Developed a habit of running.

Recently, I have developed a habit of running.
After the whole day's lessons, leaving everything in the dorm, wearing a pair of sneakers, putting on earphones, keeping broadcasting a single song, I will begin to run. I may go to the playground and run along the runway. Sometimes I may just run around the school from one side to the other. Beside this, both running with a partner and running on my own are my choices. When someone accompanies me during the process, I will feel at ease. And when running alone, I will have time to think about some questions that I won't deliberate in the other time.
Nowadays, running is considered to be a method to lose weight. In some aspects, it is right.Nevertheless, we should keep in mind that over 30 minutes' aerobic exercise can help you burn up the fat. In other words, you need to run at least 30 minutes in order to reduce weight. It's not easy to do that, is it?
From where I stand, running is a style of life instead of an approach. Through running, I can not only reduce the fatigue, but also feel more relaxed. That's why I like running.

Allow For Unforeseen Circumstances

In the northern part of Korean, there are plenty of persimmon plantations on the countryside road. When it is the harvest time for persimmons in the golden autumn, so every so often the local farmer would leave some ripe persimmons on the tree. They said that it is the food offers for magpies.

When visitors passed through this place, they felt strange and unbelievable. Then, the tour guide would tell them a story: It is a habitat for magpies, at each winter magpies would build their homes on the tree for spending their winter. One year, the weather was not only especially chilly but also snowed heavily. There were hundreds of magpies died of starvation within a night. In the next year, there was a kind of unknown insect which overrun, it caused no harvest in that autumn at all. Only at that time people thought of the magpies. If there had magpies, the insect disaster certainly avoided. From then on, people leaves some ripe persimmons on the tree in every golden autumn so that magpies have food to spend their winter.

We have to leave an appropriate margin for unforeseen circumstances. It would be our hope and opportunity someday.
