People will search for replacement when one creativity starts to charge. This is not just about the USD0.99 of WhatsApp, it’s about our value on Give and Take.

Technology has changed our life, but we should never let it change our values.

We avoid Giving. But giving is vital for us to learn to cherish. Sometimes we get back more by giving than not giving, not just about money but also about love. Think about it, if we get what we want easily without paying any effort, comparing with that you devote yourself to a relationship while the other devotes to the relationship as much as you. Then none of you will give up on the relationship easily.

If you think WhatsApp is good, it deserves the USD0.99. Although I am still annoyed by the evil functions such as the Two Ticks and Last Seen on. WeChat is free but you have to pay your liberty of speech for it. One user once tried to send the name of Southern Weekly in Chinese, the system reminded him that “The message has involved sensitive words, please try again after making modification.” What’s wrong with the name of Southern Weekly? The even more ridiculous thing is, while I am writing this article, I get the news that WeChat now has tightened up the regulation that users have to use their real name, phone number when posting on the public forum and are even required to upload the photo of them with their ID card, like you have committed some serious crime.

To avoid paying USD0.99, you need to escape to somewhere that and be monitored. One day if you really encounter some sensitive issue, you will realize not paying actually pays more than paying. I believe most of readers are willing to pay for this USD0.99. We hope WhatsApp will open up more channels for payments.

Don’t let the wheels of Time make us forget the value of giving.
