Wintertime
Winters in Taipei are very cold during the evening and very windy during the daytime. I usually look forward to the Lunar New Year's Day and the winter vacation when I can go to the village where the climate is warmer during these holidays. Also, I look forward to seeing my grandmother, great-grandmother, and my friends in the village; I like my grandmother's food very much. Winter is the time everyone is in a festive mood. In the city, I usually do a lot of reading at home in the w...

Fall Season
For me the autumn or fall season starts in September when school starts its new term. I usually do some shopping for school supplies and some winter clothes. The mild weather makes it very nice to study outside under the trees in a small park and read; I like to look up at the leaves changing colors from green to red and yellow, and then brown color. The park also has many bright fall flowers; sometimes I see a small squirrel come down from the tree to hunt for food on the ground. On the week...

Summer
Summer is the great season for all sports in the open air. It is the season for baseball which is often called the national sport because of its popularity. I usually watch television and read the newspaper reports about the baseball results of the newspaper reports about the baseball results of the little leagues. During the summer I like to go to the beach often because it is very close to my home in the village. I usually go there bur in the summer vacation to relax after many months in sc...

“Packing” a Person
A person, like a commodity, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the person's unique qualities to their advantage. To display personal charm in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A master packager knows how to integrate art and nature without any traces of embellishment, so that the person so packaged is no commodity but a human being, lively and lovely...

Knowledge and Virtue
Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another; good sense is not conscience, refinement is not humility nor is largeness and justness of view faith. Philosophy, however enlightened, however profound, gives no command over the passions, no influential motives, no vivifying principles. Liberal Education makes not the Christian, not the Catholic, but the gentleman. It is well to be a gentleman, it is well to have a cultivated intellect, a delicate taste, a candid, equitable, dispassionate mind, a no...
