Matt Cutts: Try something new for 30 days

              Matt got inspired by a person and  he said why i don't be like him. so he did his "try something new for 30 days". some of the examples he mentioned if you want to try something new like riding a bike to work, 10000 steps a day, take a picture everyday and write a novel. Or not doing something you used to do everyday like no TV, no sugar, no Twitter or no caffeine.

              He tried to write a novel of 50000 words in a month and he managed to do it, he said that you can write 1600 words a day and u will do it, but you will get lack of sleep. but at the end, you will be a novelist. As well as a picture everyday, he said that he is not an adventurer person, finally he found himself taking a picture in the highest mount in Africa.

             What he tried to say is that you have to change the routines of your daily life. you can do a lot of interesting things like we mentioned above, challenge yourself, be an adventurer person. Maybe you will find out that you have a hidden talent that you didn't know about.

Blog#4: A Journey to Alaska

       One day, a family had a vacation. it was in the spring, so they decided to go to a place where they can find great nature so they can relax and take pictures. They discussed where they wanted to go, the father said lets go to New York, while the mother wanted to go to New Orleans, and so on. After all the discussion, they decided to go to Alaska to enjoy the nature there and play in the snow.

       The Family went there and found a good hotel and booked it. The day after that, they went to the top of one of the mountains there where they found a great view of the mountains and volcanoes, so they took a lot of amazing pictures. They couldn't see the city from the top of the mountain because the clouds were covering it.

       Finally, they asked the information center there about some snow places so they can play with snow. They guided them to a place which was 2 hours far from the hotel, so they rented a small bus to fit them all comfortably. When they reached the place they found that it was a flat area covered with snow and there was a lot of  animals there. The family took a lot of pictures of the bears and penguins there. In the end, they went back home and had a lot of fun in Alaska! :)

response#3:Confession

     When i was in high school, 11th grade as i remember, me and my friend once jumped from the window of the class  in the middle of the class while the teacher was writing on the board. The teacher saw us just when we got out of the class and kept shouting on us, while we were running towards the stairs to go out of the school.
  
     we managed to reach the school door, when we was like 3 steps away from the door, a teacher caught us and took us to the school manager. The manager kept shouting on us and told us if you didn't bring your father tomorrow you will be kicked out of the school. Tomorrow, i went to school late and he just forgot about us and nothing happened. :)

Responding to Proverbs

       As far as I understood the proverb "Rome wasn't built in a day". It is told to someone who is complaining about wanting to achieve something but don't want to work hard; for example, someone who wants to be a pilot and complaining about the study being hard so you tell him,"keep going, Rome wasn't built in a day"

       The proverb "Skillful sailors aren't made by smooth seas" also have a similar meaning to the proverb "Rome wasn't built in a day". They are both used to describe an achievement that is achieved by hard work.
