High and Lifted Up

High and Lifted Up It was a windy day.      The mailman barely made it to the front door. When the door opened, Mrs. Pennington said, "hello", but, before she had a real chance to say "thank you", the mail blew out of the mailman's hands, into the house and the front door slammed in his face. Mrs. Pennington ran to pick up the mail.      "Oh my," she said.      Tommy was watching the shutters open and then shut, open and then shut.      "Mom," he said, "may I go outside?"      "Be careful," she said. "It's so windy today."      Tommy crawled down from the window-seat and ran to the door. He opened it with a bang. The wind blew fiercely and snatched the newly recovered mail from Mrs. Pennington's hands and blew it even further into the house.      "Oh my," she said again. Tommy ran outside and the door slammed shut.      Outside, yellow, gold, and red leaves were leaping from swaying trees, landing on the roof, jumping off the roof, and then chasing one another down the street in tiny whirlwinds of merriment.      Tommy watched in fascination.      "If I was a leaf, I would fly clear across the world," Tommy thought and then ran out into the yard among the swirl of colors.      Mrs. Pennington came to the front porch.      "Tommy, I have your jacket. Please put it on."      However, there was no Tommy in the front yard.      "Tommy?"      Tommy was a leaf. He was blowing down the street with the rest of his play-mates.      A maple leaf came close-by, touched him and moved ahead. Tommy met him shortly, brushed against him, and moved further ahead. They swirled around and around, hit cars and poles, flew up into the air and then down again.      "This is fun," Tommy thought.      The maple leaf blew in front of him. It was bright red with well-defined veins. The sun-light shone through it giving it a brilliance never before seen by a little boy's eyes.      "Where do you think we are going?" Tommy asked the leaf.      "Does it matter?" the leaf replied. "Have fun. Life is short."      "I beg to differ," an older leaf said suddenly coming beside them. "The journey may be short, but the end is the beginning."      Tommy pondered this the best a leaf could ponder.      "Where do we end up?"      "If the wind blows you in that direction," the old leaf said, "you will end up in the city dump."      "I don't want that," Tommy said.      "If you are blown in that direction, you will fly high into the air and see things that no leaf has seen before."      "Follow me to the city dump," the maple leaf said. "Most of my friends are there."      The wind blew Tommy and the maple leaf along. Tommy thought of his choices. He wanted to continue to play.      "Okay," Tommy said, "I will go with you to the dump."      The winds shifted and Tommy and the leaf were blown in the direction of the city dump.      The old leaf didn't follow. He was blown further down the block and suddenly lifted up high into the air.      "Hey," he called out, "the sights up here. They are spectacular. Come and see."      Tommy and the maple leaf ignored him.      "I see something. I see the dump." The old leaf cried out. "I see smoke. Come up here. I see fire."      "I see nothing," the maple leaf said.      Tommy saw the fence that surrounded the city dump. He was happy to be with his friend. They would have fun in the dump.      Suddenly, a car pulled up. It was Tommy's mom. Mrs. Pennington wasn't about to let her little boy run into the city dump.      "Not so fast," she said getting out of the car. "You are not allowed to play in there. Don't you see the smoke?"      Tommy watched the maple leaf blow against the wall and struggle to get over. He ran over to get it but was unable to reach it.      Mrs. Pennington walked over and took the leaf. She put it in her pocket.      "There," she said, "it will be safe until we get home."      Tommy smiled, ran to the car and got in. He rolled down the back window and looked up into the sky. He wondered where the old leaf had gone. Perhaps one day he would see what the old leaf had seen - perhaps.

I think the strength that i have is determination and in doing something that I like, something that can be a works, tasks, or games. Especially if I have a responsibility for that, I will do my best to finish it.

The weakness that i have is my ambition to get things done with my way and should be the same with what I want. Many people can't do what I want, so I take away the things that should be done by other that makes me tired and sometimes the work not finished because too many things that I have to do.

My ability is able to make the system that makes a work is completed as expected, I can also see the negative things in an event that i organized and find the best solution to solve. I also can make a good decision precisely.

I have a dream to become a large-scale businessman. I think my ability will help me to achieve that. Although my weakness can make me failed but because I am aware of my weakness, I can handle it and try hard to achieve it.

All people are born with ability and weakness, all people have the ability but not all people have the ability to know what theirs ability and weakness.

Cheetah

Cheetah

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus).

The cheetah can run faster than any other land animal— as fast as 112 to 120 km/h (70 to 75 mph) in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m (1,600 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in three seconds.

Cheetah lived in most of Africa and parts of the Middle East. It is the only extant member of the genus Acinonyx.

Descript

The cheetah's chest is deep and its waist is narrow. The coarse, short fur of the cheetah is tan with round black spots measuring from 2 to 3 cm (0.79 to 1.2 in) across. The tail usually ends in a bushy white tuft. The cheetah has a small head with high-set eyes.Its thin and fragile body make it well-suited to short bursts of high speed, but not to long-distance running.

Body

The adult cheetah weighs from 21 to 72 kg. Its total head-and-body length is from 110 to 150 cm, while the tail can measure 60 to 84 cm in length. Males tend to be slightly larger than females and have slightly bigger heads, but there is not a great variation in cheetah sizes and it is difficult to tell males and females apart by appearance alone. Compared to a similarly sized leopard, the cheetah is generally shorter-bodied, but is longer tailed and taller.
