There once was a wealthy merchant who gained a life of riches through risk-taking, inquiry and wisdom. Though a successful individual, he never exuded arrogance, rather, he enjoyed giving opportunities to the people around him. After years of trials, failures, and successes, the merchant decided to put his business aside and travel the world to [...]
Another amazing email I received – ENJOY!_______________________________________________________________________________ This is a powerful message in our modern society. We seemed to have lost our bearings & our sense of direction. One young, academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. He passed the first interview. The director who did the [...]
Something I forgot to mention in my previous In-depth blogs. For driving, I am enrolled in a Graduation Licensing Program at ICBC. The difference between this program and regular driving practices with parents or an adult is that the course is approved by ICBC, which includes 16 hours of in-class instruction regarding road safety and driving techniques, [...]
In exactly 20 days, we will all be presenting our skills learned over the 5 months to the public. It’s not that I’ve never noticed this before, but time is zipping by quickly. In a little less than two months, my grade 10 year is coming to an end. Talons is coming to an end. [...]

Major changes in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, transportation and technology had a profound effect on the socioeconomic and cultural conditions of the [...]
Over spring break, I was able to practice more on driving. In my first lesson, my mentor showed me the functions of each button/control before we actually began driving. It is important to adjust the rear-view mirror and seat before starting the car; hands should be placed on the steering wheel at 10 o’clock and 2 [...]
Guess what? I got my “L“! WOOHOO! So a little on my experience of taking the knowledge test: After much waiting, here came my big day – March 2, 2012. The Knowledge Test was supposed to be taken 2 weeks ago on my birthday, however, I caught a cold and my body was off, so [...]
“Stretch your limits once in a while. You may find you have more range than you thought.” Since I still haven’t done my knowledge test yet, all I am capable of is preparing myself for it. Besides studying the traffic rules and learning the ways of the road, I have been speaking with some new [...]
