How can be a excellent leader

    It is interesting to note that no matter a great corporation like Apple or a excellent individual like Martin Luther King, they both have a common factor to be succeed---their thinking ways were totally from others. 
    As a common person, we always think things in a regular way, here is the step: what--how--why. For example, when we want to sell a product, we always glad to introduce some functions or features of that product, we just keep saying what we know about them, because our aim is to sell these product, however,have you imagined why people are willing to buy your product? An excellent leader will first talk about what he believe, that is the main ideal of your product, then he will attract those who believe what he believe. Then he will say by which way this product can show what he believes, later he will talk more about the product itself, so that is why you want people to buy your product. Rather than keep talking the advantages of your product, say more about what you believe will make people more inspired. A typical case is also Apple, if you believe what is the soul and ideal of Apple, you may want to buy all the products of Apple, not only iPhone can attract, but also,iPad, iPod are also attractive. 
   The aim of salesman is not sell the product itself, the aim of a speaker is not need more people support his speech and ideal. What they both are concerned are the soul they want to deliver to the consumer and listener. So talk about what you believe, you will attract those who believe what you believe.

The amazing experience in my Spring Break.

The past 10  days in Spring Break is one of my unforgettable period during my life.

The first day, my boyfriend and I were waiting for the IELTS test result, which was the forth time we attended this test. Full of anxious and nervous, if we failed again, it means we would cancel the plan for Spring Break, and we had to revise again for the next test. Lucky, when we entered the test result system, we input our basic information, then the test result showed in front of us---We passed it! Both of us achieved  satisfied test scores. Everything like in the dream, but it really true. Accordingly, we can continue our plan for Sping Break----Our aim was to drive through 6 states in the western area in United States, California, Nevada, Iowa, Washington, Oregon, respectively.

The next day, we rented camping equipment, such as tent, sleeping bag, and field equipment for cook. So that, we can live in the tent, which could not only give us the experience to get close to nature, but also save a great deal of expense allocating on hotel. After all the preparation, we set up at 4' clock,  till the day became to night, we had to find a camping ground to have a rest. According to the GPS, we successfully arrived at a camping ground. However, disappointed us, there was no light in the camping ground, although it charged us 45 dollar and regulated by government. we can just use torch, to set a tent immediately. Unbelievable, after we finished setting up our tent in the dessert, I noticed a sign that said:" Please be friendly with our snake friends!" As for me, snake is the most and the only animal that can make me extremely sacred. We are so scared to what we have seen that we scream for fear. So we have to pick up the tent and move this terrible place!

That is 2' clock at night, we had drive continue or we had to sleep in the car! Long time driving made us extremely tired, we found a rest area in the Road 395, then took a nap until the drawn came in.

We drove at least 8 hours everyday,the next day seemed went well. However, a nightmare came to our life again--when we passed a town in Iowa, we got a ticket from police! Actually, It was a lady told a policeman that we drive passed her! So ridiculous!  Because our car were under the speed limit, also, we passed the car just in the space---we called --between the double-yellow.In fact, the policeman didn't think we are wrong, instead, the lady insisted that we defend the traffic rule! The policeman speak numerous sentences to us, because of poor English ability, we couldn't understand what he said. We just said" YES",which in their mind we admitted our mistake.As a result, a-90-dollar ticket became our part of our journey.

We thought although this trip were bad at beginning, we might would get rid of bad fortune. "We will never meet policeman!" However, the next day, when we passed a small town at midnight, we were caught by policeman again. What is worse is that we broke the law of Washington State. Despite we had a lot of reasons to defend ourselves, the true was that we were driving 60 miles when the speed limit is just 35. We had to say goodbye to our journey in advance! The police man told us either we pay a great deal of fine or we go the jail! We had to go to court, let judge to deal with this issue. We had never met this issue in California before even be stopped by policeman! We didn't know what we should do to deal this things, we even didn't know what the court looks like,and what we ought to do in the court.

Actually, it was a so long story, I afraid I can't describe it well. Everything was amazing. Finally we were free from this situation. If some of them want to know more details of them I am willing to share, I just afraid all these words can't describe the whole story impressive.

In one word, it is a terrible journey expect for the beautiful view that could make us feel a little bit enjoyable. The last day of the trip, we had driven from Portland to Los Angeles for 16 hours, without any break!!!
