ARE GRADES REALLY IMPORTANT IN SCHOOL?

     Nowadays, students are expected to wake up before sunrise, get home just before the bedtime, and still be productive for homework, tests, or even studies. They do whatever they could to get the best grades and maintain everything in a good trend, in order to get pass or be accepted by a prestigious university. Is this the newest education system? Is this what they do to our next generations?
     "They are humans, not a high-performance robots", they said. Yes, this is what happens in recent years. We have to do admit that the populations are growing up for the last 20 years. Students are required to do their best in order to face this problem. The education systems are planting a grades-are-everything mindset to the students. They are usually afraid of dealing with parents' anger when the school report cards are given by the teacher.
     School lets their students's grades to decide their future while there is no soft skills such as attitudes, counseling, and character building programs are learnt at school. Math, Physics, Chemistry, Economic studies and Geography are needed for their future, but not for their success. How can they be success if they do not even know a thing about problem solving or how to interact to the people they bump into in their everyday life? Are these the parents' responsibility to build their children's character and educate about social life while students spend almost a whole day at school?
     In conclusion, I really do not agree if the students grades are the only things that matter. Moreover, why the students who are really passionate on music, have to learn Quantum Physics further? How can you be success if you have to pay full attention to Dynamic Fluids, Electrolysis, and the solving of Quadratics Equations all in one day? Someone has to show up with an idea to save the education systems in general, and our next generations in particular.

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT

It is no longer a secret that having a good body shape is everyone's goal. Not only intended for image and fashion, having a ripped body is also aimed to show people that he or she has a healthy lifestyle. Men or women, young or old, they have spent all they had, including time, to remove the excess fat in their body, especially in certain spots. Unfortunately, after struggling for several years, some people begin to give up. "It is just a dream", they said. They believe that getting a ripped body is very hard to obtain. Don't you know that these people sometimes do the wrong methods? They don't care about what they eat, forget about the training, or even ignore their sleep schedule. In spite of that, you may still achieve that weight loss goal if you follow these simple steps.

The first thing to do is just sit back and relax, not watching TV, but thinking about your plans and then making a commitment. You will make some plans that you have to stick with. Losing weight will take some time and effort and it will require you to make some sacrifices. So, it is very important for you to set your goals up and be ready to get started. 

In order to achieve your goals, you have to change your lifestyle into a  healthier one. Think about your diet. The calorie intake is one of the most important things to be considered. You have to know the foods that make this weight loss program easier.

Reducing the fat calorie intake is not enough. You are suggested to have an outdoor activities in order to burn the body fat and excess calories you consumed in. This part will determine your success but once again, be safe, because if you push yourself too far, you'll just put yourself in a new trouble.

Losing weight is challenging, so you may find it difficult within the process. Attention to your daily consumption, activities, workout, and regular sleep schedule is a deadly combination for your excess fat body and hopefully the result will be beyond your expectations.

JOKER (BATMAN MOVIES)

     Joker is the famous villain enemy of batman. He was first introduced in Batman #1 (1940) and has remained popular. He is a master of criminal with clown-like appearence. He is known as a killer who murders his victims for his own amusement.
     Specifically, I'm talking about the Joker who potrayed by Heath Ledger, the one who appeared in The Dark Knight, the second serie of the Batman's trilogy. In the movie, Joker was depicted as a maniac criminal who terrorizes Gotham City and whose goal is to put it into anarchy.
     No one knows who Joker really is. Some people think that he is a crazy Gotham City dweller who wants to get the people attention, the others thought that he was one of Gotham City Police Department (GCPD) officers who turned his life into crime. Anyway, Joker is a threat for community, especially the people of Gotham. He likes to kill people and rob a bank. For example, a group of bank robbers, under the direction of Joker, robbed Gotham National Bank which was used as a money laundering for Gotham gangs. Surprisingly, Joker killed the other group members until he was the only one remained. Finally, he escaped with the bank's cash in a yellow schoolbus, concealing his identity by driving within a convoy of other buses, and also leaving the manager at the mercy of an explosive grenade stucked in his mouth.
     Joker is my favorite villain character. He is a distinctive figure since he has a smile-like scar around his mouth (Glasgow Smile), and always act in a full-color suit. What makes him different with other villain is his style of terror. He is always mocking his enemies or even appearing with some unforgettable quotes. His most famous and everlasting quote is "Do I look like a man with a plan?".
     Heath Ledger, the actor who potrayed the Joker character won a posthumous Academy Award for best supporting actor.

Diverse Reactions From Other Characters

     Other characters usually come up with different opinions about the fictional character as a chosen one. These diverse reactions from them will determine their point of views. In "Harry Potter", there are some characters who think that Harry is not the chosen one. They always invite people to disbelieve the main character in order to make the others think the same way. By contrast, in "The  Lords Of The Ring", the other characters always welcome and help Frodo to achieve his goals. As conclusion, the other characters' reactions will also drive the story, as well as the main character's.
