(Your character suspects her husband is having an affair and decides to spy on him. What she discovers is not what she was expecting...)

My husband is the best!!!

Hello my dear reader.
 I want to tell you one story that happened with me and my lovely husband some time ago. So, we have been living together for a long time and we were over head and ears in love. But one time I noticed that he is often late from his work. Then he said that he had a very important work and every weekend he went away somewhere and came back late at night. The first thought in my head was that he had an affair. It made me depressed, but at the same time I had no evidence,there were no signs of betrayal, I mean the smell of other woman's perfume or lipstick  or hair  somewhere on his clothes,nothing of the kind. And what do you think I did? I deciced to spy on him. So, it was Saturdau night.
-What are you going to do, my darling?
-I must go, I'll be at home very late,don't wait for me.
-Again?If you love you won't leave me alone!
-But I can't. I'm sure you'll understand me soon.
And he went away...Today was our anniversary. 
It was the final nail in the coffin.
I wore my black coat, sunglasses and a big hat. Well, what do you think, me dear reader, will anybody recognize me? I hope no. 
I was watching him all the way. When he reached some very old building he turned back to see if there was somebody. I hardly managed to hide behind a tree. He came in the abandoned house. In  few minutes I came in too. I suppose there were he and his mistress, but, my dear reader, I couldn't believe me eyes. There was something that I didn't expect to discover. There were he, my sweetheart, and enormous picture. It was a picture of our portraits,it was a copy of our first collective photo where we were kissing on the seashore.
All this time he was making a pretty present for me.....
My husband is the best.

Failure is an option, but fear is not.
  • James Cameron was very curious boy. He was really keen on science-fiction.During his way to school he was always absorbed in a science-fiction books and it took his mind to other worlds. Also, he tried to understand the World, the limits of possibility.He was hiking and taking samples of frogs, snakes, bugs and looking at it under the microscope. I don't think that he was popular in school, because he had other interests, and that's wny he was a sort of reticent person. I would like to have such a friend, because I think that James Cameron was very interesting, clever and unusual.
  • James Cameron grew up in the 60s, when people were exploring the Moon and deep oceans. He knew about places and animals  that people could never really have imaginated it before. The time shapes him as a very curious man and it showed him that there are a lot of unexplored things in our world. As for me, my time has a big influence on me. I mean that earlier there was no Internet and people did their best trying to find out the information they needed. They used books, they read, they were more curious than we are now. Nowadays there is a good and useful thing- Internet. It makes our live much more easier. And I think that I'm going to become lazier and lazier. 
  • Diving and drawing were very important acticities in young Cameron's life. Diving was an opportunity for him to reseach the unknown underwater world, which was for him as a world of aliens. I have a lot of activities in my life and I don't know which of them is the mist imroptant. I'm fond of drawing, when I draw - I show my soul. Also I like taking photod very much. I'm happy that I can save a piece of obvious beauty, my memories, some events and people of my life by taking photos of it. It's a kind of magic.Really.
  • I haven't the "Abyss", but I really want to. I've seen the "Terminator 2" and I like it very much. I was mesmerised by watching the film with the liquid metal dude. The computer generated animation is really magical. "A whole new world of creativity"
  • James Cameron said that our imagination creates the reality. But also it's very important for him to explore. While he was exploring the Titanic he was also imaginating that he was exploring space, because there was similar environment. It was cold, dark, hostile and there was no hope of rescue if you couldn't get back by youself. There were everything during the exploration: imagination, adventure, curiosity and new experience. I think that the best variant  is when the imagination and exploration are along with each other.
  • Сameron has learned that the most important thing in a team is respect. You respect your team and you get their respect in return. Then, curiosity- the most powerful thing we own. Then, imaginatoin is a force that can actually manifest a reality. And never put limitations on youself, take risks! I completely agree with James Cameron and I support his thoughts.
