Basketball is much more than a sport. It is both exercise and excitement. Apart from keeping you fit, basketball helps you get social, make new friends, and learn the art of defying（藐視）failure and overcoming challenges. It allows you to enjoy basketball at your personal basketball goal and make the most of the advantages that this great game offers.

3.A few rounds of shooting at your basketball goal can reduce your stress and anger. Hitting the mark at the basketball backboard will help you focus on your work when you return to your work place. The confidence and self-belief you get while playing make you face challenges with a better attitude.

A few months ago I was at a bus stop in town in the evening. The bus came on time and I took the window seat. The bus was running by the seashore and I was enjoying the wind while watching the sea waves. After a few minutes the bus made its next stop. A young boy and a girl got on. They were standing on my left when the bus pulled off. I looked at them curiously and realized that all the window seats were taken up. They could sit but not together. Suddenly a different wave passed through my body and my mind gave me the advice to get up. I got up and gave them my seat. The young lady smiled kindly and said thanks. I took another seat. I don’t remember whether I got off the bus before them or not.

Months passed by. Suddenly one day while I was standing at the same bus stop waiting some time for the bus to arrive I heard a voice.

“Excuse me, Uncle.” I looked in the direction of the voice. It was a beautiful young lady.

Puzzled, I said, “I do not recognize you.”

She said, “Do you remember you gave us your window seat?”

Puzzled, I said, “Maybe, but what is so great in that?”

She said, “If you had not given your seat that day, perhaps I would have not sat with my friend. By sitting together it helped us break up a misunderstanding that had been between us for a long time. Do you know we are getting married next month?”

“Good! God bless both of you,” I replied.

The young lady again said thank you and went on her journey. I realized the importance of giving that day.

Season two of Where Are We Going, Dad? A reality show on Hunan TV is even more fun and colorful than the first. We’ve been able to watch different kinds of father-son/daughter relationships unfold. This time around we see the families at their most happy and awful moments.

Dad: Huang Lei, 43

Daughter: Huang Yici (Duo Duo), 8

Huang Lei, among his many jobs—actor, director, singer and lecture—is also a farther. He couldn’t be more patient when it comes to take care of his daughter Duo Duo. As the oldest kid in the show, Duo Duo is smart, thoughtful and wise beyond her years. Together, they’re the pair with the most positive energy on the show.

Dad: Lu Yi, 38

Daughter: Lu Yuxuan (Bei’r), 5

As the most stylish father in the show, actor Lu Yi certainly knows how to look handsome. We often see him wearing fashionable clothes, and matching outfits with his daughter Bei’r. But as a dad, sometimes his ability is not equal to his willing. Fortunately, Bei’r is an obedient child who behaves well.

Dad: Francis Ng, 53

Son: Feynman Ng, 5

These two have the traditional father-son relationship, where the father is serious and the son is obeyed by only a glance. “A tough man with a tender heart” is the best way to describe this actor from Hong Kong, especially when we see him giving Feynman encouragement and support. Feynman is s a strong and independent boy who always tries to hold back his tears in front of the camera.

Dad: Yang Wei, 34

Son: Yang Wenchang , 4

As a father, the former world champion gymnast isn’t as powerful as he was in competition. Yang has showed us his soft, patient and quiet side. Yang’s good life skills make it quite easy for him to look after his son on his own. Yang Wenchang, on the other hand, is a perfect example of the saying “l(fā)ike father, like son”.

Dad: Gary Chaw, 34

Son: Joe Chaw, 5

Daughter: Grace Chaw, 3

It is the most dramatic group on the show. Malaysian singer Gary Chaw may not be so great at parenting, but he certainly knows how to play with his children.
