Happy Chinese New Year

First and foremost, Happy Chinese New Year everyone. Tis the year of the rabbit!




I hope this makes for an interesting blogpost because I managed to rumage around the internet for some pretty interesting facts about the Chinese Horoscope this year as well as some other random information.

personality traits of those born in the year of the Rabbit include:

  • sensitive
  • tactful
  • home-loving
  • refined
  • long-living
  • ambitious
  • cultured
  • well-mannered
  • artistic
  • considerate
  • suave
  • graciously hospitable
  • modest

and that is just to name a few!!

Now for some other interesting facts. How about the many famous rabbits through our history! And yes i literally mean RABBITS:

  • Roger Rabbit




















  • Bugs Bunny










  



  • Velveteen Rabbit













  • Peter Rabbit





























  • Rabbit from Winnie the Pooh















  • The White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland



  • Thumper from Bambi


Wow, I think its obvious rabbits have had pretty large impact on the entertainment industry especially when reaching out to younger children.

These characters have so many different qualities and personas yet one thing in common, They're ADORABLE!

Think you could come up with a speech relating to rabbits? Consider it. A simple subject such as this could be used in so many ways to mold a very interesting speech topic indeed. 

That's all for now from TUTMC.

Keep reading, and of course never stop "Pushing yourself to the Limit"
