Olympics Doesn’t Help China Tourism For 2008

Olympics was a great international event for China which pushed many to visit the country from all over the world.

The people who visited China in 2008 are 130 million, according to the numbers released by China’s National Tourism Administration. But still it was lower by around 2 million from the number of people who visited China on 2007.

This accounts to total of 2 percent fall in tourists’ rate of China. According to the official data, this is the first fall in five years.

The major thing that could have put people away from visiting the country could be the over security measures that were took up by the country for Olympics. Also the complicated visa requirements could somehow have impacted the demand. And then there was this earthquake which killed or kept missing almost 90,000 people from China.

And the economy downturn going on in all over the world plays the major role in dropping visitors’ number.

When Do They Stop It?

The number of people being killed mercilessly for unexplained reasons is still seen in many places. There are certain regions people never try to get rid of their strange beliefs though they don’t make any sense.

Imagine your neighbor coming to fight with you because his cat didn’t meow since two days. You don’t understand anything and he keeps shouting at you though you say that you don’t know home and his silly cat.

The situation is more serious than this example. In real position, the person just grabs you out of your house; tie your hands and legs, drag you around the streets tied to some vehicle, and then tie you to a tree. He then throws some old clothes at your face and set you ablaze, all alive. And worst part of it is that you don’t get any help or support amid of strong support to your abuser.

This condition is not just restricted to some poor nations. We hear sorcery and witchcraft (not videogames) even in developed countries. When do people stop this?

The Power of Confidence

Confidence is the feeling of one’s strength or ability to perform things and to succeed. Confidence makes a person perform to his full extent, no matter how critical the work is.

If you are one of those many people who wonder at the confidence of your fellow human, then you are sure losing the ecstasy of satisfaction of your life. It comes within you when you are sure that you have performed to your full skill, talent and ability.

Many say that you become confident only when you have handled any such situation and were successful. It may be true; but when you are compelled to face a strong guy in some hand to hand fight, which you never did before, you will be beaten badly if you fail to bring up confidence in you.

Every human being has his own challenges in life. Challenges keep on coming one after the other, no matter how efficient you are. There is no other choice except to face and fight.
