Ivan Prince

Ivan was the second prince in Toby planet and he was considerate, gentle and filial. Edison was the first prince who would succeed to the throne. But because more and more people supported the second prince, they suggested the king let the second prince, Ivan, have a chance to contend for the throne with the first prince, Edison. And the king accepted the idea gladly. Humble Ivan didn’t want to contend for the throne and he just wanted to have an ordinary life. But everyone knew that Edison was greedy, lustful and rude, and just as the first prince, he would have the power to succeed. Consequently, for the happiness of the Toby planet, Ivan decided to take the challenge to strive for the throne with Edison.

 

For the competition, the king consulted the queen’s magic mirror that where and what to contest. After thinking carefully, the magic mirror said: ”There is an appropriate place for the contest. In the place, the winner will get full of love and respect. On the contrary, the loser will become very poor and spruned by everyone. It is dangerous but interesting. All consequences are determined by whether they can stick to their morals or not. ”After the king listened to it, he felt satisfied and then appointed two spaceships to send the two princes to the place called “Earth.”

 

Before Edison and Ivan reached the Earth, they chose the place where the Statue of Liberty was located as their destination. When they landed safely, they used a lighting device, which can make everything magnified or diminished, to shrink the two spaceships into two small baseballs. And then, they started to take action separately.

 

The king had prepared sufficient money and a dwelling for Edison and Ivan. And they had half a year to compete. After six months, the king would check their accomplishments, including money, position, interpersonal relation and so on. Actually, they didn’t know clearly about these things but they just knew that they had to make a lot of money, have a high position in society and have good connections with people.

 

Crafty Edison set up a lot of connections quickly and he heard a place where he could turn 50 dollars into 100 dollars and 100 dollars into 1000. That was a gambling house. At first, he indulged in the beauties and wine. He really enjoyed it and had a good time. But when he indulged in gambling and made many bad friends. He was penniless. Worst of all, he borrowed money from a juice dealer and then took the money to gamble again. Finally, he lost all the money and he was dunned by loan collectors. From then on, he had a miserable life.

 

On the other hand, Gentle Ivan tried hard to find a job. Although he had had a great life as a prince, he got used to the new life on Earth gradually and accumulated fortune step by step. Besides, Ivan knew a pretty woman, Olivia. She was a nice person and she really matched him. They fell in love with each other. Everybody envied this perfect couple very much. If Ivan would be the king, Olivia must be a good wife and helper as a queen.

 

Ivan usually watched TV news and he found that many people were very poor and needed help. He felt very sorry for them. So, he spent a lot of money buying food for the poor or contributed most of his savings to those in need directly. When Edison heard the news, he became very perverse and he began to hate Ivan. He thought that Ivan might win the contest. As a result, he decided to frame up Ivan.  Cunning Edison disguised himself as a poor man and approached Ivan. Ivan failed to recognize Edison, so he gave a lot of money to Edison. In the end, Edison cheated Ivan of his money. Despite the end date of the contest approaching, Ivan still worked hard conscientiously. Although he had little money, he didn’t regret about what he had done. Ivan’s boss admired Ivan for his attitude and behavior. Furthermore, Ivan was diligent and efficient at his work. Thus, he was promoted as a manager quickly.

 

Getting a lot of money from Ivan didn’t satisfy Edison. When he heard Ivan was promoted, he went to spread a rumor that Ivan conducted insider trading. But the rumor turned out to be false soon. It made Edison get angrier. He decided to alienate Olivia from Ivan and then he told Olivia that Ivan hid many secrets from her. Olivia believed Ivan firmly at first. But after observing his behavior for several days, she found there were something strange. He sometimes made a phone call in a toilet and he didn’t tell her whom he called and what he talked about when she asked him. Furthermore, he usually went out at night and no one knew what he did and where he went. Because of these strange acts, Olivia suspected that Ivan had another girlfriend. Thus, Olivia fought with Ivan and even wanted to break up with him. But Ivan really loved Olivia very much. After thinking twice, he decided to tell her the truth.

 

On that night, Ivan drove car with Olivia to a remote suburb. When they arrived, Ivan took a lighting device out from the car boot and put his magical baseball on the grassland. When he turned on the lighting device, the baseball was magnified into a huge spaceship. And then, he told Olivia that he was an alien and that he came from the Toby planet and explained why he came to the Earth. When Olivia knew the truth, she was stunned. After a while, she began worrying about their future. But Ivan’s sincerity touched Olivia, so she decided to accompany him even if she had to follow him to the Toby planet.

 

Finally, the deadline came. Although Ivan didn’t make a lot of money, he became a good, respected manager and he also found his true love. And then because of his generosity and kindness, he won full of admiration and approval. On the contrary, cunning Edison didn’t know that all of his acts had been observed and broadcasted 24hr by the Toby planet. His abominable acts were spurned by every Toby people and they didn’t allow Edison to come back to Toby. They wanted Edison to take all consequences by himself, including dunned by loan collectors. In the end, Ivan and Olivia became the king and the queen of the Toby planet , and lived a wonderful life. From then on, the Toby planet became even more prosperous and the people lived happily and peacefully.

Description of a good leader

“Life without a goal is like sailing on the sea without a destination.” And the leadership is ability to motivate a group of people toward a common goal. Having a leader whom we believe in gives us direction, stability, and the chance for fulfillment. So a good leader plays an important role.

In my mind, I think a good leader should display sincerity and candor in all their actions. Because of deceptive behavior will not inspire trust. To be a leader must be believed by all common people.

 Even if leaders face difficulties, they must have the perseverance to go on, and never give up easily. In fact, being a leader is a noble job which requires dedication. Nevertheless there are so many challenge, you must face them, and solve them with your wise and courage. 

Look before you leap. Always think about carefully before taking action lest you should do sometimes wrong. With its very important, careful thought, you would not make impulsive mistakes, because everything you do influenced all common people.

Most importantly, from patience and hard work will come a greater chance of success. Sometimes, we may begin to do things with great enthusiasm. But end up discouraged. Therefore, you should determine to be more patient. Finally, I believe you will be a good leader.

 

 

The Best Movie I’ve Ever Seen

    The bucket List is a story about two ill men escape from a cancer ward. After sharing a hospital room together for a while, they decide to leave it and do all the things they have ever wanted to do before they die. In the process,they become good friends, and find the joy and the true meaning in their lives.

     I appreciate this film because it’s filled with hope. They made a list to arrange their trip. In this way, they can control the way the precious time passes, and try to make the most of it. And they always have an optimistic attitude toward their lives. Also, it’s inspiring and delightful. “You don’t get to choose how you’re going to die, Or when, you can only decide how you’re going to live, now.” Joan Baez said. This film makes me think about this celebrated phrase, and I think I should seize my everyday.
