...Mo Yan: China’s reluctant Nobel laureate is a story written by Yuwen Wu about Guan Moye (known as Mo Yan). Mo Yan, born in February 1955, into a large peasant family, where he learned firsthand the pain of being hungry and lonely; and he used those experiences to write and became a Nobel Prize winner. A writer of both short and long stories and novels about the ordinary lives, culture and spirit in China, many people were certain he would be the winner. The day the winner was announced, the writer was hiding in his house to try and avoid the media. The media, local and foreign, found his house and camped outside ready to celebrate the winner. As Mo Yan explained to the media during a press conference, he was surprised but pleased he won. Mo Yan, ready to continue with research and writing, would hope the media would not stay long; however, being able to openly celebrate, his country wanted to continue celebrating his success. His win has led to many things: have a literature museum and school named after him, a statue built, plans for a tourist route, and stamps, t-shirts, spirit bottles and many other products made with his name and image on them. With the fame brought by winning the Nobel Prize, pressure and anxiety were present followed. Mo Yan is the second richest writer in China, but cannot decide if he is happy. He explains that he is under pressure and stress, so he is not sure how he can be happy, but having won the Nobel Prize, he cannot be unhappy. Having written...

...The story is about a girl who does'nt believe in herself. Her struggles, hopes, dreams, how she sees the world and how she found true love. Chapter I Dear Caleb Shane Sy , I am worried about my friends' health. I think that you're the one to blame because if it weren't for you and your "charisma" or whatever, they will not be feeling so low, and ugly. So I decided to borrow your number from one of my friends and buy a cheap sim so that I can send you this letter. Anyway best wishes... NOT. I hope that you will grow warts and other weird things on your face so that my friends will be cured of the "Caleb fever" they have been infected with. You'll probably never know me... ever because I'll probably rip the sim apart even before you can finish reading this. I'll even mail the remains of the sim to you if I had known your address but I don't so I'll just leave it infront of a public place then buy myself some celebratory ice cream. So good day to you.

...Desiderata by Max Ehrmann Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it...
