<Bliss Meeting Notice> “Your Beliefs Create Your Own Reality” by Sanli on Feb 3. 2018 For those in need/search of The Third Language Learning: Sanli is coming back, whirling all the memories surrounding her, a goal-oriented, passionate and Bliss-committed lady, so courageous enough to throw herself into harsh climate & fluctuating currency Russia, far away from Mother Taiwan! The third Language, Russian, has come a long way since she made her mind half a year before stepping on the exotic land three years ago! Let us hear how the story began and has been written~ Introduction by Sanli: 1.Quote from –Seth Your beliefs form reality. Your individual beliefs and your joint beliefs. Now the intensity of a belief is extremely important... There is little difference if you believe that your present life is caused by incidents in your early infancy or by past lives over which equally you feel you have no control. Your events, your lives, your experiences, are caused by your present beliefs. Change the beliefs and your life changes.” 2.No one person is the same. Therefore, when learning the language, everyone will face varying degrees of difficulty. I want to share my story of triumphs and tribulations that can help future you make better decisions whether Russian is a good fit.

Under the guidance and group discussion led by Ellen, we proceeded Q & A first for perplexing sentences there and then acquired the answers for the guided questions. Due to time constraint, Blissers strived for accomplishing the tasks and felt satisfied with such team achievement while were evoked with self-challenge for more time preparation prior to the future meetings. Three selections are summarized as follows: Selection 1: Why Trump wins over the Loyal Backers: Evangelical Protestants & Prosperity Gospel Believers? Trump spoke to their heart: He is daring, straightforward, decisive, interest-centered, self-made man presumably with the Supreme help from God coined as “Man of God.” Selection 5: A Tsar is born Through local repression and asserting Russian global strength strategically, Putin was claimed with superpower as the Tsar did. Unparalleled as Putin might be, Russia eventually will suffer the fierce fight for Putin’s successor as October Revolution in 1917 against last Tsar, Nicholas II. Selection 9: Are Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin(BTC) Bubbles or not? People create the decentered economy such as crytocurrencies like Bitcoin via the algorithm-computing fluctuated value exchange for more profits. As Crytocurrencies own the exclusive features of anonymous buyers, file encryptions and limited supply, more and more people joined the stage wagon by which CMC and BTC emerged in the real world. Reflections: The three selections really reflected the current global attention and answer how and why the hidden mindsets set foot in. We appreciate the host, Ellen’s efforts and participants’ inputs very much. The team discussion clarified our blurry understanding as to enhance our Reading Comprehension, the basic of all the other English skills. Undeniably, Ellen’s “The Economist” Reading Forum always ranks high among the best! Hopefully, we ignite more “The Economist” lovers joining the Forum in the coming future! -- Bliss English Club for Communication & Conducting Skills since 1997 Facebook: https://goo.gl/piKrs5 https://goo.gl/gqkyfc Picasa: https://goo.gl/dN6YiN Blog: https://goo.gl/QiA2PX Bliss 2018 Calendar: 2:30~5:30 pm every Saturday No meeting date: 2/10, 2/17, 3/31, 4/7, 5/5, 5/12, 6/9, 6/16, 7/14, 8/4, 9/1, 9/22, 10/20, 12/1~12/31 Outing: 3/10 (Q1), 6/30 (Q2), 10/13 (Q3)，Year-End-Party (YEP): 12/15 Meeting Place:东丰喜艺文空间, 师大路68巷13号 TOHOHI Arts Corner at No. 13, Lane 68, Shih-ta Road, Taipei, charged at NT$150/person with a cup of drink either coffee or tea. http://i.imgur.com/9QjXrS2.png --
