This is an era of freedom, that is everyone has right to do anything without breaching the laws. However, when people try to do anything that they want, they should take few minutes to think about if the thing they will do will become other people's burden or not. If that will inroad other people's right, people should not do it. Therefore, no matter the government enacts the rule to limit smoking in public, people who smoke have to learn to respect others.
It is a hell for people who do not smoke to sit near smoking people. The smell of smoke is nasty, and the components of the smoke are harmful for human respiratory system. They will increase the rate to having lung cancer. Unfortunately, the rate is higher for people who do not smoke but inhale other's smoke than people who smoke. As a result, it is very unfair to let people smoke in public. Other people need clean space where there is fresh air to breath without worry of healthy danger.
In the other side, people who smoke also assert that the rule will abandon their right. They even propone the civil right in the Constitution to prove that they have to protect their smoking right. However, they forget the spirit of democracy and Constitution is based on a freedom avoid of breaching other people's right. Moreover, they still have right to smoke. For example, many restaurants have provides a smoking area for smoking people in which the air does not circulate to other area in the restaurants. With the isolated air condition, they can smoke and do not bother other people.
After all, before the government enacted the rule, people who don't smoke had to tolerate smoking people. Even although they hated the smoke of cigarette, they bore that smell because they showed their veneration of smoking people. Since the rule has enacted, the smoking people have to respect others. Moreover, for their and their children's health, if they could quit smoking, it is the best thing.

Wanted A Caterpillar!!
There is a bad news about my new friend, the caterpillar mentioned few days ago. When I went to the flowers this morning, I found it lost there. It disappeared there. I'm very sure, because I scrutinized every leaf of those flowers. However, there is no track about it. I feel terrible right now. I ever thought to record its life from a small caterpillar to a flying butterfly. All right, even it might not be a butterfly; I still want to watch this natural transformation.
According my imagination, there are two possible things happening on the caterpillar. First of all, it traveled to a remote place where the leaves are better for its appetite. Because the leave in the flowers where it was are old and shrivel, the leave might be too hard for it. The young bug might want delicate sprouts. This is a best way I prefer, in that it still lives.
On the contrary, the other way does not go as I hope. It might be the prey of birds. When I proceeded in the rescue operation, I heard the twitter from birds in the trees, which sounded like gloated laughs. Birds preying their food is a natural thing. Caterpillars always are listed in birds’ menu just after they hatched. Further, the small and sparse leave provide all but a safe shelter. There might be another reason why birds discovered the caterpillar. That is my observation which caught their acute eyes and revealed the position of the caterpillar. I have wondered the intelligence of a bird could help it discover my action relative to divulging something interesting to it.
After all, it has really gone away, I still went there to find any evidence of tracks it left. However, as I ever said it is not the time for this caterpillar to live in this season, and the nature really does it job to select the right one which deserves to survive.

Do Children Need Computer?
Children born in this technological society contact much information and face competition around the world. Although children in different ages have different needs, I think a computer probably is the best way for children to initially access the cyber world. Because a computer has various functions, including surfing internet, learning computer skills, and practicing typing, children can benefit from the computer, although it still has some drawbacks. However, the sum of advantages and disadvantages is positive.
In the bright side, children can learn computer languages, C, C++, Java, with computers. These languages play a significant role in their following life, especially if they prefer to devote in technology companies. Even though those do not work in tech companies, they will have high chance to use these skills to complete their assignments in schools. Moreover, the life around us is full of computers; as the result of this, it is better to let children familiar with the operation of a computer. When they play computer games, they facilitate the using of a computer unconsciously. Nothing can be compared with learning in playing.
However, the biggest drawback of a computer is that overly using computer causes people spend too much time on using computer. An obvious extreme example is children who play computer games too zealously stay up every night and finally feel illness. It is a general rule that when people do a thing too over, there is something wrong happening. If children can not control themselves, they could fail in school works.
After all, parents of children have the responsibility to watch their children and prevent them become addicted in computer. As long as children properly use computer, the problem will be solved. However, this needs adults' help, because most children have less self-continent in many things, not only using computers. Except of this problem, we still can not neglect the merits of a computer. In fact, I think there are many advantages of a computer when children use them in right attitude. Computers will help children grow and understand much knowledge.

A Wandering Caterpillar
Yestoday, I foud a small green caterpillar in front of my garage. I reconigned it as a caterpillar which eats a specific type of flower, because my grandmother ever grew that flower. When I sae it, I felt very surprised as the result of season, spring is not supposed to see this bug. There was a sound in my mind which told me to find somewhere to save it. Because it is a victim of grobal warming. Warm weather makes it hatch earily, and there is no much food, the leaves of flower. But I still found some flowers with few leaves, and then, I put it in a leaf. After that, I go to see the tiny bug everytime when I go outsides.
This morning, when I went to those flowers, I could not find anything like caterpillar resting in the leaves. I thought it might be eaten by some predators, like sparrows. However, before the sunset, I went there without any expectation, but I suddenly saw a green thing on the back of a leaf. That is the caterpillar. It must go someplace to resort and back the place I left it. What a funny caterpillar!

What Is The Value Of A Leader?
Team working is a efficient method to solve problems in any organization, for profit or nonprofit. In a team, there is a leader who targets the goal, supervises the working schedule, cares about teammates, and holds a party if the team could meet the goal. In order to facilitate the work in a team, the team leader must have qualified personalities, like charisma, vision, coordination between people, and of course, leadership.
On the other hand, the team members just follow their boss's commands to tilt the goal and do their own business. The risk of a team member is smaller than of the leader, because the responsibility of the success or fault is on the leader's shoulder. As the result, many people prefer to be one of the team members, not the leader. However, they forget the position is a opportunity to wield their power to present their ability; especially when the goal is difficult, the value of the people who are leaders easily glimmers and is saw by everyone. They could surge their position and wealth, after the teams they lead would succeed.
On the dark side, when the team fails to its goal, the payback is also considerable. Of course, as people could hold the most fruits after harvesting, they also might have to lose the most of their own when losing. The leader is always the target of critics after a failing. Moreover, even the team successfully completes its mission, the leader has put most of his effort to accomplish the job, maybe ten times more than sum of the other teammates. Considering the situation, the job of a leader is not as easy as other people admire.
What is the value of a leader? A leader can have a high position in a team; therefore the vision is far and clear, too. To be a member, people might understand their parts of tasks and have no idea what others do. A leader, opposite, has to oversea all the things during the working, not only the progress of schedule but members. If people are confident with their abilities, they must seize the chance to be a leader.
