Many people who start university, quit. At the beginning of the year there is tanding room only. By the end of the year, there is room to park a truck in the classroom! Most people who start a fitness program, quit. People who start savings plans, quit. People who set out to write books, quit. Most people are quitters. This is wonderful news for those of us who decide to be successful. It means that if we stick to what we are doing, certainly we can achieve what we want, being ahead of the multitudes. As the saying goes, "                                                                  "

Auguste Escoffier is a legendary French chef who made cooking trends of that time ①simple. He believed ②that food was for eating, not for looking at. To preserve the flavor of each dish, he used light scauces and necessary ingredients only. When it came to ③serve food, he changed the practice of large buffet-style meals. The meals were ④breaking down into several courses, with one dish per course.

Generally, they would start the meal with soup, ⑤followed by a fish dish, and then a meat dish. At the end, there was always a delicious dessert. Unlike the huge buffets, each course could be served fresh from the kitchen. This was a revolution in the history of cooking.

Another Earth could be circling the star right next door to us. Astronomers announced on Wednesday that they had detected a planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the closest neighbor to our solar system. Intriguingly, the planet is in the star's "Goldilocks zone," where it may not be too hot or too cold. That means liquid water could exist at the surface, raising the possibility for life. Although observations in recent years, particularly by NASA's Kepler plant-finding mission, have uncovered a bounty of worlds throughout the galaxy close to the size of Earth, this one holds particular promise because someday, decades from now, it may be possible to reach. It's 4.2 light years, or 25 trillion miles, from Earth, which is extremely close in cosmic terms. [from an article of The International New York Times]

We live today in a world of globalized and expanding democracy due to the profound changes in train by the Industrial Revolution. It set off explosive economic growth that dramatically changed the nature of societies by mobilizing new classes of people ― the bourgeoisie or middle class, and the new industrial working class. As they became self-conscious as groups with common interests, they started to organize themselves politically and demanded the right to participate in the political system. Expansion of the franchise was usually a matter of grassroots mobilization of these newly emerging classes, which often led to violence. But in other cases it was the older elite groups that promoted democratic rights as a means of improving their own relative political fortunes. The timing of the spread of democracy in different countries therefore depended on the changing relative positions of the middle class, the working class, landowning elites, and the peasantry. Where the old agrarian order was built around large landowners dependent on servile labor, a peaceful transition to democracy became particularly difficult. But in almost all cases the rise and growth of middle-class groups was critical at the spread of democracy. Democracy in the developed world became secure and stable as industrialization produced middle-class societies, that is, societies in which a significant majority of the population thought of themselves as middle class. [from Political Order and Political Decay by Francis Fukuyama]
