"The difference between a good administrator and a bad one is about five heartbeats. Good administrators make immediate choices."

"Acceptable choices?"

"They usually can be made to work. A bad administrator, on the other hand, hesitates, diddles around, asks for committees, for research and reports. Eventually, he acts in ways which create serious problems."

"But don't they sometimes need more information to make. . .

"A bad administrator is more concerned with reports than with decisions. He wants the hard record which he can display as an excuse for his errors."

"And good administrators?"

"Oh, they depend on verbal orders. They never lie about what they've done if their verbal orders cause problems, and they surround themselves with people able to act wisely on the basis of verbal orders. Often, the most important piece of information is that something has gone wrong. Bad administrators hide their mistakes until it's too late to make corrections."

There is a fine line between consideration and hesitation. The former is wisdom, the latter is fear

Please! correct it

Last year, one of my two pet chinchillas died. Its name is Furry. I feel very sad about this. At noon, I buried him in a small garden near us and inserted some flowers I picked in the morning next to the small tomb. I cried all day. My father said I shouldn't be so sad. He thinks I should cheer up. So he told me, "you're so lucky. Many children don't have pets! At least you have Berry!" When I realized that I had another chinchilla (her name was Berry), I became calm and soon I was happy again.

• When you talk about pets, you have to use "his", "her" instead of "it" (his/her name is Fury).
• Take notice of verb forms when you write a story in a past, for example: " i felt very sad" not "i feel very sad, "He thought" not "he thinks".

Let me talk about my friend's story

There is a man.. When we first met, I have a very bad impression of him. I even think that he is the worst man that I ever met. He immatures, selfish, conservative, rude, recalcitrant...
But after the first time we met, he patiently continues texting me every day, asking me to go for coffee, keeping texting from his side despite I usually ignore or refuse him. He woke me up in the early morning and shared with me lots of things. He gives me some advice on my work and facilitates a great opportunity for my career development (he said that I'm a potential worker also). At that time, after all, I think that he just wants to conquer me because I'm kind of a "difficult" girl and also a potential but stubborn employee.
And day by day, he makes me feel that his characteristics are the opposite compared to what I thought at the beginning. That means mature, thoughtful, open-mind, hard-working, and courageous...

Gradually, once we have become closer, he didn't text me as much as before. Damn, I was quite confused and wondered because the man who texts me every morning suddenly stops this habit. Although I sometimes still caught his eyes staring at me in the office.

Hmm.. maybe it's because of me when I said we shouldn't be closer, or maybe we are all very busy these days, or maybe it's like my initial thought, he will leave once he can conquer me. Am I a game or a challenge? Is he interested in me cause I am a good girl or a good employee?

I wonder if first impressions of a person are often correct, and later impressions are intentional. What do u think?

Actually, for your initial question, the point depends on a particular context, such as appearances, mindset, job, assets...Which context do you want to refer to?
Thanks for your suggestion, but I think I shouldn't do that. This guy is currently at a high-level working position compared to me. He also has extreme ambition. One day, he wants to be CEO, CTO.. and even more than that. He often goes on business trips, and goes drinking every week... I know it's business or working purpose though. In return, he also pays attention to his health, and usually goes exercise.
He used to ask me what I thought about a man who was too focused on his career. So one day, when he has family, there may be some un-balanced times, which means he couldn't spend much time with the family. And at that time, his wife may have to take care of more housework, and children things,... My answer is that there is no girl like those above things. As a quote in The Godfather "A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man". What do you guys think btw?
Moreover, from my side, I think we should keep our distance. I still have a lot of things to do in my life. And love is not an important thing for me at this time =]]
