B
Gretchen Alexander is sightless. But she refuses to allow her blindness to limit her life activities. She enjoys archery, golf, softball, sailing and water skiing, as well as a number of other activities that those of us who are sighted have yet to learn. She also speaks to groups about living life fully. When speaking to a group of high school students, she was once asked if there was anything she wouldn’t try. “I’ve decided to never sky dive,” she answered. “It would scare the heck out of my dog.”
Why do some people rise above their problems and live life fully, while others become defeated? Merle Shain explains it this way: “There are only two ways to approach life,”Shain says, “as a victim or as a gallant fighter. And you must decide if you want to act or to react…"
When discouraged, a victim reacts, perhaps in pain or self-pity. But a fighter will act. A fighter will make a decision to change that set of circumstances that left her or him discouraged. Or a fighter will decide to accept those circumstances with grace and move ahead anyway. A fighter will decide to act with courage. A fighter will take responsibility for his or her happiness. No matter how afraid, a fighter will refuse to give in to the most defeating of all human emotions-helplessness. A victim reacts.
A fighter acts. It’s your decision. It’s a decision about whether you will live your life fully and with courage, or whether you will be forever defeated by harsh circumstances. Make it well, for it may be one of the most important decisions you ever make.
Will you be a victim or a gallant fighter?

Ocean Park
If you love the sea, Ocean Park is the place for you! Situated on the south side of Hong Kong Island, this 870,000 square metre educational theme park provides many opportunities to learn about marine life.
To start with, the park boasts the Atoll Reef, one of the world’s largest aquariums, with about 2,500 fish from nearly 300 different species. What makes this aquarium special, however, is not just its size, but also its design. The Atoll Reef is built with an observation passageway that circles the aquarium on four different levels. This lets visitors view sea life from a variety of depths and angles.
