The boy who will never grow

Jack seems like any other 8 year-old boy.
He goes to school, he loves sport, and his favourite thing is swimming.

The problem is that Jack has Morquiose, a rare genetic condition that means his skeleton will never grow. Now at the age of 8 Jack is the size of a 4 year-old and has almost reached the full height he'll grow.

It's good to know that Jack has resilience, and never gave up even though people bullied him. I think that's really cool, as he's ONLY 8 YEARS OLD.

This film follows the life of Jack and his family as they face the uncertain future of life with this rare disease.

The light bulb

Thomas edison. A famous person. The guy who invented the light bulb.

"I have not failed 700. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 700 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work."
Thomas Edison.

I mean, in the olden days, I'm sure Thomas had it tough.

People must have mocked him for being so, what they call "silly".

I myself have experienced failure, & it isn't so pleasant.

Thomas Edison is indeed, truly, one-of-a-kind.

Resilience motivates me to look for opportunities to learn, rather than be defeated by what I do not understand, as well as encourages me to keep moving, when giving up may seem to be a viable option.

Ice Princess

ICE PRINCESS IS A MUST-WATCH SHOW!

This story basically talks about how a high-school bookworm transforms into a swan.

Brainy Casey Carlyle has never quite fit in.

Caught between her fantasy of becoming a championship figure skater and her strong-willed mother, who has her on the fast track to Harvard, she can only hope to be like Nikki, Tiffany and Gen--three elite skating prodigies who are ruthlessly competing on the US National circuit (and have attitudes to match).

But when Casey gets the chance to train with Gen and her coach, a disgraced former skating champion who also happens to be Gen's mother, she must dash her own mother's hopes in order to pursue her dream. Now, with only the support of Gen's teenage brother, a hunky Zamboni driver, Casey takes on the challenge of her life when she finds herself competing against the best to make it into the championship circuit and become a real "ice princess."

At first, her mother did not agree with her decision of being a skater.

Casey also have to work many jobs at once, keep her grades up, and has to make do with old skates.

However, she never gave up!

This movie has a really sweet ending, it shows how the coach and Casey's mother finally got along, and discussed Casey's dream of being an ice-skater, as well as school life.

American Idol

Perhaps, you have seen Scott MacIntyre in American Idol? Yep, that's him in the pic! ;D

Scott MacIntyre's daily struggle with low vision can be compared to "looking at the world through a coffee straw."
Diagnosed with the rare genetic eye disorder Congenital Leber's Amaurosis, Scott is totally blind in dim lighting and only has two degrees of tunnel vision in the center of his field.

The accomplished pianist, who has performed with the Phoenix Symphony as well as internationally, is only able to see one note at a time on a sheet of music. "Some would view my visual impairment as a tragic loss," he says. "I don't view it in that sense any longer. My love for music has more than compensated for my lack of vision."

Before he began using RFB&D's recorded books, Scott dreaded reading any text, for it was cumbersome, time consuming and frustrating.
After he was introduced to RFB&D, however, he found recorded books to be much more efficient and enjoyable.
Sharing books such as Robinson Crusoe and Huckleberry Finn with his family became a bonding experience on long car trips.
Eventually all that listening to RFB&D's audiobooks paid off in a big way - Scott graduated from college at an age when most seniors are just graduating high school.

At 19 years old, Scott graduated summa cum laude at Arizona State University and was selected by USA Today as one of the nation's top 20 collegiate seniors of 2005.
Also named a Marshall Scholar, Scott is studying music at Cambridge University and Royal College of Music in England.
When not studying, Scott enjoys everything from musical theater and ballroom dancing to computer programming and skiing. "RFB&D has removed one of the most preventative barriers to my education," says Scott. "I am now liberated to enjoy virtually any printed material imaginable."

Though i'm not an avid fan of Americn Idol, I admire Scott for his resilience.

Billy elliot

Billy Elliot, one of my all-time favorite shows!

It talks about how an 11 yr old boy,Billy Elliot, stumbles out of the boxing ring and onto the ballet floor.

He faces many trials and triumphs as he strives to conquer his family's set ways, inner conflict, and standing on his toes!

1984: In a northern England mining town, miners are on strike and the atmosphere is tense. Eleven-year old Billy Elliot, whose father and brother are participating in the strike, whose mother has died quite some time ago and whose grandmother is not completely aware of what's going on, doesn't like the brutal boxing lessons at school.

Instead, he falls for the girls' ballet lessons. When his folks find out about this unusual love of his, Billy is in trouble. Being supported by the ballet teacher, Mrs. Wilkinson, he keeps on training secretly while the work situation as well as the problems at home get worse. Finally, Mrs. Wilkinson manages to get Billy an audition for the Royal Ballet School, but now he also has to open his heart to his family.

Against the background of an increasingly bitter miners' strike that his elder brother and father are involved in, young Billy Elliot finds he prefers joining in the girls' ballet class at the local hall to the boxing he's there for. The ballet mistress soon realises he has real potential, but no-one, least of all his family, is likely to go along with a lad doing dancing.

Billy was resilient in trying to persuade his family to see that he loves ballet!

In the end, of course, he succeeded.

Moms have it tough!

Through this video, I realised that Mothers are really great! :D

I mean she has alot of stress from her children.

Just from this song, you can tell that Mothers have alot of responsiblity, & worries.

Even so, we children don't really appreciate our Mothers.

I guess, Mothers are the most resilient people on Earth. (:

Saying a "THANK YOU" to all mothers out there!

land before time

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG!
Listen to the lyrics carefully!

At the beginning of the movie, it shows that there is a drought occuring. Dinosaurs did not have enough to eat, thus, began a journey to the Great Valley, where it was filled with freen food and more cool water.

The "long necks" gave birth to little foot.

The "three horns" gave birth to Cera.

However, there was prejudice between the different dinosaur species, and they never do things together.
That night, Sharptooth attacked Cera and Little foot when they were playing together.

Little foot's mother intervened, and managed to defeat him, but suffered many injuries too.
At the same time, there was a clash of continents, which caused a great earthquake that split the lands. Herds were divided, families cut in two.
Littlefoot was separated from his grandparents & Cera was separated from her parents.
Little foot's mother died.
At first, Little foot could not get over the death of his mother. He did not eat, nor think about the Great Valley he must reach.
However, he pulled himself together when he meets an old dinosaur named Rooter.
Along the way, he met a cheerful dinosaur named Ducky, a flier who could not fly named Petrie, Cera, and Spike.

The 5 dinosaurs travelled together to the Great Valley.

Though they were sore-stumped and tired, Little foot kept urging them to go on, even though he had never seen the Great Valley himself.
Doubts began to rise as time past by.

However, Little foot displayed resilience and did not give up. " What if the Great Vallley is just over these rocks?" Little foot was optimistic.
His friends left him for Cera later on, as the path Cera took was much easier.

Little foot still did not give in, and tried to tell them that there were going the wrong way.
Little foot came back to help Cera and the other when they were in trouble.

They finally made it to the Great Valley together, and found their family.
