The Three-Storke Traditional Chinese Character Meaning Up

Published on: June 08, 2023 | Category: Creative writing | Author: mm8787v5 | Likes: 0| Views: 125

Last time we went through the Traditional Chinese character, 土, which means soil as a noun and old-fashioned as an adjective.

I will go through another simple three-stroke Traditional Chinese character, 上, which means up this time.

First stroke

It starts with a simple vertical stroke. Just write from top to bottom.

The first stroke of the Traditional Chinese character meaning up
First Storke of “Up” 

Second stroke

The second stroke is a horizontal stroke following the first vertical stroke. It is a relatively short horizontal stroke. Remember the writing rule? The vertical stroke needs to come first.

The second stroke of the Traditional Chinese character meaning up
Second stroke of “Up”

Third stroke

The third stroke is a straightforward horizontal stroke again from left to right. But it is a horizontal stroke of normal length.

The last stroke of the Traditional Chinese character meaning up
Final stroke of “Up”

Here is the Traditional Chinese character, 上.

So, it is done for the time being. Keep practicing before the next post comes soon. Enjoy learning.

Thanks for reading.

Africa

Published on: May 27, 2023 | Category: Poetry | Author: Glow_forChrist🌹 | Likes: 2| Views: 129

I am AFRICA.

Africa is a continent of pride,

agriculture, culture and tide.

A continent of greed as a nature.

Selfishness, we nurture. 


We are BLACKS.

They think we wear masks.

We are with a unique colour.

Created by God in our own favour.


We were called "Black Monkeys."

Weird, hilarious and ugly.

Taken in captivity, 

Yet known for our creativity.


We have our own accent:

"AFRRIKAA." We do not fret.

Famous and peculiar,

Ubiquitous, we are.


Though, we seek power and authority.

In tyranny, we rule.

Mindless of the popularity,

We are used as a tool.

The Four-stroke Traditional Chinese Character Meaning the Best

Published on: May 02, 2023 | Category: Creative writing | Author: mm8787v5 | Likes: 0| Views: 153

Last time we went through the Traditional Chinese character meaning “inch” as a measurement unit.

This time we are going to look at a slightly more complex four-stroke character.  There are no new type of stroke but more stroke to form the character.

It is the Traditional Chinese character, , which means a king or implies the best one in a certain area.

First stroke

Again, it starts with a simple horizontal stroke.  Just write from left to right.   

Second stroke

The second stroke is essentially another horizontal stroke.  It then again becomes the character, , meaning the number two.

Third stroke

The third stroke is a straightforward vertical stroke from top to bottom.  Now it looks like what is in the image below. 

Fourth stroke

The fourth stroke is the very simple horizontal stroke.  This one needs to be slightly longer than the two above it to look nice. 

The three horizontal strokes can be about the same length.  But it just looks nicer from a calligraphy perspective to have the bottom one a bit longer then the other two. 

So, here is the Traditional Chinese character,

It is done for the time being.  Keep practicing before the next post comes soon.  Enjoy.

Learn from criticism

Published on: April 25, 2023 | Category: Content writing | Author: Glow_forChrist🌹 | Likes: 2| Views: 135

While receiving constructive criticism is never pleasant, it helps us improve. Just as it takes courage to ignore criticism, it also requires courage to pay attention to it. It is crucial to be able to tell the difference between constructive criticism and criticism motivated by jealousy. Successful people possess this talent. Understanding the critic's motivations is a skill in and of itself. Self-knowledge is the other component—possibly the biggest component. The successful person is aware of themselves well enough to recognize whether a criticism is legitimate. 

Nobody dislikes criticism more than successful people, in my experience. 


However, they remain composed and in control and pay close attention when they believe the critique to be valid. They request ideas for how to get better. In reality, successful people frequently request feedback from others they respect. "How am I doing?" they enquire. "How can I get better?"
