  1. Haste does not bring success The time you spend to being careful and organized will be paid by effectiveness. don't know if i can help, since i guess we are from the same country and are bothered by the same kind of trouble. : p
  2. Your expression is very good~ but as Inisha has mentioned, something needs to be revised.
  3. Hi Erin~ I am so gonna following ur suggestion btw, ur avatar is cool : P
  4. :rolleyes: First time here, appreciate any commonts :p I would agree with the statement above if it had the word “hero” replaced by “perfect person”. It is true that intensive media scrutiny diminished the reputation of some people who are used to be honored as heroes and thus it seems hero only exist when media keeps a distant from them. But I have to admit that I still believe in heroes because I have seen them with my own eyes despite the media scrutiny. We have experienced and are still experiencing a time when intensive media cover every corner of the world and especially have those celebrities under an all-round monitoring. Scandals about those formerly honored people keep being exposed to us. Famous universities enroll students illegally under the counter, clean and honest officer turned out to be a big devourer of local fisc, be loved anchor hooked up then desert another lady behind his wife’s back, there are too many cases of media diminishing heroes than I can enumerate. We can see the irony since it is the media that inform us of their glorious doings to make them our heroes and it is still the media that expose the dark and filthy side then ended those hero stories. Media scrutiny becomes so “penetrating” that we sometimes when a new hero is invited to the public, we even begin to expect his or her hitting off by the media as his numerous antecedents. However, before we turn our back and abjure our belief in heroes, we need think twice about it. Does the diminishing of heroes happen because under the close scan of media, they changed the way they used to be and eventually became despicable? Indeed, some of the former heroes and heroin don’t deserve the glory and respect they used to receive, what the media has done is discovering the untold stories and exposing them to the public who were once cheated. But it is not the case to anyone who is subjected to media scrutiny. Genius football player changed his girlfriend again, successful manager of a big enterprise divorced for neglecting his or her family members, excellent teacher failed to make a good young man out of his son, by invading into their personally life, media does prove those heroes are human beings as we ordinary ones rather than nullify their reputation of being a transcendental player, outstanding manager or competent teacher. If the society disbelieves it and denies their quality for being heroes, it is its mistranslation of hero into perfection to blame. Meanwhile, there is more reason for me to believe in heroes for I have being witnessing the existence of heroes and heroin all the time. They can be leaders and reformers of my country whose actions precipitated the development of the whole country with the sacrifice of certain part of the people, or those special policemen fighting against the drug dealers in the border while leaving their wives and kids all alone. Hero does not have to be omnipotent and perfect. So, no matter how intensive the media scrutiny can be, the society can find true hero and distinguish those fake ones as long as the society interpret the meaning of hero in the right way.
