One is so little
Two is just one more
Three is more than two
Four is not enough
Five i can count my finger
Six is minimum
Seven my needs just met
Eight i want more than that
Nine one more to meet ten
Ten i need more of this
So when will it stop?
A hundred? Thousands or millions?

Idiom : Descriptive essay: A blessing in disguise
I hated everything about myself. I wasn't happy about what i have and my life. I even blame god because i think it isn't fair. Every time problem hit me i will breakdown and start to cry and then the blaming will follow up. At last, it will only make me hate this life more. Again and again the disappointment i went through replay in my head, making me feel miserable. This continue until something astound happened in my life.
One rainy morning, as usual i went out for work. On the way there, my car broke down all of a sudden. I was shocked but fortunately no accident happened. After returning to my senses, i hop off the car and gave a called to the mechanic. Since it was raining they will arrived later than usual, so i decided to take a stroll at the side passage way. While leisurely walking down the passage i suddenly trip and fall to the ground because it was slippery. I briskly pull myself up before more embarrassment happen to me. I continued to walk until i felt my stomach rumble so i went to the nearby coffee shop for some snack. After 15 minutes of waiting my snack arrived, then i reached out for my purse and found no cash in it. So i told the shop keeper to wait and ran swiftly to the nearby bank to withdraw. Then again i went back to the coffee shop and found out that my snack was gone because the owner thought i'm not gonna come back. Feeling frustrated i left the shop hungry and angrily.
I was so disappointed and frustrated that i shouted : " why me? why must i be made fun of? what's wrong with all of you!" and cried. Then the thunder roar louder as if God was angry of me. The rain pour down heavier leaving me no choice but to find a place to wait. As i was waiting, my mind slowly stroll down the memory lane to when my grandmother was still here with me. She used to say:" life is not all sunshine and rainbow there are gloomy days too but if you look at it in a positive light, you will find that you are lucky because you are still breathing." After saying this she will smile warmly and i will stop complaining. My senses came back when a lightning flash pass through. The rain had slowed down and my car was fixed so i went back home.
I turned on the television and the news reported there was a building that had been strike by the lightning causing a few injured. I listened closely to the name of that building only to find out that it is my company's building. That moment, i knew that this whole experience is a blessing in disguise. If my car did not breakdown i would probably be the victim of this tragedy. After these experienced, i learned to love my life again and felt happy that i'm still alive.

Hypocrite
Who are you to judge?
When you did the same
Who are you to compare?
When you can't achieve
Prejudice is how you see
complaining is how you speak
excuses is all you need
but no good deeds were completed
Telling others to change
is what you do
but not looking into mirrors
that reflect you
Hundreds of why we are hypocrite
because we act like one
condemning on them
is what makes us the same
When you did the same
Who are you to compare?
When you can't achieve
Prejudice is how you see
complaining is how you speak
excuses is all you need
but no good deeds were completed
Telling others to change
is what you do
but not looking into mirrors
that reflect you
Hundreds of why we are hypocrite
because we act like one
condemning on them
is what makes us the same
quote for medicine
" What can't be cured must be endured" by: Robert Burton
I choose this quote because it teaches me to be strong in whatever i faced.What hardship we faced, or something that is impossible to achieve don't just breakdown but be stronger than the problem and overcome it. If there is a problem there will be solution because problems are created to solve.

renowned practical joker. he was called " father of modern
medicine" and was one of the "big four" founding professors of John
Hopkins Hospital as the first Professor of Medicine and founder of the
medical service there. Osler created the first residency program for
training physician and he was the first to bring medical student lecture
out for bedside clinical training.

Osler was created a baronet in the Coronation Honours List of 1911 for his many contributions to the field of medicine.
One of his greatest contribution in medicine field was insisting that student learned from observing and talking to patient and the establishment of medical residency. Osler's favourite saying was : "He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all." His best-known saying was "Listen to your patient, he is telling you the diagnosis," which emphasizes on the importance of taking a good history. At the age of 70 in the year 1919, Sir William Osler died during the Spanish influenza epidemic, while his wife Grace lived on for another 9 years but she failed to resist a series of stroke. They had two sons, one which died shortly after birth, the other named Edward Revere Osler was mortally wounded in combat in world wall I at the age of 21 and this caused Dr. Osler to be crushed emotionally by the loss. The moral value that i had learned for Sir William Osler is learning is a life long process..

Traditional poetry VS Modern poetry
traditional poetry
Traditional poem is more strict in its form and there are formal elements the poet follow. Sonnet is one of the example of traditional poem use since the 13th century, it is a poem of 14 lines with a set of rhyme scheme.
example of traditional poetry:
Advice to a Girl by Sara Teasdale
No one worth possessing
Can be quite possessed;
Lay that on your heart,
My young angry dear;
This truth, this hard and precious stone,
Lay it on your hot cheek,
Let it hide your tear.
Hold it like a crystal
When you are alone
And gaze in the depths of the icy stone.
Long, look long and you will be blessed:
No one worth possessing
Can be quite possessed.
Traditional poem is more strict in its form and there are formal elements the poet follow. Sonnet is one of the example of traditional poem use since the 13th century, it is a poem of 14 lines with a set of rhyme scheme.
example of traditional poetry:
Ye ladies, walking past me piteous-eyed,
Who is the lady that lies prostrate here?
Can this be even she my heart holds dear?
Nay, if it be so, speak, and nothing hide.
Her very aspect seems itself beside,
And all her features of such altered cheer
That to my thinking they do not appear
Hers who makes others seem beatified.
‘If thou forget to know our lady thus,
Whom grief o'ercomes, we wonder in no wise,
For also the same thing befalleth us,
Yet if thou watch the movement of her eyes,
Of her thou shalt be straightaway conscious.
O weep no more; thou art all wan with sighs.
Modern
Modern poem is more free and a broader themes and subject matters. Feminism is another very important aspect of Modernism. For example: Advice to a Girl by Sara Teasdale
No one worth possessing
Can be quite possessed;
Lay that on your heart,
My young angry dear;
This truth, this hard and precious stone,
Lay it on your hot cheek,
Let it hide your tear.
Hold it like a crystal
When you are alone
And gaze in the depths of the icy stone.
Long, look long and you will be blessed:
No one worth possessing
Can be quite possessed.

Human
you promise to give
but you fail to provide
you vow to do
but you did not achieve
you ask for trust
but you break it all
you ask for forgiveness
but replay the scenes
gossiping is your crown
deceiving is your clothes
betraying is your robe
wearing it all is what makes you king
don't blame others
If your luck walks away
because what you sow
Is what you reap
do not avenge on them
if they do you wrong
because what goes around
comes around
