金牛座:Taurus the bull
We come from the
black prairie, with thousands of our other
brothers and sisters. Going to an endless sky, we moo-moo and
shine. There are twelve constellations
running to the same
direction on a huge chessboard, having different characteristics in each of them. And we
Taurus people should be not less
confident at all, as we are
trustable, calm and brave. Welcome to ACE Radio, I'm Ris. Today,
I'm going to give you, especially those Tauruses among you, a
special
program on one constellation-Taurus the bull.
Taurus has quite some
interesting traits; here is a brief
introduction on it.
Tauruses are
definitely Money-Lovers. People may sometimes consider us to be so
stingy that give us some nicknames, such as Purse-Pursuer, and
Coin-Cock. Well, I say that is not fair.
Ok, ok, fine. We do
love money. But what is wrong with it? As a matter of fact,
Tauruses are not just cheapskates. We treat money
as a kind of material method of living. Look, the world now has
been flat. And during this process, as you and me all agree with,
currency has done a great job. So that means almost every one
minute we stand or sit or lie on the ground, we are gonna need
money.
It's very easy to
understand. Daily necessaries. When you drive a vehicle, you must
fill it with fuel. When you are preparing a wonderful dinner for
your lover, you can't round salt and sugar, even some warm candles
and
romantic music CDs. When you suddenly come up with an idea of
travelling to Tibet to see the
alpine vegetations
by yourself, there is no way for you to set off right away without
food and water. When you are thinking about going
abroad for
further study, even with the support of scholarship, you
also have the necessity of affording the flight, which will do you
a great favor by avoiding you from swimming all the way across the
Pacific Ocean.
Here, let's enjoy a piece of cut from the movie Mamma Mia, you'll
know my meaning
much better.
Actually, the love of
money is also a
reflection upon Taurus's
belief in reality. We
don't usually float in the wild ocean of fantasy. Staring at
something that is beyond our reach with red eyes is also not what
we would like to do. Let alone dreaming about meeting with a white
horse
prince who is
extremelycharming and handsome, waving his
shining sword, looking at me with a pair of deep blue eyes which
are just like two
precious gems, and we finally fall in love and have a happy ending.
To Tauruses, this can only be in fairy tales, not our real
lives.
The
positive points of this character
are obvious. Tauruses
are
apparently tended to be saving, and most of us have our own
ways to plan the
income and expense so that we can not only easily
meet the both ends, but also be able to keep our wallets swelling.
To some degrees, any one has the
possibility to be a
beggar while
Tauruses do not as we never drain the river.
Many Tauruses keep account
books--I'm happy to be one in this troop-and the good habit
help us to know exactly how our coins come in and where do they
pathetically go. We will study the
account book in
the end of every month, reflecting if there is any sum of money
that has been spent inappropriately and unnecessarily. If there is,
then we gotta to avert something similar happens
again in the next month. But it doesn't mean that Tauruses have no
entertainments. It's only that we are
learned about how to control
the fire. We have a
flexible space in which money can be used
without questions on our interests, like bookworms' books and movie
zealots' tickets. What's more, Taurus's small
exchequer will be quite helpful when we face the
need of buying something expensive.
What else do Tauruses have in our characteristics?
Though we might not be as smart as the others do, we are practical
and hard-working. There may be a pile of files
waiting for
arrangement and classification. Tauruses complain, too. However we
will finish the job anyway. The work can be very boring, Tauruses
sign, too. But we
eventually will hand it in on time.
It's sometimes just
like how Chris Gardner went get his happiness with the perspiration
and determination. Will Smith played this role in the movie, The
Pursuit of Happiness, which was adopted from a true story happening
on an African-American
investment expert. I think we all learn how
hard life could be in it, and also how we are able to change it
with our own hands.
Anyway, no matter what
constellation we belong to, happiness is
definitely the most important thing we are chasing after. So, let's
do what we must do, lie on the bed after a tired day of working,
then tell ourselves that we have done the best. May every Taurus
find his happy ending.
